So a lot of people today with the exact same situation. I can nevertheless really feel the comradary even if the misshaped husk is all I have left of this point. Its a small smaller for these days's video cards. LIKE A BRICK Property...

Situation is solid. No flimsy side or top rated panels. Gives great circulation due to the front panel being constructed mainly of a metal mesh-like material, and the quantity of fan bays. Lots of space as nicely. Following 3 years, my only complaints are minor ones. The only thing that bothers me on mine are the screwless locks for the internal drives. They do operate, but I don't feel that they hold anywhere close to as securely as screws, and some of mine are wearing so they barely hold at all. It's seriously not considerably of a hassle to just eliminate them and use screws when it comes to that point though. For the reasonably low-cost cost that this case is, I would buy it more than and more than again!

Fantastic case at a wonderful price on specific such as free shipping As this is a backup Computer i bought this and other elements piece meal on particular or with rebates so components have been arriving for a couple of weeks on at a time. Last came to nowadays and I unpacked the situation only to locate the from screen panels bent in. I then inspected the shipping box to appear for damage and saw that the box had been double taped and that the shipping label was from the RMA warehouse. Apparently the situation had been returned, possibly for the bent panels and then sent back to me at the special marked down price tag, only difficulty is that the specific did not say "recertified" or previously RMA'd..it stated new so that's what I even though I would get. Thankfully I was capable to eliminate the situation front and push the panels back in place great sufficient for my requirements but it tends to make me wonder about my other components. Just wish Newegg let me know what I was buying ahead of I purchased it. Disappointing... The concern isn't that large a deal but it makes me (and other individuals) loose confidence in Newegg. I guess Newegg specials aren't so specific soon after all.

Simple installation, simple cable tucking in the five.25" drive bays, speaker integrated, both fans integrated are quiet enough. Sleek searching case and features are quickly accessible. Front fan is a tad loud @ 1900� RPM. Use fan manage to preserve it silent/quiet. I genuinely like it for simple builds. Plenty of space and uncomplicated tool-less installation.

- - To the guy who mentioned his motherboard didnt fit effectively, I place a ASUS M4 board in it with a 4770 card, 500 w power supply, two CD drives, Tricky Drive, 4 stick of ram, and I was able to squeeze four fans in. oh and I am placing in one more tricky drive and a card reader. It has plenty of space.

Good case. Very good airflow, a lot of room, good layout. The front finish jacks and USBs are incredibly convenient. Wonderful bang for the buck. None. This is my second 1. Passed the initially one particular on to my son. I'd advise it to everyone.

This is an all screwless design as soon as you get the motherboard/PSU in. If you favor to screw in your add-on cards the option is there. The case ships with a big and quiet fan. It appears like the front fan is unnecessary and just creates added noise. I only have a single HDD so I unplugged it.The clips that hold in add-on cards down are Genuinely low cost. The initial thing I did was break a single.The screw holes for the motherboard weren't rather in the appropriate spot, which made installing it type of a discomfort. This is genuinely a excellent design. It's plain and presents everything you could want in a โ case. I'd not only advise it to other people but purchase it once again myself.

Good Hunting on the outside - spacious and nicely laid out on the inside.All internal cables are neatly completed, appropriately marked, and lengthy enough to reach exactly where they are necessary.Fit and finish as great as any. Genuinely, really horrible instructions. A handful of sharp edges. Did I mention these seriously, really horrible instructions. It took some time to figure out that optical drives can only be appropriately mounted with the front panel installed. Of course this indicates that the front panel then can not be removed without having initially removing all optical drives. Odd, that.

Comment:
Incredibly great airflow. Beautifully uncomplicated design. Simple to install drives. It is a quite excellent situation general. The power button doesn't seem to be very sturdy or solid. It wobbbles. The parts that makse drives uncomplicated to install is produced out of plastic. I'm not sure how long they will final, specifically if your continuously inside your case for whatever reason.

I have had this case for practically three years, and it has served effectively.-Simple installation of drives in drive bays, do not need screws, and appears to hold drives great. I don't have to get my tools out.-Although the tool-no cost latches for the PCI card slots can be flimsy, I determine not to post it as a con due to the fact it nonetheless provides screw holes anyways if you want "classic" card security. Can't complain about that.-Each 80mm front fan and rear 120mm fans nevertheless perform.-the inside "front grill" of the case consists of dust-filtering material. While it seems like a con that it collects dust fairly swiftly, it's fantastic to know that it's considerably much less dust inside my laptop or computer. Easier to clean them out than my internal laptop or computer elements. -Dust tends to collect a bit around the hard-drive bay in spite of the 80mm fan, but not a whole lot. May possibly get a new and superior fan anyways, which may possibly support.-With dual SLI'd MSI Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT cards installed on my Mobo, it seems to block some of my tough-drive bays mainly because of their length. Nonetheless, don't really require it as I only have two difficult drives. -Just be certain to clean the dust from the front panels often. It helps preserve dust out, but too considerably dust would preserve airflow from coming in.-I program on replacing the side air duct on my situation with a fan (I think it's 80mm size), as the duct doesn't seem to line up with my CPU and its fan.

Not terribly fancy but effectively produced and effectively believed out. the holes for screwing in PCI/PCIe/AGP cards are not threaded. If the clip is insufficient, you have to force a screw into these holes to thread them, which is annoying.

I have utilized this case for a year or two and it has worked out fairly good. I like the front mesh and I have no complaints about the airflow. The tooless style is good even though for my video card the tabs won't snap down enough for me to not secure it with a screw.It is also relatively light and I can appreciate it with the occasional LAN I take it to. Slight con in that it is "just" big adequate to hold my new GTX260 I bought. I had to get creative to get it in there and not have it bump against the tricky drive cables. Also to use any soon after marketplace cooling fans you will have to eliminate their funnel that is inside. Its just four screws and it fits fine with the stock cooler. A tiny inconvenience is getting rid of the front panel to remove the situation covers for the optical drives. Only have to do it the moment commonly but worth mentioning.I would definitely contemplate purchasing this once again on my next machine develop.

Good and sturdy one of the front usb broke but it was in all probability my fault because it looks bent and the pins are messed up.

Really elegant, easy appear -- I really like the black mesh and silver finish. Front panel has audio and mic jacks, plus two USB and a FireWire port. Metal construction feels really solid, and energy/reset buttons are quality. A lot of space, also, and circulation is great. Included 120mm exhaust and 80mm intake fans are incredibly quiet. A tiny roundabout to take away the panel from five.25" bay to set up an optical drive. I like that this doesn't have a case window on the side; it looks much more skilled in a small business setting.

Comment:
structure, subtle/clean appearance, couple of sharp edges but overall fantastic good quality. insanely bright difficult drive led lights up room; looks like strobe, front fan wire also short to plug into mobo, a tiny high-priced, all combine for -1 egg ships in its original packaging only; mine was fine but shipping damage danger appears high. finish may be slightly prone to scratching and smudges quickly. front cover sticks up above the rest of the case about 1ቬ" or less. however, would acquire once more.

Looks nice (rare these days), great construct good quality, uncomplicated to function on, nice selection of front panel ports, and decent airflow style. Likes to accumulate dust on the front panel, where the air intake is. The toolless design isn't a major selling point for me. I'd actually find it a little far more satisfying if the hard drives had been secured by screws, for instance. I don't mind pulling out a philips head screwdriver for a little much more peace of thoughts. On the other hand, every thing in this case has been rock strong for a couple years now, so I guess it's undertaking its job.

Comment:
This case has been around for years, and I've used it on a couple of builds. If you want a solid, uncomplicated, economical case that's easy on the eyes, this is the a single you want. None worth mentioning. It's not for water cooling or high finish hardware. But those aren't cons. It's the toyota camry of laptop or computer cases. Unless you have extremely specialized wants (see cons) it's impossible to go incorrect with this case.

Comment:
This case is Great! I have owned this case for more than two years, and the fans are nevertheless working! silently! I have upgraded my hardware 2 instances whilst owning this case. My temps are Generally between 25c and 35c. Highly advocate this case. The power LED light is too bright, so I applied electrical tape to cover it at night. lol Acquire IT!

Comment:
Simple, appealing, and practical. A lot of expansion bays and a nice front panel. None I own two of these. The initially one I purchased back in 2005, so when I went to upgrade, I was pleased to see Coolermaster nevertheless offered this model. I could by no means be happier with this case.

Comment:
I have had one for four years. It is a great case and uncomplicated to perform with. The 120 mm exhaust fan went out in about a year. My son also bought one particular at the same time as I, but never applied it. Just built yet another sysem utilizing his case that had by no means been employed. Soon after a couple of weeks the power switch went out. I am making use of the reset button and have tried to get a new power switch from Cooler Master. They have a ridiculous form to fill out to request a part. I got an email three weeks ago saying my request was under review. WOWBelow is the starting of the e mail, lots of gibberish following this. Dear Valued Customer,Your Element Request has been submitted and is now under pending critique.Your Part Request quantity is USPR00XXXXX. And your Retrieval number is RXXXX. Please do not loose these numbers as you will want them to check your Part Request status.

Considerably much more sturdy than a budget caseOptical and Tough Drive tooless clamps operate considerably superior than expected. Tooless expansion card clamps are worthless. Throw them away and use a screw to secure the card.No space between MB tray and CD Rom tray for cable management

Comment:
I purchased this case for a create I was undertaking. The tool totally free isnt that specific to me, I like employing screws and what not. The tool totally free program on this case operates, and is sturdy, but in my opinion, nothing beats bolting down. The directions are worthless. Truly, all I learned by seeking at them is how to free of charge up the PCI slot covers and opening the front of the case.

Comment:
Pleanty of space for what I want to put in it. Toolless design is superior. Poor ventilation, I have to use it with the side pannel removed most of the year.
