CoolerMaster Centurion 590 Case Review

Cases are the cornerstone upon which a system is built upon. After all a mini-ATX case is rather limited with respect to the amount of expansion cards and hard disks available to it due to its small size. The case also determines the look of a computer and cool case modifications have become the norm at LAN parties and the high-end enthusiast crowd to show off their new cases.

I’ve always had a fancy for Cooler Master cases. Their Wave Master cases were the default system builds that came with AMD processor kits and were very cool to look at and use. Their Centurion line has always been known for its mid-range pricing and high-end feature set. Today the case on the review bench is the CoolerMaster Centurion 590.
