The Cooler Master Centurion 6 aims to offer a good, solid, and down-to-earth feature set at a good price. That has always been at the core of the Centurion line. The use of aluminum was, on top of that, also part of its gene pool. Cooler Master has, as times change, decided to limit the use of the material while still managing to create a solid case with all the features that count. The biggest question mark is raised when looking at the number of hard drive rails, but the retail cases should have a sufficient number right out of the box, so there is no reason to deduct the Centurion 6 any points for the lack thereof. That leaves the weak ODD locks as the only real gripe with this chassis. It does everything you would expect from such a case and does so well—at a good and affordable price tag.

Its ability to hold pretty much any type of dual 120 or 140 mm radiator is probably the most extraordinary feature of the Centurion 6, so go for it if you like its look and price. There is little reason to regret such a purchase—just don't expect to see a re-invention of the wheel after examining it closely.
