Features The Cooler
Master Wavemaster case has
actually been around awhile now. Made entirely of aluminum with
excellent workmanship and design it is everything you could possibly
want in a mid-tower case design.
Brilliant design and a focus on craftsmanship come
with the Wavemaster. The blue finish allows it to stand out as a limited
edition Wavemaster.
Looking at the front of the case reveals a smooth
design free of obstructions. The only thing you can really see other
than the finish of course are the reset and power buttons.
The Cooler Master keeps its cool from a rear 80mm
exhaust and 2 80mm front intake fans. The air to the front fans is
vented through this area.
A glance at the rear of
the Wavemaster LE. Notice the number of thumbscrews. Although not a
tool-less case, the only thing you'll need is a screwdriver. Notice also
the ATX PSU removable carriage. Don't even try to attempt to install
your power supply through the inside of the case, as it slides out as
part of the this carriage instead. the 80mm rear exhaust fan is evident
here.
Moving back to the
front, a magnetized front door conceals four external 5 1/4in bays and
the floppy bay. Allen head screws give it an aircraft quality look. The
aluminum is thick on the door construction, and the door is held on by a
metal shaft that sits in some nylon bushings.
Taking our trusty Allen wrench
and a Phillips screwdriver, we took off the front fascia to reveal the
front case fans. The construction of this case is unbelievably simple.
Notice that the fans receive cold air from very tiny holes on the front
panel. We took a dremel to this first thing. The blue LED's and the fans
are not 3 pin but four pin Molex which should help in compatibility. Too
many three pin fans on your motherboard can take up much needed voltage
for your memory, CPU, video card, etc.
