Today we have the chance to look at a new and sexy all aluminum chassis from Cooler Master, the Mystique 631. This product has recently taken on a new name. It was previously known as the Wave Master II and our review sample is still carrying the original name. As with all the products we have looked at from Cooler Master their packaging is top notch, pretty much assuring a safe trip from the warehouse to our front door.

Nice looking case, I picked up a coolermaster wave master, not long ago, very similar design tho the mystique looks nicer, I can definitely second that con of brushed alu marking easy, heck i've nearly wrecked this one, haha, might have to pick this one up if i mark this anymore

Dead on Review with the pro's and con's. I really like mine(tho I got it in black so the blue LED fan adds some nice atmosphere and matchs the rest of my black/silver/blue LED gear)
I did find the fans a tad weak and since replaced the rear with an AC 12 and the front with a North Q SIlent Tornado(I was never a bells and whistles guy before but I grew attached to the blue LED and replaced it with another LED fan) It has a very understated look to it that I like alot and the USB ports on the top are very handy for plugging in my wheel or digi-cam.

Nice looking case (but a pain to keep clean), but I wouldn't spend £85 on a PSU-less case. Actually, I prefer my cases door and trim free, since I USE my drives, and I've never seen a door case that doesn't look stupid with the door open - well, maybe slide door.

Is THIS my ideal case?

I disagree... Doors are great and I love teh look of almost all the color master cases! And PSUless cases means you can choose your PSU! Thus better

I took the door off of mine for a day or 2. Tho I dont spend much time looking at it when I did it just looked plain, and sure its a small hassle to open it but it just looks so nice
