From a young age, I have always been interested in challenging myself at different tasks, whether it be playing a musical instrument like the piano, or learning how to type on the keyboard. For whatever reason, if a task requires learning with your hands, I am probably the first one on the scene. Although I knew academics is an important aspect in my educational growth, I hated going to school. Yes, I learned how to read, write, have fun and be sociable. However, soon enough, I found I was always bored when the teacher or professor was teaching theoretical knowledge. History? Boring. Calculus? Easy. Philosophy? Cool story, bro. This is not to say that I was particularly good (or not) in any one of those subjects, but because most of the concepts did not really stick in my head by reading it in the textbook or communicating it to me in person. My way of learning was to use the concept in real life application. Logically, this has propagated into many aspects of my life, and while attending CES earlier this year with my colleague Aaron Lai, a part of me had an idea that many of the companies will be coming out with the "bigger and better" product. As we met up with a representative from Cooler Master and had him walk us through all the new products they had to offer this year, I thought to myself, "Every product here looks the same as the last company we visited." However, rather than letting the negative thoughts ruin the rest of the conference, I told myself I would talk to Alfredo Barroso, our PR representative, and ask him for a Cooler Master MasterCase 5 unit to play around with. "No problem," he said. "I will get on it right away and have a unit sent over immediately." Great, I thought. Now I can get my hands on it to see if it is truly worth the money. Sitting down for the past month or so at APH Networks, we have put the MasterCase 5 to the test. Read on to see what we have found!
