COOLER MASTER Centurion 590 RC-590-KKN1-GP Black SECC / ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

 

Has Cooler Master stopped making these cases?

 

Guess we might need to find an alternative for the wiki (either an alternative vendor or an alternative case).

Hopefully there will be a similar replacement from CM.

 

The options for 9 external 5.25" bays is limited.

 

or the Antec 300

 

but I have this one...(got it for $39.99 at the time)

 

Azza 910

 

Should note that it is supplied with (1) 4-in-3 cage

You can purchase additional cages from Azza

$4 w/o the fan, $8 w/LED fan plus $10 shipping cost in U.S

 

I did end up replacing the (noisy) top fan though with a Xigmatek fan. Can never have enough blue lights - right?

 

If the 590s are in short supply/discontinued...best deal is now at Amazon

Alright, I updated the wiki with the Amazon link for now.  I do hope cooler master comes out with something similar.

 

The Antec 300 forces you to use internal drives, which I don't like.  The Azza case you have looks fine.

 

My personal new favorite is the Antec Nine Hundred Two, however, that one isn't exactly a budget case.

Dang.  There are so few 9-bay (external 5.25") cases and the 590 was the most subtle design.  My local Microcenter still has a 590 in stock so check your local store if you've got one.  Seems to be a "local pickup only" item because it doesn't show up until you pick a store.

Azza 910

I had an Azza Solano 1000R that was very nice, but I sold it to downsize into something smaller.  I haven't found one I liked yet, so my unRAID server is in the nude - no case, just a motherboard on a box with a drive cage and a PSU plugged in!  I was going to work with Queeg to get work on a custom solution, but that Helios might just be perfect as is.  Have you had any other issues other than fan noise (not to get too OT)?

No other issues.  Fit, ease of installation, style and finish was excellent. I am very satisfied even with the bad 140mm top fan. Probably could do a little more in regards to cable management, but not bad.

Sounds similar to my experience with the Solano.  Thanks for the feedback. 

I'm currently using a Antec 900 (the original version) for my Unraid box (with 3 of the Supermicro 5-in-3 cages, one's empty at the moment tho, lol).  I'm also using one for my main desktop PC/gaming rig, nad it works great (aside from being a huge case, lol).  I also noticed that the Antec cases didn't appear to show up on that search on my system (from the initial post in this thread).

 

Newegg is not the only vendor, try Amazon!

 

I wanted to purchase more Thermaltake A2309 3 bay HDD coolers, Newegg doesn't sell them anymore, but Amazon does.

 

I checked Amazon for the CM 590, and it is still for sale.

I checked Amazon for the CM 590, and it is still for sale.

 

They have a grand total of 4 available from 4 vendors, 3 of whom want over $27 for shipping.  Anyone who's set on buying a CM 590 should track one down and buy it now.

Also, the Cooler Master Store has them refurbished for $49.99.  UPS shipping will vary based on your location, but you do have the option of ground, 3-day or 2-day.  FWIW, I have read good things about their refurbished units in the past.

I can't imagine the 590 no longer being sold. I believe Newegg is either waiting for more to arrive or they are stockpiling in preparation for a big sale since its that time of the year. I've dealt with a lot of cases and the 590 is by far the best one to build in. Only you got to tape off all the extra vents to make use of the filtered bezel.

According to this it is being replaced by the 690 Advanced.

There must be some sort of confusion? Because I have a standard 690... Its crap compared to the 590. I would never again buy it or the so called advance version.

I don't see how the 690 advance can be called a replacement when it will cost more.

 

 

Good news everybody!

 

OUT OF STOCK. ETA: 12/06/2010.

That's a relief...still, I wonder if this is the beginning of the end.

The 590 is too popular to simply be discontinued. Its got more reviews than both 690's combined.

 

 

I'm glad to hear that newegg will have more of these soon.  Did Coolermaster decide not to discontinue this case?  I thought I remembered someone saying it was no longer available for purchase on the coolermaster website but it seems that it is now.

I thought I read that too.  Maybe too many complaints caused them to re-think the decision to discontinue.

I know I was one who complained to them.....the poor guy on the other end of the chat had to take the hit for them...lol

 

Here's to hoping it sticks around longer.....oh and Amazon bringing back their $60 price....lol!!!!
