Cooler Master, a leader in design and manufacturing computer components and peripherals, today launched a range of products built for the PC community at large. The top-of-the-line Maker products (MasterCase Maker 5, MasterAir Maker 8, and MasterWatt Maker 1200) are designed to enable enthusiasts and professionals to build their version of the ultimate PC. With the first wave of Maker products, Cooler Master delivers an ecosystem that embeds excellent performance and superb quality within a customizable medium which gives users the freedom to explore, express and enjoy their creativity as it unfolds.

"Our newly launched products really put our fans in control. Whether it be through controlling and monitoring the MasterWatt Maker 1200 through the Cooler Master Connect software, by changing the top cover of the MasterAir Maker 8 to their own taste or by selecting a case that's specifically configured for their very own needs." said Joost Gommans, EU Marketing Manager. "It's the first step towards providing a customizable, upgradable and adjustable ecosystem for the community."



Make of It What You Will: The MasterCase Maker 5 with FreeForm Modular System
The new wave of case technology pioneered by our MasterCase series crests with the unique FreeForm Modular System, which allows the freedom to swap and customize the case's form and functionality with multiple interior and exterior outlooks. Stay connected and in control with four USB ports, including one 3.0 Type C, with added fan speed and LED control buttons on the upgraded I/O panel. The top and front door panels fit snugly with a magnetic grip, and the top panel gives you the freedom to choose to cover the top or ensure airflow through the top mesh. The front panels are padded to suppress sound and deliver the right balance between noise and airflow.

The MasterCase Maker 5 can contain up to six 140mm fans, and comes with three pre-installed fans and a red LED strip, to provide a customized air cooling experience. Front installation of a 280mm liquid cooling system is easy with the adjustable bottom-mounted HDD cage. Combined with an arsenal of accessories for noise control, lighting expression and thermal performance, the MasterCase Maker 5 outdoes all notions of the standard build.

Feedback sessions with the community have helped us to create two brand new accessories to accompany the launch of the MasterCase Maker 5; The tempered glass side panel which will be available at launch, and the VGA card holder which will follow at a later stage. All accessories, including external panels and kits will be available for purchase from authorized retailers If applies for your region, fill in your MasterRetail retailer , and also online at the Cooler Master online stores in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Be Bold in Your Pursuit of Cold: The MasterAir Maker 8 with 3DVC Technology
Cooler Master's latest breakthrough in thermal technology is the world's first air cooler to feature exclusive 3D Vapor Chamber (3DVC) technology. The 3D Vapor Chambers seamlessly merges the horizontal base with heatpipes, helping to improve cooling by 19% compared to conventional copper base coolers. The greater protection provided against CPU overheating makes it perfect for intensive gaming and overclocking. Express yourself freely by creating and designing your own top cover design, or choose from two bundled designs - a translucent cover or an aluminum plate for a clean, stylish finish. Flashy red LED lights give off just the right look and feel for gamers and reliable Silencio FP fans run quietly, providing high-pressure cooling over an ultra-long lifespan.

Real Power, Real Control: The MasterWatt Maker 1200 Digital Power Supply with Exclusive Cooler Master Connect Mobile Software
Cooler Master's Titanium 94% efficiency digital power supply unit offers extreme performance with unparalleled oversight and control via our exclusive Cooler Master Connect software and app. Second-generation 3D circuit design achieves nearly lossless efficiency through a shorter, uncluttered expressway of power, cutting wiring and heat wastage. The Silencio FP 135mm keeps fan vibration, noise and power consumption to a minimum while providing high air pressure, and the honeycomb mesh design allows proper airflow to components. Top it off with a brushed aluminum finish, keeping the system looking just as good as it runs. Check accurate digital readouts and control all key power parameters, even while your computer is asleep, via our easy to use and comprehensive Bluetooth V4.0 LE smartphone app. Every fluctuation streams on your Windows, Android or iOS device in real-time. A unique logging system records and saves all data to the hard disk in the event of failure. It also comes with fully modular, upgraded cabling that can handle higher loads, and a seven-year warranty for peace of mind.

Power Your Passion and #MakeItYours with Cooler Master
The 'Power Your Passion" campaign encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue their passion, whether 3D Animation, Stop Motion, Virtual Reality, Modding, Design, Gaming, Overclocking, etc. Cooler Master encourages everyone to share their passion by posting their images to social media #MakeItYours and to inspire others.

"We all know people create incredible things through PCs that they built themselves. This campaign furthers our vision of Make It Yours by reaching out to the community and giving them a voice to share their passion".

The case has a free form modular system, but you can't move the motherboard up, to allow better air flow in the bottom card. :wtf:

Wow, at first I thought the cooler was the front of an itx case... That's a huge knuckle buster.. I don't really care for those since the aio water coolers. Even with my H50 dying and leaking I still like them, but I didn't lose anything either.

I really like Cooler Master cases, but I don't really care for this one or any case that has a solid front cover.. I need to see a grill.. lol I need for it to say when someone looks at it that, "I will cut you if you touch me!"... lol

I could be wrong but from what I understand its a modular case and the Maker comes with most modular parts standard and the front cover is one. There are other versions that dont include the front cover and you can see there's a grill. Also the front cover is removable.
I think you can also start with a lesser version and add separate modular parts to it down the road.

Plenty of room on the bottom. That is a triple slot gpu, so you see less space.

The whole point of spacing the cards apart is for better air flow between them, limiting the flow to the bottom card negates that.
