INTRODUCTION:
Founded over a decade ago, CoolerMaster has one
main mission: “… providing the industry's
best thermal solutions. Since its establishment
a decade ago, the company has remained faithful
to this mission, emerging as a world leader in
products and services for companies dealing with
devices where heat issues must be resolved.”
(Quoted from the official website’s mission
statement.)
Recently,
I was asked to pick up some discontinued PCs from
a local law firm. These PCs dated back to the
days of the Pentium II. I was surprised to see
that the CPU cooling fans used were CoolerMaster
brand. This gives us an idea of just how long
they’ve been around and how popular they
are.
CoolerMaster
manufactures many different products to help in
the task of keeping things cool: CPU coolers,
VGA coolers, and well-vented PC cases are just
a few of them.
COOLERMASTER
MYSTIQUE 632:
Today,
we want to take a look at one of the most recently
developed cases: The CoolerMaster Mystique 632.
The case arrived in its original box and was well
protected by Styrofoam packing.
Once
the box was opened and the case removed from the
Styrofoam, I was greeted with a sleek black case
with a unique design I’d never seen before:
