If you are a member of the PC master race, and you are looking for a new budget chassis, you should check out this review of the Cooler Master Masterbox 5 at LanOC today. Overall, this is a very positive review with the reviewer giving it a "Top Honors" award.

Today I’m checking out the Masterbox 5 and a quick look at the feature list shows that Cooler Master has doubled down on the full customization of their Mastercase line of cases and brought similar features into their more budget friendly cases. At just under $70, the Masterbox 5 is at the price people are looking for, so today I’m going to dive in and find out if it’s an easy case to work in, find out if the customization is all its hyped up to be, and see if it’s a quality case that will hold up to years of abuse.
 
Not bad - I actually like this case better than the MasterCase 5. I like the front-to-back airflow complimented by the bottom HDD cage.

I do wish Fractal had some sort of bottom cage implementation in the Define S, as it would be more elegant than what I'm doing now in the Fractal 5 (remove 5.25, install cage at top).
Still hoping the Fractal Define S2 (or whatever they call it) addresses it. For now, the 5 is plenty though.
