When I build a PC, I like it to look like a stylish little refrigerator, or possibly a mid-century speaker with wood paneling. But just because I don’t do the RGB-bedazzled, action-figures-behind-the-tempered-glass thing for myself doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it when I see it—and this new Cooler Master case might be perfect for such a build.
The Cooler Master MasterFrame360 isn’t exactly new. We spotted a version of it at Computex 2025, showing off PC guts from almost every angle. But Cooler Master is now selling a limited edition, pre-configured PC with a Ryzen 9800X3D and RTX 5080 setup, and according to a leak from Hardware & Co via VideoCardz, the company is preparing to sell the ATX case on its own very soon. That means it’s time to dust off your most impressive and most financially devastating Gundam showpiece and stick it right in that featured front compartment.
The case comes with a dedicated display area, RGB spotlights, and on the upgraded model, a 15-inch LCD screen backing. Cooler Master
The MasterFrame 360 will reportedly come in three flavors: the fully transparent “panorama” edition we saw at Computex, a “Stage Mirror” version with a more standard black enclosure, and a “Stage LCD” version with a big 15.6-inch screen backing the “stage” area. Whatever you’re showing off on that front shelf—I’m picturing Hatsune Miku with the LCD-bedecked version, specifically—it’ll be lit up by dedicated RGB spotlights. A transparent front panel appears to be optional if you need some extra space for, say, protruding plastic guns or wings.
Aside from the stage, it looks like a fairly standard case design, with an included GPU riser and a triple-slot area for dedicated vertical mounting. It can handle cards up to 430mm long.
Reportedly, pricing will be $200 USD for the transparent and mirror versions and $300 for the LCD-packing edition, with shipping planned for later this year… which should give you juuuuuuust enough time to finish up that MG Epyon EW Special Coating and track down all the matching Asus parts you can.
