Review: Cooler Master MasterBox 5t

Conclusion

Cooler Master is building on the foundations laid by the MasterBox 5 by introducing a restyled sibling dubbed the MasterBox 5t.

Fetching a £15 premium while sharing many of the same core features, the 5t's most important alteration is a revamped red-on-black aesthetic designed to appeal to gamers seeking a more aggressive stance.

The contrast in colour works well both inside and out, while the addition of a top vent and an integrated fan controller furthers the chassis' appeal. The end result, unsurprisingly, is a solid mid-tower effort, but gamer-grade aesthetics remain an acquired taste and while we appreciate having the choice, we aren't convinced the 5t has done enough to warrant a £75 price tag when the sleeker MasterBox 5 is practically just as good and available for under £60.

Bottom line: Cooler Master's MasterBox 5t covers most of the essentials, but you need to be infatuated with the design and colour scheme to consider it over the existing MasterBox 5.
