Cooler Master Readying Gladiator 600 Mid-Tower Case
Out on a good run with its most recent case products, Cooler Master is preparing a new mid-tower case named Gladiator 600. Slated for a CeBIT 2009 release, the Gladiator 600 comes with a user-friendly design. Measuring 202 x 235 x 480 mm (W x D x H), and weighing 9.7 kg (around 21.3 lbs), the case is made mostly of SECC steel. Its front-panel, including the front-fan intake and the drive-bay covers are made of a mesh-like design.

It comes with provision for up to five fans, including mounts on the front, rear, and top of the case, along with the side-panel. Further there will be two variants carved out depending on the presence of a window on the side-panel: RC-600-KKN1GP (without), RC-600-KWN1GP (with). A mostly tool-free design is employed. The motherboard tray features an opening right behind the spot where most motherboards feature CPU sockets. This helps users to install/maintain CPU coolers with back-plates without having to remove the entire motherboard from its place. There are additional latches and openings in the tray that help in cable-management. We will know more about this case when it gets released this CeBIT.

some info about the casing u mentioned~~

but then, if u planned to spray ur current one..maybe just try ur skills and practice? so that if/when u get a new casing..u would know what to do already =P

i still prefer current cm690.. it look more elegent than gladiator 600

i kinda like the gladiator due to the cable management and removable mobo tray, and also the design. hopefully if there is a transparent side panel, it's something like the elite series sidepanel, coz i dont really like the cm590/690 sidepanel. prefer everything to be seen

you've got a point there about the spraying thing.

so what i've came up with is this.

option A - stick to elite 331 casing, spray interior black, do some mini mods, and invest in uv stuff.
option b - spray interior of elite 331, wait for gladiator, spray gladiator, and then only invest in uv stuff.

any comments?

i go for option A.. coz da interior iz oso important

if u have funds and $$$ go for option b lo

there are quite a number of diy transparent side panels in the forum, youtube, internet~~ well, search at youtube..it's the best guiding method to understand rather than pictures

or u could order a pre-cut or according to ur desired designs etc~ some forumers got offer this kind of service somewhere in the forum lol..acrylic stuff all prepared already..u just gotta tell them what u want..

ccfl or uv stuff, can interchange between ur current case and ur new case?..easy to install and remove

well, maybe option a is good i guess..

hey i wanna ask cm elite owner.. what type of cpu cooler tat cm elite can fit.. prefer cm own HSF

edmunz, as i know Hyper 212 can't fit in
also there's a GeminII user for Elite series, is bro loongking
but the GeminII eats up lots of space in the casing so so think properly
CM sphere?

yeah, but send to modding need more $$$
good point on the uv stuff, probably i'm gonna go with option A. however i have a feeling that i might change my casing, sooner or later
getting poisoned by ah lian casings too..

i thought that was specially made for Intel LGA775 one?
btw ah lian casing not really nice...
i like HAF 932 coz it has weight to pull down the whole casing, then rubber feet to absorb the vibration
also they provide u with wheels which are good if u're rolling around

ah lian got style
and got certain models quite affordable.

geminiII s also can use for amd, there's another one also, hyper tx2.

aku nk swap la GeminII ni ngn Hyper212.. kcik sket...

gemin2 can mount 2 fans rite?and CM claims it cools the mobo as well (if u set the fans to blow in)

it might help cool ram mobo proc
but i bought it cuz its huge n can put 2 fans hahaha
cheers

anyone here using cooler master elite 334 and fit in thermalright ultra 120 extreme?

Hyper212 also can attach two fans on it. however, it lack in cooling the RAM, mobo etc. but, for me, i dont care as long as my intake blows them all.

Hyper 212 panjang o
make sure tak kena side panel

2x120mm to be exact
cheers

anyone using TT Big Typhoon here on Cm690 ??
the top fan haizz

btw my favorite part of CM690

Koki, cosmos ok kot. 690 snang2 ja dia masuk.

gladiator 600, seems nice also...suddenly launch this casing, i tot next casing will be the CM Havoc... cos i saw some sneak preview regarding the HAvoc when i google... it ony able to show the front top parts, then CM management level come in and stop for revealing it... sorry for my bad english...
