Review on Cooler Master MasterFrame 700: Ultimate Custom Test Bench & Open-Air ATX PC Case with Panoramic Tempered Glass and Premium Friction Hinges by Roger Diaz

I've long planned to build a wall mount from scratch and this 'suitcase' turned out to be the perfect solution that didn't break the bank and took a lot less time. than building from scratch, and offers real flexibility in every way; It's hard not to recommend Masterframe to literally every builder for every application. The quality is top notch and while the instructions aren't the most detailed, they get the job done; It's like Coolermaster has outsourced the marketing department to take care of the packaging and instructions to organize the process of opening the box - which is great - but lacked a bit of the experience to 'build my case' ". Speaking of which, WARNING: DO NOT loosen the wing hinges more than a few turns by hand. If you loosen them many turns and make them "wiggle", you won't be able to tighten those loops again no matter what you do. Because there is no re-tensioning bushing on the underside of the hinges. I think this is really the only real "problem" or oversight in this case and although I have contacted CM to order replacement hinges I have never received a reply. I'm not upset though because when hanging on the wall the loops on my right fender (power supply mount) are no problem as the weight of the power supply will hold the fender wherever I rotate it. Coolermaster should really state this in the manual OR fit the fender hinges with bushings on both ends to allow the user to fully loosen and fully tighten the hinges. I used a VESA mount with long screws to stand on the wall and room for cables and SSDs in the back; The manual says to remove everything from the back for a wall mount, but with 2.75-inch screws that's no problem, and you have plenty of room to hide a snake's nest of cables for various things in the back. I like the design. Panels with holes everywhere because it gives you complete freedom to route the cables however you want and while I don't really care I know it makes a huge difference to most rig builders. walk. I decided against tempered glass because to be honest I don't want to put more weight on the VESA mount than necessary and I prefer the optics. The fact that this kit doesn't include a vertical GPU mount was fair. A bit odd to me given the app and the design, but makes sense given the price - while $200 may sound expensive, it's actually a very good price for what you get in the box if you start making these type of product are familiar. I play a full cockpit flight simulator on PC that doubles as my home office; I fly DCS, Elite Dangerous, X-Plane 11, Squadrons, everything - and I'm tired of crawling past the rudder pedals through the bars under my Obutto frame to work on my rig since shutting down more than 20 units was not what I wanted. to do when servicing my car on the little things; This wall mount means I can walk over to my machine and service/modify it anytime easily and conveniently, and I can take it off the wall and place it on my heavy-duty workbench. Most of time. You have to buy this.
