Cooler Master Launches MasterCase

In-line with their new slogan, Make it Yours, which refers to the human nature of wanting unique products to express themselves, Cooler Master announces the launch of the MasterCase, the world’s first mid-sized modular tower with exterior expandability. The MasterCase heralds a new family of cases that offer unparalleled control over form and function. It draws inspiration from the MasterConcept, a revolutionary concept case developed at Cooler Master Headquarters in Taipei.

“The MasterConcept represents a vision that every person’s PC case should be unique, and is a first step in a fundamental re-imagining of our relationship with our fans and supporters,” said PS Tang, Vice President, Cooler Master. “Inspired by the MasterConcept’s revolutionary approach to interior and exterior modularity, the MasterCase represents the crest of this new wave of case technology.”

Cooler Master’s FreeForm™ Modular System

Computex 2015 will see Cooler Master debut the MasterCase 5, a 460mm-tall modular tower that comes in three distinct iterations: MasterCase 5, MasterCase Pro 5 and MasterCase Maker 5.

The MasterConcept and MasterCase break new ground in the way PCs are designed, made, bought and used. Fundamental to this reimagining is FreeForm™. Cooler Master wants users to have absolute control over how their case looks and functions. So FreeForm provides options to adjust the case exterior via the replacement of panels and doors, while also offering unparalleled flexibility for a mid-sized case in terms of interior layout.

Users can choose from the MasterCase 5’s dual top handles and standard door, the MasterCase Pro 5’s elevated mesh top cover, or the sleek lines, solid top cover and brooding, open-vent front door of the MasterCase Maker 5.

In the MasterCase, FreeForm allows a single case to support a host of different configurations, enabling users to upgrade and not replace their case and system. Through a unique clip-and click panel, FreeForm also lets users vertically adjust or entirely remove drive cages, allowing for multiple system configurations like home servers, water-cooled workstations, or gaming rigs with dual-slot extra-long graphics cards.

Those cut-outs seem pretty handy for easy installation of CPU cooler backplates and good cable management.

Expected of a product carrying the “Pro” moniker, it comes with more drive bays compared to the plain-jane MasterCase 5 and also an elevated top cover to offer support for water-cooling radiator placement.

Pokdepinion: This is indeed an interesting concept. Mix and match components to get the functionality and looks you need. Sounds good. Not only does the consumer save money by just swapping out certain pieces to suit their needs, but Cooler Master themselves will be able to save costs because they only have to produce one main chassis for the entire line-up, and produce the . And of course there is always the possibility of the modder community coming up with custom components that will just “clip and click” into the case.
