I got the chance to try the MasterCase 5 at PAX Prime in Seattle and was very pleased with the build quality and design. I highly recommend skipping the base model and upgrading to Pro because .well. There's no point going for the base model if you don't have the budget. But even then, you'll probably buy a different case. Some of the things I noticed at the event are not reflected in the company description: - The case is VERY STRONG - When the doors slide out they don't fall, they actually hang which is a cool safety feature - Free form accessories grow fast, and while the current ones are boring, they come up with cool new ones (e.g. transparent tempered glass side panel) - the I/O panel can be upgraded to support Type-C and 3.1 in the future, so you no need to upgrade the case to connect the front panel. The base model, as mentioned, is absolutely not worth the hassle and I think most reviewers have said the same. Coolermaster needs to make sure they are available when they say so!
