Cooler Master USP 100 Black ATX Mid Tower Casing

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cooler Master brings the USP 100 to the table, which is built mostly from steel with a plastic and mesh front bezel. Stepping away from all black, the USP 100 comes with all the mesh painted red in the front bezel, and also has two red vents at the bottom. The chassis will house both mATX and ATX motherboards inside of this nineteen-by-twenty-inch box. Behind the front bezel, four bays have removable mesh panels to allow for optical devices. Hidden underneath, you will find room for up to six hard drives, and they even made room for a floppy drive. In the rear, the USP 100 offers seven expansion slots to allow for Crossfire or SLI and still have room for a NIC or sound card.

CoolerMaster's USP 100 is a mid-tower with black front mesh and a blue LED fan on the front. With superior airflow, the design supports up to 4 fans to fully take advantage of the mesh front panel. It also includes a 500-watt PSU installed at the base. The top-mounted I/O panel includes 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x Mic, and 1 x Audio (supports HD).

Cooling inside this chassis, well, it leaves a little to be desired, but costs get cut somewhere, and here is where in the USP 100. Cooler Master does ship the chassis with a 120mm red LED fan to act as the intake, behind the front bezel. From there, it is up to you. Options for placement are one in the bottom, one in the rear, and one in the door panel. Something I do like about the way it is designed, though, is what fans can fit. Each of the three optional positions for fans will allow for 80mm, 90mm, and 120mm fans to be mounted. This means you may be able to use a couple of fans you have lying around, and you may not need to incur more cost in the overall price to get superior airflow.
