COOLER MASTER ELITE 335 RC-335-KKN1-GP Black Computer Case

Comment:
Low-cost, easy and good looking. I constructed an AMD system wor my wife's cousin and could not be more pleased with the characteristics of this case. The method built was a simple system making use of a MSI micro atx MOBO with onboard video and this case is perfect for just this kind of program. Will acquire once more when I upgrade wife and little ones computers NONE! I wouldn't use for a really serious gamer or video editing station, but for a casual use/light duty gamer it is great. Oh yeah,...did I mention it looks very good too? It does!

This case is great, it appears solid, excellent airflow and stays cool, specialist design and style with a blue LED energy button that impresses, and extremely spacious for effortless installation.The Tool Free mechanical style performs good, but Cooler Master does contain added screws for these who want to use them. The manual was clearly aimed for those seasoned with constructing computer systems. Specifics and guidelines had been a little sketchy on crucial components, such as how to effectively take away the expansion ports for the front shield or even how to properly replace the front shield panel.Mainly because of these unclear guidelines I feared that I might harm the front shield panel. The manual also neglected to mention that I'd have to use the tool-cost-free mechanics or screws on both sides of the External/Internal Drive slots, but I suppose common sense must have told me to safe the really hard drive and optical drive from each sides. I ultimately convinced my parents to replace their 6 year old Dell Dimension 3000 fossil with a Celeron processor, I'm nevertheless amazed they managed to somehow cope with that point, now with this new desktop I have some thing that is energy efficient and simple to upgrade (if required) in the future:Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380WAMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHzWestern Digital Caviar Green 640GB ASUS M4N68T-M AM3 NVIDIA Geforce 7025/nForce 630a Micro ATXKingston 4GB ƒ x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3LG 22X DVD BurnerOther folks described that the tool-absolutely free mechanics are "cheap" and "break effortless" but I wonder what specifically these guys are doing to break these, they twist easy with a gentle twist.

it's a excellent solid case. front metal panels for cd/dvd drives is a bit annoying to punch out.

This is a wonderful case for a price range build with the minimalist in thoughts. The drive fasteners operate remarkable. The case covers to feel flimsy when taken apart so just be cautious when handling it so not to warp it too a lot. Origami exhibit is out of the query right here.Also not a fan of the expansion card fastener. Doesn't hold my video and sound card in location especially effectively so I opted to use the screws. All round this is a decent case and if you're just needing anything to property your parts and leave you a tiny bit of space to play with then this will suit your purposes. I've utilized improved instances in the exact same price variety, but I'm not disappointed either.For these who use the Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler, you may have a little difficulty fanagling (I enjoy that word) the energy provide in and out at will, but it can be accomplished.

Fairly nice looks, plenty of room, the tool much less program is improved more than previous versions. The PCI slot set-up is... distinct, far better than the small plastic clips, I nevertheless favor screws, but if your making use of this for a test sled then it should really function OK. Nothing worth dropping an egg over. Side panels look to be about 5mm too long, (a pretty thin washer), offers the back panel a tiny rattle, conveniently fixed with some of these small bump pads from Wallyworld. The foam filter tends to make the front fan sound overly loud, 鲸 mm, might possibly go to an 80mm and reinstall the foam and see what that does). Intel G41 board, Corsair PSU, Adata mem.,Sapphire 4650 graphics, Intel Pentium dual core E6500 cpu, Samsung 320 gig HDD, all new from the Egg, Sony optical from the salvage bin,(not terrible,not any noisier than most).2nd G41, and 4650, E6500 is speedy, 1st time for mem brand,so far so good quality, went back to Samsung drives, they've been good quality to me.

Great case I bought two of these circumstances, 1 was just fine.Nevertheless the second case had a undesirable switch.So I went to Cooler Master on the net and filledout all the facts needed for a RMA/part request, that was back on 8-19-10.As of 9-9-ten the web page says it is nevertheless pending.Lastly I decided to tear apart an old Compaqsituation I had and spliced in the switch, it functionsgood now. The case is a good case, luckly I hadan old switch or it would still be sitting dead. RMA course of action is mighty slow

extremely, very very good-in particular considering price tag.looks wonderful, excellent design, liked the tool less possibilities, effortless to work in very good area for drives, cards and matx board.MATX cast with full sized ATX power provide perfect for this construct...metal not as thick as 贄 plus antecs/others... and it must not be at the price tag, just appropriate i consider---get it and be pleased would be nice to get to back of drive mounting w/o screwdriver to eliminate back panel...would go nuts if they did it with a bottom full atx ps-neat but most likely wouldn't be as good "deal"...even though i would pay some a lot morei am getting really way as well picky on my part.buy it it is a excellent deal -do not want a extremely long video card...typical fine-with total size (nice) PS you can mount much more drives in the really ample spaces offered (lots) if so want-runs cool and id quiet, even with stock fans- pleased

Looks significantly nicer than the photograph. It's got an understated classy look to it. The develop good quality is very good, and the tool-much less system is nicer than most. It roomy, but not also massive, and it took me about ten minutes to build the final Computer. I just ordered two much more currently. It not aluminum? But what do you anticipate for the cost? I wish it came with an intake fan at the front. I added one of my personal, and discovered that if you place your fingers underneath the front bezel and pull, it comes straight out, allowing a fast and effortless installation of the front fan. The bezel then snaps ideal bak into place.

Great solid mid-tower case. Have owned it for practically two years and no complaints. None Obtain a single, you'll like it!

Comment:
Price tag, and it does what it's supposed to. The cables had been extended enough for what I necessary. I pieced collectively a full Pc and the case was simple to navigate and adjust. None so far.

My Radeon HD 4850 fit just fine although I'd in no way be in a position to put a HDD in the socket adjacent to it. Extremely streamline appear fantastic value and coolermaster much more typically than not has totally free shipping, massive bonus. The PCI access plates are a a single time use gig. I misjudged exactly where the PCI E 16x slot was and popped of the wrong a single and now i have an open slot that I can't cover up. The tool-much less bays are nice but they don't genuinely secure issues in spot just stop them from sliding forward or backwards. In order to place HDD's in the bottom bays you have to open up both sides of the case, no major deal just lacks the comfort of some cases at this cost. I saved about 40 bux from my last case and am definitely not 40 dollars less pleased with it so I don't regret the purchase just know that you get what you pay for.

Affordable case. Very good quantity of space inside. Easy to install the parts. Seems to have great airflow. Metal mesh front on unused drive openings. Compact profile. Takes ATX motherboards. Can mount drives with tool-less clips if you like that sort of factor. No side windows, lighted fans, or other flashy stuff; just a fundamental case to construct a standard machine. You have to eliminate each covers to mount the drives. You may possibly just as properly take off the tool-less clips and use screws to mount the drives. Sliding the challenging drive into the mounting bracket scratched the paint on the side rails. Sheet metal is a bit wobbly, but not so undesirable you'd genuinely care once the covers are closed, and not considerably worse than other affordable situations. Reset "button" needs one thing skinny to push it. Chassis markings for the standoff places are not described in the manual; there are embossed letters and a legend to say which holes perform with which size board. Only two front-panel USB connections, both USB 2.. Front panel 1394 connector is not supported in US models, according to Gigabyte customer service. "Sorry!" I have no idea where they want you to use the enclosed ferrite ring. It's obviously for lowering EMI, but there had been no directions where you ought to put it .Somehow, the general experience is disappointing. "Elite" need to be CM's lowest product level designation.Appear for a low cost deal and this case may possibly be worthwhile. I would not spend much more than ฮ for this, and would advocate something else. I almost bought a distinct case but did not assume it was worth the hassle.

1. The case comes with a fantastic set of functions for the funds.two. There is a lot of space for three.five and 5.25 devices, really should the require arise.3. The case's fan locations are nicely placed, and it gives decent air-flow for its size.4. There is space to spare if installing an mATX board with a common 1 slot GPU. 1. The case has a somewhat flimsy really feel to it, though at this price tag point I did not expect thick aluminum. I'd get in touch with it a 1ǘ con.two. I would adore it if case producers created 3.five" HDD bays with sideways access (ie: rotate all internal three.five" bays 90 degrees counter-clockwise). Given that quite handful of manufacturers do this at this size/price, I do not count this as a substantial negative.3. The tool-free of charge process that is employed for this case is effectively below what I'd call solid construction. See beneath for an explanation. I wouldn't have discovered this flaw if not for that I constructed this rig and then shipped it UPS 1ǘ way across the U.S. When I installed the HDD into the 3.five" bay making use of the tool-free of charge method, I made darn confident that every thing was securely fastened. I went so far as to pull (with affordable force) on the tool-free of charge clips to make positive they would not shake shed.Upon arrival, the tool-free of charge process had failed, and the single HDD was no cost to flop about on top rated of the MOBO, CPU, and so forth. I've utilized quite a few a tool-cost-free process, and this style ranks low.Thankfully, it appears that comparatively tiny harm was induced, but I only give three eggs for this purpose. four otherwise.I really should be clear that Newegg was NOT responsible for the harm through shipping. The parts arrived undamaged from Newegg, and it was only when ** I ** shipped the rig, thereafter assembling it, that the shipping dilemma happened.Possibly, UPS did not deal with the well packed box appropriately, but the design did NOT support.

Tool-totally free design works well, or screws can very easily be employed. Headphone jack has headers for ACྜྷ and HD Audio. Side air duct is adjustable and extends toward processor. Comes with a nice bag of mounting screws and hardware. Does not involve an LED front fan and only comes with tool-totally free hardware for two 5.25" drives (a con only in that some pictures are misleading). The case is flimsy when not completely assembled. A significant video card will make some of the hard drive slots unusable. Integrated rear situation fan is a Cooler Master A12025-12CB-3BN-F1, rated for 44.03 CFM, 1200 RPM, and 19.eight dBA.

Incredibly light, easy to build with, tool-less style operates excellent! This situation is fairly compact in general dimensions but there is lots of space inside with an ATX board even with some of the bigger video cards out there will fit in this situation no challenge. The included rear 120mm exhaust fan is SILENT. I only wish the 120mm front fan I added for intake was even close to quiet as it is. The side doors are Quite thin, but I knew that going into it and let's face it thin aluminium is nonetheless superior than the thin plastic that my final machine from the maker that rhymes with Bell uses. A wonderful roomy price range case, will hold every little thing most customers need to have even for an enthusiast there is a lot of room in this situation.

Comment:
Properly packaged situation. Clear labeling on all connectors/wiring. Great fit for a reasonably strong Intel i7 technique. Contains lots of parts to do a good system develop. I liked the tool-totally free disk mounting program. The provided situation fan could be a tiny nicer. The three wires are not tied with each other so they look messy. This is effortlessly cured by braiding the wires or covering them with black sleeving.It does not inlcude the front situation fan or lights as others have talked about. If you read the product specs, this is obvious, but it would be best if the photo didn't show that "serving suggestion". I added a front fan which does make the situation look like the photo (but in green). What the specs and pictures don't tell you is that there is a blue energy LED in the front panel power switch and a blue disk activity LED in the recessed reset switch. You will need to have a paper clip to push the front panel reset switch. It's little and recessed so you can't push it by error. There is also a beeper/buzzer in this situation to hear mobo beep codes.

Locking clips to secure hd/cd/dvd/etc drives w/out screws.Straightforward-to-use snap-in/out front chassis panels.Gate for locking in video/sound/wlan/etc cards w/out screws. Loud, annoying front chassis fan.Lack of side chassis fan (just a cone and vent positioned above CPU fan).Quite poor design of energy/reset button front-panel faceplate. For a โ case the construction is slightly much less than what might be expected. Aside from that you fairly significantly get what you paid for, although I got a tiny bit extra.I'm not confident if anyone else has run into this problem, but I went via a replacement CPU and mobo ahead of I figured out that the energy/reset faceplate was preventing boot-up. Powering on induced the CPU and chassis fans to spin but no display signal and no beeps from the on-board speaker. Sent the CPU/mobo back pondering it must be one/both of them, but the new ones had the exact same problem. I ultimately ended up taking all case panels off to inspect every thing. While inspecting, I pressed the actual energy button (not the cosmetic, faceplate button) and to my surprise it booted up and beeped at me. I replaced the faceplate and it wouldn't. I ultimately narrowed it down to the small plastic piece that makes speak to with the reset button, which I had to snip the finish off of as it was partially holding down the reset button.

Tool-less Design, Expandability, Sleek appear, study construction, air flow. Not substantially for cable management, I have my energy supply cables running behind the motherboard tray and it's a tight sqeeze. I was expecting this, so not really a con. This is my very first cooler master case, but it will not be the final.AMD Phenom II x4 965HD Radeon HD5770gSkill pi series ram 4gb250gb, 500gb and a DVD burner all are mounted nicely with the tool less doohicky.

Comment:
Spacious adequate, supplies adequate for all components, Which includes Difficult Disk Drives. Uncomplicated to work with, no weird stuff. Nice for a reasonably inexpensive machine. ? Doesn't come with a energy supply... that's a great factor... obtain a very good one to put in it

This situation is Nearly perfect. Unless you are working with three or a lot more drives. You must be in a position to snatch a couple of of the unused bracket clamps for the other side of the situation for your drives (screwless design). Operates extremely properly and you have plenty of space to function with. Comes with every thing you'll will need. The front panel works just fine.Great excellent workmanship and really feel sturdy however light. My only concern with this case is the reality that you have to use a skinny pen/pencil or paper clip to poke for the reset button. Since I had a lousy motherboard with this construct I had to use the reset button a lot so this got annoying and it wasn't some thing I was paying consideration to when I purchased. Not sufficient to deduct an egg although. For the price - this is a very good deal and the quality you'll get is worth each and every penny.

Tool-less bay installation (see other thoughts)Pretty sleek lookingGreat for spending budget builds Where do I start....It's cramped beyond all believe. And I have a modular. I'm sorry, for me cable management is a must (learned that immediately after this case w/ low spending budget build). I recognize I have a massive video card, and use 2-three difficult drives, but even so, it's cramped. I spent about four hours attempting to get some space, but I can't get absolutely nothing. I'm going to have to get a new situation. Sigh. Don't get this case if you're searching for one with alot of space, you won't locate it in right here. I like the tool-less installation notion, but I that I don't feel like they're secure, so I just use screws. Honestly, how typically do you mess with like four challenging drives, it's not hard taking/putting in small screws. If you're looking for a case for a good budget construct, but don't genuinely will need also a lot space, this case is great. Somebody like me with a 8800 GTS massive-butted monster, it's not to excellent.

EZ develop, no tools and very great construct high quality. None Built for household member. They were delighted with computers appearance.

Its not too large and can surprisingly fit a 5970 properly w/o having to force it in. Yes i built a rig with a 5970 and this case. I didnt wanna blow a bunch of dollars on a situation.tooless style is really nicegreat price and if you add additional fans you will get a better performing situation as an alternative of obtaining like a HAF 932 or anything like that For men and women putting a lot in the situation and that care about how neat the situation looks inside with wire management appear elsewhere unless you're incredibly adept at wire management. I didn't acquire this case right here as it was less costly at my local retailer. Still i couldn't support but chime in for those contemplating this case, it has a very good create excellent. it does get hot in my case w/ Phenom II x4 and 2 hdds and a 5970 but i strategy on adding a 120mm fan to the front and a 92mm fan to the side which this situation can manage

Most of the Pros from 7ǟ nevertheless apply. It's a good hunting case. I favor some thing slightly understated, as opposed to the more modern thought that a gaming/HTPC rig has to be outrageous.Unless you're making use of much more than two tricky drives, there's lots of room. Hell, I've got two challenging drives, 2 DVD burners, and a DVD-ROM drive in right here, and lack-of-space wasn't an problem, even with a large video card. I strategy on utilizing an additional of these instances to build my mom a new pc for Christmas.Screws aren't important for your drives. The clips do a bang-up job of holding almost everything in location, and they aren't fragile. If you're paying attention to what you're doing, I don't see how you could break 1 in the course of installation.This is the initial non-windowed-situation my nephew has referred to as "cool." High praise from a 16 year old that's utilized to seeing the gaming computers I sell. The red LED fans I utilised add a good glow to the unit. Wish the power & IDE lights weren't blue, but the contrast looks fairly great. The rear fan on this point isn't up to the task of moving sufficient air by means of the situation if you're making use of a high wattage 鲽+) CPU. The paint on this case is actually low high quality when compared with any mid-grade situation I've purchased in the final ten years.Those are the only complaints I have after a month of usage. I'm nevertheless trying to get the temps lower without it sounding like a jet readying for takeoff, simply because I'd like to boost the clock speeds a little. I thought the temps would drop following the thermal compound had enough time to cure. I was incorrect. They went up.I pulled the original 120mm 1100 RPM fan out of the back, and replaced it with a 2100 RPM 80mm fan, and the temps dropped 8* at idle, and 14* beneath complete load. The cause I went with Cooler Master on this create was due to the fact I've never ever been disappointed with the air flow properties of a single of their situations. I'm disappointed with this a single. The similar build ran substantially cooler in the old Raidmax situation most of these elements came out of.If I were running a 65w CPU rather of a 125w model, I don't think heat would have been an problem. As is, it was bad adequate that I considered switching to liquid cooling. Luckily, I decided to make the fan swap just before spending money on a solution I don't consider would have been helpful.Nevertheless, I'm contemplating the idea of swapping to a lower wattage, higher speed CPU in the future. Hopefully, that will lower the temps without having lowering overall performance.

Comment:
its a situation. it looks cool. it was inexpensive. and it gets the job completed they are cons but they deserve any less eggs. i just bought the CoolIt liquid cooling and it DOESNT FIT!! the darn radiator bumps into the psu and wont let the screw holes line up, im attempting to figure out a way to ghetto rig it, cuz i seriously want to retain the cooling. so all in all, it a genuinely very good situation. i just wish i took some far more time in deciding. i chose this a single cus alot of other situations appear like they came from aliens or from a transformer. id advise this to any longer. but for an individual lookin to deck out a pc, perhaps not
