Several weeks ago we introduced you to one of Cooler Master’s new enclosures, the entry-level Centurion case. In this review we will take an in-depth look at another new Cooler Master case, the elegant Wave Master. For years Cooler Master has been known as the premier vendor for high quality aluminum PC enclosures, and with the Wave Master they raise the aesthetics bar even higher.
