Cooler Master MasterBox 540
Striking design, but at a cost
It might have a tempered glass window, but the MasterBox 540 needs more fresh air.
COOLER MASTER is no stranger to the case market, offering an extensive line-up to suit every scenario and budget. The Cooler Master MasterBox 540 adds yet another product to the MasterBox series, the company’s website now listing a total of 64—yes, 64—MasterBox options.
The MasterBox 540 is marketed as “Gaming in a New Light,” a reference to the aRGB backlit front panel that takes its inspiration from automotive lighting. Given its experience in the case market, Cooler Master seems to have taken something of a gamble here and pinned its hopes on people liking the front panel backlit design. It’s either a really risky or a really clever decision on Cooler Master’s part, and it’s refreshing to see a manufacturer not being scared of trying something new.
