Introduction

I would like to thank MSI for supplying the review sample.

MSI has a new flagship PC case and the MEG Maestro 900R isn't just a lavish home for a high-end PC. It's designed for true enthusiasts with a built-in removable test bench as well as all the usual modern trimmings you'd expect from an ultra high-end case.



Rather than being clunky and time-consuming to work with, its design makes it simple and tasks such as rotating the motherboard to up to four different angles take seconds. There are copious amounts of beautifully-finished aluminium and glass, and as you'd expect, water-cooling support is exceptional. Its price tag is also eyebrow-raising, so let's see if the MEG Maestro 900R should be on your shortlist if you just happen to have $700 spare for a PC case.

Specifications

Packaging

The gross weight of the cardboard box is close to 40 kg, so it isn't to be underestimated, especially with its enormous bulk making it additionally tricky to lift or move around. Both sides feature high-resolution images of the case from two angles, while the ends feature additional close-up images of various features with one end offering specifications too.




The upper and lower cardboard sections are held together with reusable plastic latches. The top panel is separated from the case and located in the roof and is well-padded. Large foam end pieces secure and protect the case, which is additionally covered by an MSI MEG-branded material bag. Additional foam inserts are located against the larger side glass panel.


Accessories are located inside a large box located inside the chassis. These include a GPU riser cable, cable ties, Velcro ties, gloves to prevent fingerprints and a large compartmentalized screw box. Also in the box are PCI expansion slot covers, power and reset buttons, feet and carry handles for the case's test bench mode and various spare screws and clips.
