Arriving at the front, we have a light gray polygon mesh front framed in a frame with the typically positioned Cooler Master logo. The overall design of this front is quite appealing for my taste and it also gives the case a certain touch.
On the top of the front, we find our I/O panel with the power button, where the power LED is integrated, the reset button, the HD audio port with 3.5 mm jacks for the headphones and for a microphone, and two USB 3.0 ports. Unfortunately, Cooler Master did not provide us with a USB C port, which is actually a good thing nowadays. It’s a shame really, but it will probably have been cost considerations for the licenses and another cable. Next to it is another HDD status LED
Once the front panel is removed, we now see the two Sickle Flow fans mentioned at the beginning. Either two 140mm fans or three 120mm fans can be installed in the front.
Next, let’s look at the right side. Under the side panel we get access to our PSU bay. There is a pre-assembled HDD cage for 2 HDDs in it. This is fixed with a screw and can be removed effortlessly.
The PSU bay is located in the right part of the bottom and is protected with a dust filter
This is important so that our power supply of choice, which is decoupled by means of rubber, can also breathe unhindered.
Let’s take a step upwards, where we also have the option to mount two SSDs, just like in the interior.
We are also just now seeing another feature. Cooler Master gives us a fan/RGB hub here. On this we have the possibility to run 4 fans and 5 RGB strips. The hub together with the built-in controller has its own lighting modes. To access these, we connect our reset button on the cabinet to the hub and can control the desired effects. This is a bit tricky, but it works. The fan signal is picked up by cable from the mainboard and forwarded to the hub, which now controls our connected fans. Of course, the whole thing needs some power – which we get via the SATA power connector.
