The Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 6 ships in a large, dark grey box.
Inside, the case is actually packed in a huge bag as well – maybe something to help with the weekly shop perhaps?
Once the case is out in the open, it becomes clear that the case is actually a dark grey – I thought, at a glance, that is is black, but it is definitely a metallic grey.
The left side panel features a large acrylic window while the right-hand panel is solid. Incidentally, the case is made from steel, though the top and front panels are plastic. Still, the majority of the case is steel which feels nice and sturdy. The side panels are also very thick so you can rest assured that they are not going to mind a slight bashing.
The front panel is actually a door that opens on a hinge (as above) to provide access to any 5.25″ drives you choose to install.
The door can also be completely removed, revealing a large dust-filter below.
Underneath the dust-filter we find 2x 120mm fans which should provide decent airflow – we look at thermal dynamics later in the review.
Moving upwards, the top panel is completely solid. That being said, a new feature of the case is that the top panel and front panels can actually ‘pop up' a bit (as pictured above, right). This is designed to help with ventilation – with the panels down airflow will likely be restricted, but now you can open up the case a bit more should you wish.
Continuing the stealth theme is the I/O panel – as it is actually hidden under a small flap. The I/O consists of 2x USB 3.0 ports and headset jacks.
At the rear of the chassis, Cooler Master have done something interesting – they have included a removable panel that clips around the edges of the case. This is designed to help with the cables coming from your PC (such as your peripheral or monitor cables) as any excess cabling can be tucked away in this panel.
