Cooler Master Gladiator 600 Case Review

Inside Gladiator 600

Both panels are fastened to the case using thumbscrews, which is excellent. In Figure 9 we have an overall look from inside Gladiator 600. As you can see, the interior isn’t painted. This first thing that caught our attention was the presence of a big hole on the motherboard tray to give you access to the CPU cooler back plate, allowing you to replace your CPU cooler with a more powerful model without the need of removing the motherboard from the chassis. There are also another two holes (one on the top part and the other on the bottom part) that are used for routing cables behind the tray, with the tray featuring 14 cable holders.

Daughter boards are fastened to the case using individual plastic screwless mechanisms.

Since the power supply goes on the bottom part of the case, Gladiator 600 has a mesh to match the power supply bottom fan. This mesh is covered by a dust filter (see Figure 12) but this filter is not easy to remove. Whenever you want to wash it you need to remove the power supply and then remove four screws.
