CoolerMaster Centurion 590 Case Review :: CoolerMaster Centurion Exterior

The top of the CoolerMaster Centurion 590 case has two grills for 120mm fans. This is rather impressive for a mid-range case as most cases only have a single spot for top fans. The side panel also has two grills for 140mm or smaller fans. This case has more cooling fan placements than any other Med-Tower case I’ve ever seen.

On the top of the case are the I/O ports. Two USB 2.0 ports, two jacks for headphones, a Firewire port, HDD and system activity lights and the Power button adorn the top of the case. The inclusion of a Firewire port makes this case more of a high-end case than the $69 price tag would suggest. The right side panel has a 80mm fan mount where the CPU would normally be mounted. A very thin 80mm fan may fit here.

On the rear of the case are two mounting holes for water-cooling systems complete with rubber covers. The bottom of the rear has a mount hole for the PSU. Above that are the seven holes for expansion cards on the motherboard. Above that is the location of the 120mm fan grill on the rear of the case. The front door of the case has a bezel that you simply pull out to use.
