Description

Why is this new PC case a hit in Japan? The Cooler Master MasterBox CM695 isn't just a throwback; it's a response to Japan's enduring love for physical media. Featuring a rare optical drive bay and ample space for hard drives, this case caters to users upgrading to Windows 11 who still rely on discs. It blends vintage aesthetics with modern functionality, offering a fast USB-C port and options for a solid or tempered glass side panel. While not expected to be a blockbuster, the CM695 resonates with enthusiasts who value tradition and the convenience of internal drives over cloud storage.
