Bigbruin and High Tech Reviews have reviewed the Cooler Master Gladiator 600 mid-tower case.

Here's what they had to say:

  • Bigbruin:

    "After spending that last few weeks with the Cooler Master Gladiator 600 housing my main gaming system, I can say that my concerns about heat are most likely unjustified. The dual GPUs never falter in any of the games I’m currently playing. The case fans are quiet and I can’t honestly hear them over the video card fans. Since starting the testing of this case, I’ve swapped out the Prolimatech CPU cooler for a CoolIT Systems Domino ALC and have noticed a drop in CPU temperatures of 2-3 degrees.

    The overall weight of the case is reasonably low, as I was transporting my computer around a lot during the testing phase and it was rather manageable. The front mounted USB and headphone/microphone ports have come in quite handy. Over all, the Gladiator 600 is a great case."

  • High Tech Reviews:

    "No the CoolerMaster Gladiator 600 is not the case to end all cases, but it is a very decent case that you can pickup for less than $80.00 in most places. The sad part is unless you happen to have a very large junk box like I do, you could easily spend and additional $20.00 for the three fans to fill the openings on this case. That pushes the cost of the case closer to $100.00. While this may be a good case once the fans are all in place it misses the mark in its current state. Which regrettably having to say I can't recommend this case unless they happen to have the three extra fans laying around somewhere."

This seems like a decent overall mid-tower case. However those on a budget should also take a look at Cooler Master's Elite and Centurion models since they are all roughly in the same price range, but with different exterior designs.
