Cooler Master Gladiator 600 Review - PAGE 5

The Gladiator 600 is a very sturdy, well-built case that will suit the needs of anyone who buys it. With the option to add three more 140mm fans to the mix -- two intakes and one exhaust -- keeping your rig cool should not be a worry. The overall look is generic enough to throw me off a bit personally -- for my own tastes, I just prefer a little more flash. But some may appreciate the more restrained look more than I, so in the looks department, it still scores alright with us. 

There were very few things that I didn't like about the Gladiator. The first, as just mentioned, is the generic look, but this is just my opinion. The second is the plastic part of the front bezel that houses the power and reset switches. I found that finger prints are seen easily and not that easy to be removed. The biggest gripe I had was the wire management system, although there was one there, it wasn't the greatest I have dealt with from Cooler Master.

All in all the Gladiator 600 did what it was designed to do effortlessly, out-of-the-box from Cooler Master, and that is what we are after. The tool-less retention system works like a charm with the quality that we expect and with great ease. For a chassis that retails around 70 bucks USD you should be more than happy with what you get in this package. It comes with five 5.25" external drive bays one of which can be converted to a 3.5", dust filters completely tool-less installation of your gear at a great price this chassis has some extreme value.

Weighing in at 21lbs empty it is on the hefty side so once it is place, I would leave it there. In the end, I do recommend this case due to the value it holds, and at the price point it sits at doesn't get much better, making the case a good choice for many new comers to the world of the custom built PC.
