Last year, we saw many new designs from Cooler Master at COMPUTEX, which were gradually released into the market. After a year of feedback from end-users, Cooler Master has refreshed their lineup of computer cases to meet the different requirements of system builders!
The upgrades take form in a few areas. This year, we saw more cases with addressable RGB fans for better customization options. Additionally, since there were complains from users stating that airflow was limited with an acrylic front panel, Cooler Master has also included new cases with meshed front panel for more efficient air intake as well. The overall design can be seen to be suited for gamers, with cool angled edges and colourful lighting. Overall, the best has just gotten better, and quirks from previous generations have been fixed.
We can also see that Cooler Master is really building an identity and brand for their cases. There are certain characteristics that sets the Cooler Master cases aside from any other cases from other brands.

- Cosmos
- C700M

The front panel and side panel offer a clear view of the front fans and system configuration, while the side panel behind the motherboard is patterned tempered glass to hide the open side of the PSU.
