Coolermaster Mystique RC-631-KWN1-GP Review (Video)

Model: Coolermaster Mystique RC-631-KWN1-GP
Provided by: Coolermaster
Price: Estimated - $80-100

Coolermaster is a well respected name in the enthusiast community. Offering a wide range of cases, power supplies and cooling solutions, they run the gamut from the moderate enthusiast, to the extremist.

Today we present a video review of Coolermaster's Mystique Midtower ATX case. We think you'll be impressed.

Below the video, we've included basic specifications, and a photo gallery. During our video review, we were unable to turn on the stock cooling, but it does have a blue LED front fan. In the model we were sent, there was no blue LED outtake fan. Overall, the stock cooling is quiet and airflow is perfect.

Scott's Opinion: This is one awesome case, of that there is no doubt. Possessing an outstanding level of fit and finish, light weight aluminum construction, a totally tool-less design, and true style, this is one of the best aluminum cases I've had the pleasure to work with. Routing of front panel cabling through the case could have been better, but this is my only nitpick.

Nigels's Opinion: I personally feel this case is priced a little too high. I’m not particularly fond of the front I/O panel placement. I feel it would have been better at the bottom of the bezel. With that said, this case is extremely easy to work with, and using an external water cooling setup will be a breeze. The front door is stunning, and with its ability to change from one side to the other, users will be able to have a little fun with the look. The clear side panel should have included a 120mm fan, and this is something we hope CoolerMaster will look into. Overall, I must agree with Scott that this case is worthy of our Editors in Chief Award as its beauty and ease of installation takes home the prize.
