Nice case, weak PSU. Don't by this case for the PSU buy it for the case. Nice airflow made better with replacement fans, (the 3 speed Antec's are very nice)Then use the leftover 120mm, and mount it on the un-knocked out 5 1/4'' bay cover holes. Just use 2 screws and it will line up with 2 holes. Then buy a nice Corsair PSU and your all set. I sent an e-mail to Cooler Master to find out what the side A/V hook-up's can be used for.... no reply yet... |

Bought one of these and the PS was dead. Returned unit and got another, PS was dead. The Centurion case is a really good case, but the PS is crap. I had $36+ sunk into shipping charges, so I had to keep the second one just so that I would have something to show for my money. These are factory seconds or something. It is obvious that they have not seen any quality checks. Conclusion - Buy the bare Centurion 5 case and get a different PS. (Total price of my case was $49.99 + $19 ship + $17 return ship + $36 new PS = $121.99; however, I do have a nice door stop shaped like a PS.) By the way, when I contacted Cooler Master about the power supply problems they told me that model was obsolete. |

Plenty of room in this case. Power supply only had 2 SATA adapters, OK for 2 hard drives, but some newer cd/dvd drives are also SATA. Case is durable, easy to use. Fit a Asus P5N-E SLI mobo well enough. The 3.5'' drive was a little tight, but overall I'm really happy with this case. My first build, so not much to compare to, but plenty of space to add more drives. Great Value for the price, case seems solid. Only had for about 2 weeks. |

This case is very solid. I've had the PSU running for a few days now, and it worked like a charm since the get go. There was PLENTY of room for everything and hardware was easy to install with the tooless system. The case is sleek looking, holds together nicely, and the ports on the front are really convenient! Even the stock fans have cool air pumping out the back of my machine! |

Ordered this case with some extras for a first time build on Tuesday and Thursday morning at 9:30 AM here cane UPS up the driveway. Got it in two days instead of three. Very inpressive Tiger! Overall for my first build it was relatively easy, but I had to go online to Coolermaster for the instructions which was weak. But it was easy to build, plently of room to get your hands in if you had to, and there is a good amount of air flow through the case. For my first time building, I'm very pleased, and am very impressed on the courtesy of the salesman, and the very fast shipping. I always buy here, because I know they will get it shipped superfast. Many thanks again Tiger Direct on your courteous staff and taking care of the customer. |

What You Should Know
|

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
