Cooler Master's latest case release is an impressive blend of style and customisation with the MasterBox 5. “You decide the inside,” is its tag line, because there are a heap of mounting options for storage bays, masses of space for coolers and radiators, cable management hooks and sleeves and a bunch of holes to make installing components that bit easier.

Of course though with all of that effort put into making the interior of the MasterBox 5 look good, there's a big side-window to let people see all of your hard work. There's also a couple of colour options for the exterior, letting you sport a black or dual tone paint job, which comes with both black and white panelling.

Cooler Master hopes this case encourages more people to consider the clean lines and improved airflow of a well managed case interior. By adding holes to install your graphics card through, a power supply cover and a number of conveniently placed cable routing holes and hooks, keeping everything neat and tidy should be a breeze.

The same goes for mounting cooling solutions. There is space for up to two 120mm fans at the front and a single 120mm at the rear, or you can opt for a 280mm radiator at the front for your own liquid cooling solution. That can actually be extended to 360mm, but you will need the optional bracket that Cooler Master provides.

The case also supports every motherboard standard from mini-ITX, right up to E-ATX, so whatever system you have, you should be able to slot your hardware into the MasterBox 5 – even if it isn't the biggest chassis out there.

The Cooler Master MasterBox 5 will be widely available in the UK by the end of July, priced at £60 inc. VAT for both models.

KitGuru Says: This is a nice looking chassis and all of those customisation and easy-mounting systems are a nice addition. Cable management is easy with some tape and cable ties, but it's always nice to be able to tidy up cabling without resorting to that.

With MMO character creators, the most you can usually expect when it comes to customisation are a few options for different beards, perhaps a handful of idle animations and a choice of weapon. However there are some that can be held up as shining examples of avatar generation  and Korean MMO Black Desert is one of those games.

In the latest trailer from developer Pearl Abyss, it shows the character creator tool in action and the combination of extremely detailed character models and the in-depth customisation of it all is very impressive, blowing away any other MMO to date.

It starts off simply enough with a few basic hair styles, which is where most MMOs would leave it, but in Black Desert you can customise how it sits when not moving, the colours in it – even fade from one to another if you like. Following on from that we see in-depth facial shape changes, with over 30 little segments of the face that can be adjusted in all manner of ways.

And that's just getting started.

Yellow eyelashes? A bit spaced out? You got it. 

This game not only beats out any MMO ever with its detailed customisation, but it beats out any wrestler creator tool too, and that's a real endorsement.

Black Desert has been in development since 2010 and uses a custom engine specifically created to offer this level of detail, whilst also handling mass player battles and a seamless – no loading bars – world. It's set for release sometime this year, though an English translation is likely to be several years down the line.

KitGuru Says: Chances are it'll be a grind-fest too, but it will be interesting to see what real player battles look like and whether the varied characters actually remain looking so once you slap a load of armour on them. It would almost seem wasteful to give characters in this game helmets.
