Cooler Master WaveMaster Mid-Tower Case Review

Over the last year or so the computer chassis market has been inundated with low quality, cheesy looking pre-mod cases geared towards the “gamer” crowd. The funny thing is that I consider myself a gamer and I wouldn’t give most of these so called gaming cases the honor of housing my beloved hardware. Now, I understand that there is actually a market for these cases and that some people do actually like them, but I know that at least Brian feels the same as I do on this subject. As I have expressed in the past, I am rather disappointed by the many companies who have opted to design these high profit margin cases with little attention to quality. Although I think many of the cases on the market are horrid chunks of metal that should have never made it past the drawing board, what really gets me is the quality of these cases.

For me, when it comes to cases, what is important is the quality of materials, user-friendly features, and of course, design. Through the years there have been a few companies who have continued to build quality cases despite the unfortunate market trends. Some of these companies include Lian-Li, Antec, SilverStone, and Cooler Master. Today it is my great pleasure to be reviewing one of Cooler Master’s more recent (and very successful) all-aluminum chassis – the WaveMaster.
