Value and Conclusion

  • The Cooler Master Gladiator will set you back a mere 64.90 € at CaseKing.de. Expect to find the case at a similar price point, but in US Dollars in the United States.
  • Affordable case, with clean design
  • Good interior layout
  • Interesting choice for entry level gamers
  • Silent operation of fans
  • Switch to toggle the fan LEDs
  • Dust filter for PSU included
  • Sturdy handle to carry the case around
  • Solid plastic sliding locks for the external drives
  • Simple but well constructed rail system for hard drives
  • Dust filter for the entire front of the chassis
  • Fan lighting can be turned off with a push of a button
  • Cutout in mainboard tray for backplate installation without mainboard removal
  • Well packaged
  • Top fan blocks access to connectors of mainboard
  • Screw-less system for optical drives does not hold perfectly.
  • Many openings in the case do not have dust filters
  • No rear fan included
  • Clips to hold expansion cards in place won't manage large and heavy cards
The Cooler Master Gladiator 600 is an affordable case and should be an interesting choice for most first time builders. It features the same guts as the CM Storm Scout, but costs almost 30% less. That said, do not expect the case to be above average in most areas. You will get two 120 mm fans, which is pretty standard with enclosures at this price range. The same goes for the locking mechanisms and overall build quality. There are some highlights however, which you will not find on other offerings. While the hole under the mainboard tray for easy cooler removal is becoming more and more popular with case manufacturers, the switch to turn LED lights of the front fan on/off is certainly a nice touch for a case of this price range. Overall, all of those looking to avoid a cheap OEM case and are willing to pay a few extra bucks for something with a "brand name" and clean, simple but functional features should be more than happy with the Gladiator 600.
