The Cooler Master MasterFrame 360 Panorama case is a niche mid-tower designed for PC builders who collect action figures and figurines. It was reviewed by Bob Buskirk on July 7, 2026, and received a final score of 7/10 and was priced at $269.99.
The case has specific dimensions of 549 x 291 x 581mm.
A standout feature of the design is its ability to display PC builds alongside collectibles. It features a dedicated “Stage” section up front, which is located behind a removable curved glass panel. This stage is sized for a figure measuring up to 360 x 220 x 118mm and is illuminated by two built-in spotlights.
The case design incorporates extensive glass panels, featuring glass on three sides: the front, one side panel, and the opposite side panel, providing a view into the build with a slight tint.
Internally, a central aluminum column serves as the mounting point for the motherboard, GPU, and cooling components. This setup allows for modular top/bottom cooling brackets supporting various fan sizes.
The case supports various internal components, including Mini-ITX, mATX, and ATX motherboards with necessary back-connect cutouts. It accommodates GPUs up to 430mm with a built-in support bracket, along with support for 2x 2.5″ SSDs or one 3.5″ drive.
Power supply unit (PSU) support includes full ATX PSUs up to 210mm mounted vertically.
Cable management covers are included to hide the wiring behind the glass rear panel.
The case supports a wide range of cooling configurations, allowing for up to 12 fans in total, including options such as 6x 120mm, 2x140mm, 2x180mm, or 2x200mm fans. It also provides radiator support up to 360mm on each side.
Front I/O configuration includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB4 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, and a combo audio jack.
Key limitations were noted regarding component clearance and design constraints. The CPU cooler height is capped at just 45mm, limiting builders to low-profile air coolers or AIOs.
Graphics cards must be mounted vertically using the included PCIe riser. The “Stage” height is not adjustable, meaning shorter figurines may appear lost in the display area.
Other limitations included issues with spotlight cable length: the ARGB cables did not reach down to the reviewer’s motherboard header, making them only usable if a specific ARGB connector was present near the top.
The review tested the case with a Ryzen 5 9600X / RTX 5070 OC / 48GB DDR5 test bench, including measurements of idle/load temperature and noise via AIDA64 and 3DMark stress testing.
Pros noted for the case include fitting large figurines, sturdy MasterFrame build quality, tool-free panel removal, spotlight lighting, cable management covers, and the included PCIe riser.
Cons identified were the lack of included fans, potential airflow constraints in the enclosed column layout for the PSU and GPU, the limited CPU cooler clearance, non-adjustable Stage height, and the spotlight cable issue.
In conclusion, the case is positioned as a novel solution for collectors willing to accept trade-offs regarding cooling and clearance, priced at $269.99 with no included fans.
