    dont like the look of it personally but if it's as well built as my WaveMaster is then it's a bargain.

    I'd go for it if it was from a different company.

    PLEASE let's not turn this into another OCUK bashing - we all have our opinions, and I'm sure many people know mine, but we won't start that again.

    Destroyer, I reckon get it - I would be very tempted if I was looking for a case. I've read reviews on these and seen many pictures, and it all looks very nice!
    Only thing that holds me back is no window, but then, that's what I like and I'm sure you can get one from somewhere for not too much.

    really, the case looks nice but isn't that flexible to work with. the quality of the metal is pretty poor and the general internal finish is poor. I would never window a centurion because it just looks really ugly internally, even if you hide the cables. You would need to paint the inside at the very least but i would actually add either ally sheets or perspex to hide the awful metalwork at the front end of the case.

    Amen to that.
    Lovely case - sleek, sturdy, well made and good cooling.

    It has a 120mm fan at the front and comes with an 80mm fan at rear. If you are so inclined (as I was) you can just about mod the back to fit another 120mm there.
    There is also a vent on the top!
    2 x USB, audio, Mic and firewire on front.
    Dust filter on front to!!

    If you hadn't guesed I really like the case!!

    The Centurion 5, as stated above, is an excellent case. It features screw-less design and has foam behind the mesh-metal front, to stop dust getting in. I've had it about a year, and have always been happy with it

    I have it in black.

    I have the centurian 5 - it's ok - good looking (IMO) and good value, with some nice ideas and tool-lessish stuff. But the build quality is poor and the instructions are worse than useless.

    I can't say I found the build quality poor, seems very good to me, compared to many cheaper cases.

    yer i had a centurion i now have a wavemaster which is obv far better coz its a 100 quid case but the centurion is fine tbh true its not beutifull but the cooling is good there i plenty of space and lots of fan mounts its a very good airflow case and for your budget you wont get one that has better probably and for 30 quid its well worth it plus has led fans theyu look kinda cool.

    and who needs instructions
    it doesnt have removable trays and such so its the same as any other case surley?
    i have never used case instructions as all the info u need for cables and such in is in the mobo book imo

    Maybe I got a bad one then, but I have a faulty drive rail, the PSU holes aren't correctly placed and the side of the case does not fit very well, and it's a pain to get the front cover off, but that's probably by design rather than poor quality.

    Still a great case for the money, just not up to the build quality of my last computer (dell).
