With the MasterCase Pro 6 You'll get place for two 5.25" Drive bays (exposed). Who needs optical storage anyway? But let's examine the front panel and bezel a bit more up-close and personal first. The top lid can be taken out easily, it is secured with four magnets. You can see an indentation for your liquid cooling (or fan) needs as you can mount a 240mm / 280mm (max. 297mm radiator length) there.

The front panel is located weird. It is a hinge based on a rubber insert. You can easily hide your front panel IO, but once you have a USB thumbdrive in there, it just looks weird when opened up. I am not a fan of the style/look when opened up.

IO wise you will get two 3.0 ports with standard motherboard headers for audio in and outputs next to power on and reset. The power button has a power/on/off LED and all the way to the left you can see a small white HDD/SSD/Storage unit activity LED. Admittedly the USB ports are once again on the shy side. No fan control, no lighting control and only two USB connectors, which seems a little shy for a 169 euro costing chassis.

Here you can see the right side panel. It is a little flat/bland looking really. Behind it you'll be impressed. For example the chassis houses two 5.25" drives (*but you need to remove the front bezel to access them all the time. Overall there is plenty storage space really, drives wise 5.25" Drive Bays 2 (exposed), 5x 2.5"/3.5" Drive Bays  (combo) and 2x 2.5" Drive Bays for SSDs. We'll look at that more in-depth on next pages of course.

The front bezel is easy to take off, it is secured with four magnets. Above you can see the two optical storage spaces, everything however is still covered by a dust filter, which is easy to take out as well:

Once you pull the dust-filter/mesh at bottom side and it comes off, you can see the two front 140mm fans. Alternatively you could mount a radiator there up-to roughly 40 mm thick in 240 mm and 280 mm radiator sizes. Looking all the way down, that white thingy is an LED strip which in our case has some blue lit LEDs.
