No doubt, consumers, though eager and hungry for better and faster hardware, have seen their share of news on the latest CPUs, graphics cards, memory kits and storage solutions. Now that those long strings of releases are over, PC makers and consumers alike can finally get down to business and plot their next rigs. Yet, there are still certain elements that will ultimately determine just how satisfied said consumers are with their systems.
Needles to say, the case itself goes a long way towards fulfilling the end-user dream of owning a computer that is as good-looking as it is powerful. No doubt, practical people wouldn't fuss much about how colorful and illuminated their chassis is on the interior, but the fact remains that those who do pay heed to such details are in greater number or, at least, more outspoken. Cooler Master opted for the middle way and, thus, the Centurion II mid-tower was born.
The chassis makes a point of providing all the necessary features while still throwing in a 140mm blue LED fan at the front, for that bit of personality that consumers have come to expect from their machines. As for the specs themselves, the all-black or all-silver steel-wrought casing boasts four exposed 5.25-inch bays, five 3.5-inch bays and an adapter that can fit two 2.5-inch or 1.8-inch drives into one 3.5-inch holder. Additionally, there is an I/O panel with USB 2.0 ports, eSATA connectivity, FireWire and, of course, audio connectors.
The Cooler Master Centurion 5 II measures 202 (W) x 440 (H) x 485 (D) mm and, though it was showcased as far back as January, has only just made its way to European stores. It can be seen in detail on the company's official
website and is listed by online retailers with a price of 59.9 Euro.
