Yes it's a good case, however,

1. Just cleaning the front filter very problematic as i need to remove two side panel, and then only can remove the front panel.

2. The Bottom filter have a large gap in between the case and the filter. I am thinking the air have problem passing through efficiently and causing my psu fan to act up. ( a possibility )

I always bring to a motorbike shop and use the air blower to blow my casing clean.

1. I admit this is one of the problematic issue especially if your house is dusty.

2. My PSU have no problems with the bottom filter, and I only clean it once a month. Maybe it is you PSU that act up?

It's okay now, the psu. Master case 5 pro however meets some of my requirements

- removeable front filter without removing entire front panel.
- bottom filter seems larger and wider
- the legs seems taller = more air for the psu to breath?

on the plus side, there's psu compartment,
on the down side, hdd is now revealed, not much cable tie point like 690 III has,

still thinking whether should buy one though....

I clean my filters twice a week. A few days after i clean the front filter, dust already built up. psu's filter too.

I use paint brush, it cleans them nicely. I only bring the psu ( full modular ) and have stick to stop the fan and then blow at motorbike shop.

Air compressor that can do proper blow jobs you need at least 1HP, not to mention need to be check(donate) by DOSH every year for safety.

Those air-brush one should be sufficient enough right?

Blowing while brushing should do the job well.

I seldom use brush, just blow, I feel this way is safer to protect the fan from making it lose its alignment.

I recently upgraded from CM690 II to Mastercase 5

It was a toss up between CM 690 III, Corsair Carbide 400C and Mastercase 5.

1. Although I wanted a compact mid tower, I had to eliminate the 400C due to overpricing @ Lowyat Plaza
2. Knowing how much of a struggle it was to clean dust from the CM 690 II, I sided with Mastercase 5
3. Modular parts also appealed to me - especially removing the 5.25" drive bay to add 3rd intake fan (running 3 140mm front intake now!)
4. Promo price of MYR 439 @ AllIT

And that's why I chose the Mastercase 5 biggrin.gif
