Coolermaster's Gladiator 600 case - mutant hybrid of two others?

When you get down to the nitty gritty of a case, you see a lot of the same things - but in the case of the Coolermaster Gladiator 600 this is taken to yet another level.

At just more than $100, it's aimed just below the CM690 in price by about $40, but another $30 higher than the Centurion 5.

It's bang-smack in the middle of the road in features too, taking some elements of both cases and fusing them into one budget beast with an odd choice or two thrown in for good measure.

It's no Cosmos 1000 case by any means, but offers some decent value - so make sure you pick up a future copy of Atomic and jump into the gallery to decide for yourself.

Looks good, some good and not so good choices. However for just over a hundred bucks, it will be great for modding.

Nice case, but a tip. Make sure its new and no finger prints, maybe some better shots? Just an observation but I love the looks of this case =)

Make sure it's new? Not sure what you mean there...

Er, thanks for the tip? I purposefully left those fingerprints in ~to show~ just how print-ey it gets, and the case was brand-spanking-just-pulled-out-of-the-box new. What was wrong with those shots? They showed everything that needed to be.

Dont u mean ...
"These aren't filtered, nor are they very good at keeping noise in."
otherwise a very moddable case ableit missing some features...
first thing would be to remove the shiny front i/o panel ...

index680i, just think of it as a good thing! Free fingerprints :D (customisable!) It's a whole new stimulus package. The shots look fine, or at the very least as to be expected from a compact digitool.
