The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is a new PC chassis engineered to provide builders with expanded options through its open-frame, full-tower design. As premium cases go, the price is on the higher side, but by too much of a margin at €199. However, it can be had for €174 directly from Cooler Master. However, at least for now, availability is limited to Europe. The MasterFrame 600 is based on Cooler Master’s FreeForm 2.0 series platform, which will encompass multiple products designed to further expand build customization options.
“The MasterFrame 600 demonstrates our commitment to delivering modular, adaptable, and personalized technology solutions, It empowers users to build powerful systems uniquely suited to their individual preferences and performance needs.”
Matteo Stracciari, Cooler Master General Manager
Owners of even the most behemoth-sized graphics cards needn’t worry about having enough clearance, as the MasterFrame 600 is capable of fitting cards up to 485mm in length. Cooling is a breeze with options to install up to 2x 420mm radiators or 11x fans via front, top, bottom, and side mounting areas. Cooler Master has said that it will also provide downloadable files to assist builders with multiple configuration layouts.
Features (from press release via Business Wire):
- Supports up to 11 fans and radiators up to 420mm for maximum cooling efficiency
- Integrated GPU support bracket to prevent sag and maintain system integrity
- Fully open-source design with downloadable layout files and modder-friendly documentation
- Built with FreeForm 2.0 for unmatched modularity and creative flexibility
- Durable steel and aluminum construction built to withstand heavy use and time
Panels for the MasterFrame 600 can easily be removed via a tool-free design to give quick access to every component in the system. In addition, similar to a number of other PC cases released in recent years, Cooler Master is offering swappable panels providing further aesthetic customizations. These, depending on regional availability, include panels with ebony, eucalyptus, grey oak, stone veneer, and walnut styles. Frames can be had in black or silver, are made of aluminum with a glass side panel, and support from Mini-ITX up to E-ATX motherboard form factors. Four cooling fans are included, but their types depend on the frame color chosen.
“The MasterFrame 600 isn’t just about building a PC, it’s about crafting a vision.”

I have been eyeing Coolermaxster cases for a while now but when I built my current PC I did not find one suiting my needs, maybe next time.
This would be on my shortlist if I was still doing full-size cases but the Lian Li mATX works perfectly, or close enough for what I'm currently doing.
Now available in the U.S.

Reminds me of the old Erector sets from the 1970's.
I totally agree. The more they strip away non-removable internal parts and leave the frame, the more these kinds of things start to look like that. Been thinking that for a while now, with various newer cases. Not a bad thing by any means, though. Basically, just give us a frame with removable mesh around as much as possible for air flow and a ton of mounting options. For the most part, that's what the Lian Li mATX is, and I remember thinking the same once I had everything torn apart before building into it.
Glad I'm not the only one..lol. Great older minds think alike..:)
Watched KitGuru's review, and yeah the case isn't impressive at all IMO.
Yep, I rarely disagree with Leo, and even when I do, it's usually on something trivial, so if he doesn't like, or has mixed feelings about, something, there's normally a good reason for it.
Agree
