Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 Customizable Open-Air Frame ATX Case, Panoramic Tempered Glass, Premium Variable Friction Hinges, Built-In VESA Mount, Test Bench Mode

Amazing open case. Easy assembly. Building around a 9800X3D and a 5090GPU Dual water cooling

This case can serve as a test bench for those of us who are always switching out GPU's and have OC Motherboards that have to be messed with a lot. It is EXTREMELY well built. It also allows for a more classic vertical glass enclosed case. This is the best PC Enthusiast case, period. Well worth a couple hundred bucks when a flimsy POS case costs over 100. Do NOT waste your money on a cheap case when your going to build a 5,000 computer on top or in it.

This was my third PC build and I absolutely love it but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't confident in their ability, I ran into many issues with this casestarting off the back panel did not align with my MOBO requiring me to remove it to install the heatsink, so I would check your MOBO dimensions before decidingsecond the appropriate screws on the left radiator wing did not properly secure and I had to use thumbscrews this sounds minor and it is, but I expect better from CM and there's no reason for this to be the case. perhaps I am unlucky but it does accurately reflect my experience so i'm going to leave it inmy initial plan was to have the rad behind the wings and the fans in front but the rads I bought didn't quite clear the top of the wings so I had to put both in front, this unfortunately means that I have limited access to my GPU's display ports because the cords are blocked by my fans, I would think with how ubiquitous radiator designs are they could have taken this into accountsimilarly the bracket meant to secure your GPU might possibly block your I/0 ports on your MOBO or outright prevent you from installing your MOBO, they provide to sets of holes to secure it and fortunately the lower most set is just underneath my MOBOthese are things that are both my fault for not properly researching and poor design on CM's part both can be true at the same timesomething also to note it is very heavy, and with very few ways to comfortably hold it, and if the screws securing your rad/fan wings are loose they will fall off while moving itall that said I do love this case its very unique and a great choice for a custom loop

Cuesta un poco armarlo, recomiendo usar tornillos diferentes a los del manual en las bisagras para evitar inconvenientes, los grandes que son bastantes que incluye el case sirven mejor

I am building a PC and was looking at a test bench for spare parts and tinkering when I came across this. I returned my case and bought this instead. It’s actually pretty amazing. My only “con” would be there is no instructions. There is a picture “menu” attached the the glass. The thing I like about the instructions is a lot of cases have the book with all compatible fans, rads, cards, mobos... etc and show pictures of how they fit. I understand a “test bench” fits just about everything but my 140 fans don’t seem to line up anywhere. So...

The instructions are some of the worst I've ever seen. But once you get it assembled the way you want it, this thing is fantastic. It's built extremely well too. Solid as a rock.

PROS:- Radiators breathe freely: though the "grate/grill pattern" is, uh, not very efficient technically. It should have just been a square hole cut out IMO. Regardless, This is why *I* bought this case personally. There is no hot air coming into or out of a closed air case through radiators. I like this a lot. I don't care that it's a very minimal impact. It just feels better to me. Though that means there is no airflow over the Motherboard components like VRM, Chipsets, or SSD... but that's not a problem for me so far.- It is very unique and has a commanding presence. With water-cooling it looks like a mad science experiment.- Very easy to work on. Everything is right there. You can see in the photo I'm fixing a water pump, and it's much easier than a closed case because any water that drips... well just hits the table.CONS:- It's HEAVY with watercooling. Watercooling often adds a lot of weight, but this bad boy is STEEL andLARGE. I HATE moving this thing with a passion, because it's cumbersome, heavy, and the only way to hold it is thin steel sections which hurt your fingers. DO NOT GET THIS if you need to move this PC frequently. DON'T DO IT.- It's open air... so expect DUST. If you put it in "bench" mode, there is slightly less dust coming down on it if you put the glass over it.... but it will still be there from air flow. I didn't clean out the dust to give you an idea of what 6 months may look like.- Takes up A LOT of space. This thing will require an entire side of your desk. Sure you could maybe wall mount it... but it's HEAVY and at that point.- NO vertical GPU mount. Really? For $200 I couldn't just get a little piece of stamped steel that lets me mount the GPU vertically like all the cool kids?- Terrible access to motherboard IO. Especially for video cards if the sides are angled in. Just look at the photo of that GPU. Yeah, gross.NEUTRAL:- Cable management is simply up to your ability. I personally don't care as long as it's not in the way. I want performance and ease of repair/access to components.First off, this is not obviously not your traditional "case". In fact it's not really a "case" because it's hardly more than some nicely put together stamped/CNC cut painted STEEL with hinges and a glass panel. It's hard to put it up against any other of your typical cases in any way. That being said, it's wildly silly and impractical for most users. Please look up Gamer's Nexus review on youtube. It's just not really a product for MOST people...But I'm not most people. You may like this if you're looking for similar reasons I wanted it. I had a bunch of water cooling equipment, I've always wanted to try an open-air solution, and I only care about performance and ease-of-use.1 Year of use:After about a year, I would say I don't regret buying it. Dust isn't much worse than a case without a good filter. In fact, you can just so easily dust this guy out while it just sits on your desk, because, well, it's open to you. But like I said, moving this sucks so much. I hate moving it to another room for various reasons... but you may rarely need to move a computer anyway, so not a big deal.IO sucks. I use usb extension or hubs, but when I have to go back there, yeah, it's garbage. The USB cables often just hang over the top of the case unless they are super long, since going around the thing is like walking around a mountain. If the PC is on your right, it's less awful, but if you put it on the left of your desk, yeah, gross. And the top IO panel is just that. A TOP panel. So the cables just jut out from the top. But I don't' care about aesthetics that much.The hinges have only slightly loosened up since I first tightened them. I don't know how long they'd hold up if it was in bench mode and they were angled up... but they seem pretty strong.
