In comparison, the Full Tower Silverstone TJ10 has a Net Weight of 13KG which is comparable in weight.

The Warfare case has dimensions of 250mm (W) x 536mm (H) x 638mm (D). This is designed to be a full tower case and supports E-ATX, ATX and m-ATX motherboards. This is the same dimensions as their Stacker 830 Case which was used in our SkullTrail platform review. Custom paint jobs are important to the really high-end enthusiast that wants to show off. Cooler Master has teamed up with Smooth Creations, an automotive finishing company. Smooth Creations custom paints each Warfare case, so no two cases will be exactly the same.

The Warfare case came in a black box with the Cooler Master CSX logo on the side of it. A picture of the case is also included on the left hand side of the box to show which case is inside of the box. Once the box opens up the case is well padded and is wrapped in a micro-fiber case cover which keeps the painted case safe during shipping.
