Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 ATX Mid-Tower (Open Box)

Long time PC builder on both a personal and professional level. I've worked with half a dozen other Cooler Master cases in the past and typically enjoy the brand. With this purchase, I was looking to house some leftover hardware and put it to work as a secondary streaming box. The NR600 fit my budget and seemed to offer some pretty nice features that aren't common in this price range. The Good: - Awesome tempered glass side panel, super easy to remove and work with - Easy to access and abundant back panel with plenty of room for cabling - Great airflow, can hold 4 120mm fans and 2x 140mm fans up top. - Cool magnetic dust filter for the top - Lots of SSD mounting space The Bad RIVETS. RIVETS EVERYWHERE. -The entire bottom, including power supply mounting area AND the 3.5" HDD cage, are RIVETED IN. This case could have been one of the best in this price range, but this totally ruined it for me. Not only does this severely limit the power supply size you could fit in this case, as you must slide it in through the side, but it also makes working with 3.5" HDDs and mounting the front fans incredible difficult. Most cases, the HDD case is removable so you can mount your drives outside of the case and then reinstall the cage with drives in place. Not here. The whole mount is sealed inside the bottom of the case and immovable. Good luck finding a small enough screw driver, or if you happen to have larger hands. Makes this space virtually unusable. At bare minimum, the HDD cage should be removable with screws, and it would have been a bonus if the power supply area was also accessible (although rivets here are more common). -SSD Mounting - They use this weird "pin" system. They're half pin, half thumb screw, and rely on rubber gaskets and pressure to stay in place. In all my years, I've never seen a system like this and I absolutely hate it. Once your drives are mounted, there is a very real chance they'll move around as these strange screw-pins don't truly lock them in place. These screw-pin-things are used in abundance all around the case. This is another thing where Cooler Master should not have tried to reinvent the wheel, and ended up hurting the design more than they helped it. Overall, for $60-65 it's an OK case. It looks great with RGB fans, has awesome airflow, and is very easily accessible via the awesome glass and rear panels. However, the pin-screw system and the excessive use of rivets instead of screws, absolutely killed this case for me. There is no way I'd buy one again as a result. **NOTE**: From reading reviews, it sounds like there is a newer version of this case that uses screws to resolve my major issue with the case. I find it really disappointing that Amazon is selling both versions of this case, and you should know that you're basically gambling with your money if you buy it here. At the same time I bought this case, my GF spent $10 more and bought the Lian Li Lancool 215 case, and my oh my is it amazing. If you can spring the extra $10, it's absolutely a FAR superior case that is easier to work in, includes more fans, has more features, AND DOESN'T USE RIVETS. Do yourself a favor and skip this Cooler Master unit.
