Today I got my Full aluminium Black Coolermaster Case, for under £40 including delivery, from CCL in Bradford, really nice people too. I love the sexy design, it is really simple, and contemprary. It is fully tool free, and has 5 5.25 bays (usually cases in the range have 4) and a single 3.5 bay, which fits a nice black FDD + Card reader in one. One surprise was switchning it on and finding they had fitted 2 12cm coolermaster blue neon fans, which really looked amazing, with an intel air duct too. I will even add, that the power button is amazingly cool, and definatly not tacky in any way. The Build is amazing, and the screw driver-less/tool less design is quite indespensible. I found the case when searching for an aluminuium case, with 5 bays, and the plainiest black accessible dirves I could find.
Well, I found an Akasa that mached that for £90, but this is more than enough, full aluminium, and tool less with coolermaster fans really does a great job. The Fans are 19db, too making for a quiet environment; and It comes from the reputable make CoolerMaster, and in my opinion, one of the best design cases ever, with accessable drives at the front unlike some. I got the non-window verson (I don't really like windows!), and I love the front mesh too.
It has no PSU (I already have a 400w+ Coolermaster Power) .
It has a duct on its side panel, following Intel specification for newer Pentium 4-based PCs.
It comes, however, with 2 120-mm fans that glow blue when the system is turned on. The front fan helps cooling hard disk drive installed in the two internal 3" bays installed right in front of it. (Tooless)

More Information: http://www.coolermaster.com Average price in the US*: USD 69.00.
Well, heres my summary... It is a good intermediate solution for those without the budget to go straight to an all-aluminum case.
Centurion 534 has a very conservative design. What is different on it is the position of its frontal air intakes, located at the junction of the front of the case with its side.
Centurion 534 is a 5-bay ATX case (five 5 bays, one 3 bay plus three internal 3 bays). One the case frontal panel you will find one mic input, one headphone output, two USB ports and, what is really cool, one Firewire port, traditionally a not so common feature)
