Cooler Master Mystique 631
Performance:
As always, we loaded up the case with various PC components to see how the installation process would go.

During the installation routine, we had not run into any troubles with the case. It was incredibly easy to work with and everything fit into place quite well.
Conclusion:
The Cooler Master Mystique 631 is certainly a terrific sub-$100 USD chassis. It has a very spacious interior for any components you may install now or later on in the future. It also boasts an interesting design with its wavy front panel. Unfortunately, when it comes to the features there really is not anything to differentiate it from the other chassis contenders, but it does have the slight advantage of coming with holes pre-drilled for an easier water cooling setup. If the Mystique 631 looks like something for your next system build, we have no objections when it comes to its offerings. Look for more Cooler Master Mystique cases to come out in the near future.
