Reviews:

This casing is the first LAN Case in a box size for Cooler Master, it does come with two handle at the left and right to ease user to carry it around. The quality of the case is well build with steel body and plastic bezel, it does feel quite heavy with the hardware been installed. The front grill does not include a filter that could remove easily to allow user to clean the dust if it is accumulate with dust, however it does deliver a direct airflow toward the CPU Cooler or Graphic card.

Thanks to it two chamber design, cable management is another level within this casing. Power supply, hard disk, solid state drive or DVD-Rom could now be install bottom of the case and did not expose with any extra cable that could make your build look messy. The casing come with 6 drive bays, two of it come with 3.5" support from the X-Dock that special design for end user to swap in and out the hard drive, however the turn down on the case that it's support up to two 3.5" hard drive only.

Although this casing is a LAN case, it could support motherboard size up to ATX size and this lead to expansion slots up to 7. It benefit for use that want to use multiple graphic card, other than that this case allow user to open the case easily and install or remove the hardware like Graphic Card, Motherboard, Processor, Ram or etc just a few steps and saving a lots of time for benching.

The cooling doesn't look pleasant due to the limited fan mount that been provided, front bezel support up to 120MM x 2 fan and back support up to 140MM x 1 fan only. I tried to install an AiO watercooling at the front part; Cooler Master Seidon 240M, it consume a lot of spaces and give limited length support for graphic card that been install into it.
