Fully Custom MasterCase from Cooler Master! - CES 2016

The CES 2016 coverage from Linus Tech Tips focuses on Cooler Master and its ongoing push toward modular PC cases through the MasterCase family. The video opens in the Cooler Master Suite where the team highlights a new $130 air cooler and explains its performance, noting it can compete with high end all in one liquid coolers. A key feature they emphasize is the redesigned bottom plate that integrates four heat pipes directly into a vapor chamber, which Cooler Master calls a 3D Vapor chamber. The discussion moves to the maker philosophy behind MasterCase, showcasing the modularity that allows swappable shrouds, top plates, and various panel options to tailor airflow and aesthetics. The host demonstrates how accessories like a lightweight airflow duct and a simple cable guide can address practical build challenges, such as PCIe power port clearance and cable management. They also reveal new accessories and market ideas aimed at extending the life of older MasterCase models, including a future marketplace for modders to design, produce, and sell custom components through Cooler Master. The segment concludes with a tour of new cool features such as a tempered glass side panel with a lock, a magnetic top cover, and a front panel that can be detached for different airflow needs, illustrating Cooler Master’s commitment to making the MasterCase a flexible platform for enthusiasts. The video ends by pointing viewers to Squarespace for CES coverage and inviting them to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips to catch all upcoming CES content while highlighting the ongoing commitment to modular upgrades and community-driven accessory development.
