The Cooler Master MasterCase SL600M aims to offer an option for those professionals who require clean looks but also love to showcase the tech that makes their systems run. Incidentally, that also means gamers may find the SL600M just as intriguing. The chimney effect—something we have seen in other cases before—aims to keep all the components within as cool as possible by allowing hot air to rise.

Even though the SL600M does not feature any traditional hard-drive trays, you may still install up to eight drives within due to four 2.5" slots and four multi-purpose trays for 2.5"/3.5" units. In addition to that, thanks to the unique placement of the PSU bay, there is plenty of space for long GPUs, as well as a CPU cooler, but you may also opt for liquid-cooling setups if you are so inclined.

All this makes the Cooler Master MasterCase SL600M a great case, but to justify a US$200 price tag, there needs to be a bit more, and there is. On top of the excellent I/O panel with its three generations of USB ports and built-in fan controller, you get a great material mix and USB ports that light up, which means you can easily connect your gadgets to it even in the darkest of environments.

The Cooler Master MasterCase SL600M is the sleekest chassis I had the pleasure of taking a look at for a long time, and I wonder if there will ever be an all-black version of it.
