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

Comment:
Good Ventilation along with screwless design for your drives. I would have preferred screwless motherboard mounting. For around โ you cannot beat this situation. It may well be inexpensive in cost, but it is not inexpensive in top quality.It puts these Rosewill situations in the identical price tag range to shame.

Price. decent construction. blue led light is a small annoying but effortlessly dealt with.

Really nice look (clean, sharp but does not have the "gamer" look. Effectively made for the value (see cons). Tool-less drive bays are nice. Reasonably affordable construction (but you can't evaluate to a 贶-200 case.) Some sharp edges. Missing some greater end characteristics (again you genuinely can't expect them at this cost). General great value for the $

Comment:
wonderful seeking situation. front fan is not included with case which is fantastic because it offers you selections: led, no led, what color led and so on kinda tight when i place 9800gt in situation but the card fit and all is properly not blaming cooler master or newegg. the situation came in with a dent in the side of it, which blocked drive bays. didn't want to wait for rma so thanks to my trusty hammer dent is gone. not going to bad assessment for UPS dropping the ball (so to speak). would absolutely purchase a different cooler master case and really pleased with newegg.

Hmm. Tough to come up with Pro's when I hate it and it's my own fault. Uh. It was new? Had very good packaging. Erm, Okay I give up. It's affordable. Low-cost, inexpensive, affordable. Super thin metal, and you can tell the paint isn't all that great either, like if you dragged a fingernail across it it would scratch via to bare metal.I read evaluations about circumstances that have thin metal and I figured they had been whiners, but now that I bought a single I'm really sorry I doubted their complaints had been crucial. It feels Inexpensive. No obtaining around it. Wobbly, like if one particular rivet came loose the entire thing would collapse into a puddle of aluminum foil. I purchased this as a create for a client who is a high-paid professional. I figured it was wise to go affordable on the situation and put the dollars saved into far better memory. Large Error. My high-end buyer doesn't know or doesn't care about all the super high-finish hardware I've installed. All she knows is that her twelve hundred dollar computer system looks Low-cost! For an additional fifty bucks I could have bought one thing great & sturdy. Now my customer has a genuinely great, high-end technique and doesn't even know it due to the fact the computer situation looks so Affordable. A cardboard box or an egg-crate would have been an upgrade, lol...

Relatively decent case general. Tricky drive mounting program operates. Could have been created of a little bit thicker gauge metal.

Comment:
A great situation for the cost (on sale at ื.99 Cdn). Lots of internal space, uncomplicated to work in. Great cooling grills/filters. Appears to be effectively insulated against fan noise (well, considerably greater than the old Dell it replaced). None. Genuinely fantastic for media and/or office apps; not "gaudy/gaming" (and that's not a knock on gaming cases...just that not everyone wants all sorts of blinking lights and neon glow on their desk!)

Good case, good style a lot of air flow quiet and typically nice to appear at worth 50$ Usbs in the front would by no means function but it could be just be my motherboard I had thought it might come with a front case fan

I was against installing my peripherals with out screws. Now, I'm not. The drives essentially do fit in pretty tight devoid of making use of any.It's a excellent looking case. I went ahead and added the front LED fan, and it's a good impact. Wish I'd had a red fan to go with, but the blue nevertheless looks excellent.I wanted a decent, mid/low price tag windowless case with wonderful airflow, and that's exactly what this is. The Cooler Master name also played a function in my choosing this certain case. I've been making use of their HSF units for years, and trust them above all other individuals to deliver wonderful efficiency at a reasonable cost.I already had my process operating at reasonable temperatures, but in a region exactly where 100 degree plus days with 90% humidity aren't uncommon, I nevertheless felt I was pushing my luck a bit with my old case's airflow. Immediately after examining this case up close, I no longer feel that way. Right after the thermal compound has had a bit far more time to remedy, I'll be in a position to make a far more informed comparison. Possibly the worst paint job I've ever seen. No joke. I don't know if somebody didn't enable the powder coat adequate time to cure, or what, but it will really practically peel off from the pressure of your fingernails, so be Really careful handling points when you're putting your components in one particular of these. With the exception of the paint, I'm very pleased with it. The case has "filtering" behind the front grille, of which I'm glad, but be prepared to take the front off the case and spray it out occasionally, or it's going to appear nasty.The style is solid once your elements have been installed. For the sake of stability (and to let the LEDs far more light dispersion), I placed my HDs in the bottom two slots. It makes for a good glow through the holes in the side.Be ready to eliminate the "air duct" from the side if you use even a mid-height CPU cooler. There wasn't space to keep it, and my Cooler Master Gemini II HSF unit, so the duct had to go. It gave me a spot for an additional exhaust fan so no complaints.If you use one of the tall HSF units, this case may well not be wide sufficient. I can't say for confident, but it's anything to maintain in mind if you have a CM V8, V10, or the like. Maybe somebody else can address that.

Strong construction, low price, quick shipping, roomy interior, great air flow, light wieght. Only con is where the USB ports are. They should be on top rated. Employed this for my older Son's develop. It was speedy and straightforward. The tooless style was nice, and this has very good airflow.

Comment:
I like my situations fairly plain searching, and there's nothing overly fancy about this case. It's like a tux, It appears excellent when its all black! A lot of room for my Phenom II x4 on a micro atx board with HD 4770, four dvd burners, card reader, 3 hard drives, and all the other stuffCable management needs the judicious use of a modular power provide as properly as a generous supply of tie wraps. (but with some effort it ends up seeking fairly very good)Fantastic air flow, added a 120mm fan to the front method idles at 25-26c and below load with stock heat sink at 56-58c.The tool much less style on the bays is great... but thinking about you have to use a tool to get both sides of the case open???? meh... Be careful with the tooless things (DO NOT USE FORCE). instead make certain they are entirely seated and then Gently turn them. I sadly broke 1 of mine.... even so given that i have no plans to have eight challenging drives in my rig............ I adore the appear of it.

Comment:
Equivalent to other Cooler Master circumstances. Cheap and flimsy. Not built with thick metal like the Centurion's that I purchased a few months ago for about the identical amount of funds. I just wanted to change up the case style... Could be all of CM's items are becoming created thinner even though... I will discover out when I purchase a Centurion next time. I hope that this isn't CM going on the cheap.

Comment:
CM makes use of real metal making this a fantastic invest in for the value. i assume there is additional wrong with this case than fantastic. i would like to say appropriate off the bat i'm being picky mainly because unless you devote the big bucks you can't have almost everything.1: The front panel is for show, i had to take a the front panel off and use a hammer to pop the front bay off for the dvd drive. I did read the small booklet with the case (doesn't say 1 issue about the front five.25 slotsƜ. the screw-less style equals fail, why would you make somebody have to take the back panel off every time you place in a HDD when the massive slots have a lip for the drive to sit on..lame i just get rid of the back one for the drives i most probably am going to eliminate just about every handful of months saving me the difficulty of take the back panel off.three. why would you not incorporate a front fan?!? + ฟ to your order... This case does deal with ten+ inch cards. I have a 285 folding away suitable now, other than that i wish the bottom spot on the side panel would have the holes for one more 80mm fan but i guess i'm lucky sufficient to have drill.

update to preceding overview, no alter in rating see earlier review relating to jammed side panel Typo in 1st evaluation, need to have said removed two screws in rear for off side panel. Panel wouldn't budge. After discovering absolutely nothing on the web or in critiques regarding a hidden screw, went at it with force, rubber mallet and pried with a flat blade. Finally got it off, nothings seems bent it was just jammed on there excellent. Could have been shipping - case is otherwise fine. Not a five star like my Lian Li and if my Lian Li were black we wouldn't be getting this conversation.

Overall, the case is fairly great. It does its job in holding my personal computer together, which I suppose is all I could genuinely ask for. - Fantastic airflow (vented front panels and space for a 120mm front fan)- Side duct makes it possible for for a nice cool stream of air to blow more than the cpu if you add a fan (and dust filter!)- Optical/Fixed disk connectors are a great touch, had 1 break on me even though. - Overall design is nice, the front panel is a great convenience. There aren't also numerous cons with this case, but it does have some drawbacks.- The metal itself feels a small thin. (side panel wobbles when taken off)- Minimalist design, isn't dressed to impress- A reset switch would have been nice The case is decent, and for the value you actually can't go incorrect. The pros outweigh the cons in this one particular. be certain to check your dimensions before you put a high end graphics card in right here. I have an EVGA GTS250 in there but it was a tight squeeze to say the least.

Comment:
Loved the screw-less drive bays....looks good also. Have selection for a front and comes with a rear case fan. It was challenging to install drives devoid of removing other slide of the case. Might be just that I didn't extended sufficient .....i believed it would be quicker to take away other side and get it done.

This is 1 of the nicest instances I've ever worked with. The layout is excellent, the entire front panel is mesh allowing perfect airflow; the drive quickmounting dealies are workable and removable if you have a nonstandard screw pattern; front panel covers come out simply and cleanly; NO sharp edges; and it's light and sturdy. LEDs are not laser-brilliant; attach points for 3 120mm fans, even though I've only ever needed one, and they're quiet fans too...; and the front panel USB is not at the bottom, which is nice when its installed beneath a desk! nicely, it is quite tall... I've bought 8 or so of these more than the last year for personal computer builds for numerous folks; just about every single one was in best condition; no duds, broken attachpoints, bent corners, etc. they are well packed, with a lot of screws and hardware included. I enjoy the look, it's clean, specialist, powerful, quiet, and cool.

Really clean appear. uncomplicated to build with .. plenty of area. none its a excellent inexpensive case I use the case all the time when building computers for customers and never ever have any complications

Comment:
A fantastic case for a budget or mid range make , sturdy adequate to get the job done , roomy and uncomplicated to perform with. And it be a good brand name not junk at all, over all a fantastic deal. Was not totally free. Some complain about thin flimsy metal , well its not a jack stand lol, its robust enough , its not a 赨 dollar case. The metal edges are sharp yes as with all the circumstances i've worked with in the past , just be careful .

Comment:
Great Budget case I did not obtain this case from New Egg but i thought I would rate this case anyway. Case has lots of room for you motherboard. I like the truth I don't have to use screws to mount the drives. I also like the fact that I don't have to use screws to secure the cards in the I/O ports. You lift the tab slide your card into the slot lower the tab and presto it securely holds your card in spot The 120mm rear fan only runs @ 700rpm it is quiet but I would rather have one that moves a lot more air. Be cautious there are sharp edges so have band-aides handy.

Comment:
A lot of room for hard drives, excellent looks, quiet fan. Tool Less hard drive mounts are a poor design, 2 of mine arrived broken and laying in case, will be requesting replacement from CoolerMaster but not worth RMAing or dropping an egg. Tight quarters even for a MATX board. Fit my Geforce 8800GS but JUST BARELY had room for it and a hard drive side by side.

Comment:
Employing it as an HTPC case, finest value I could locate to fit a atx board and it looks considerably nicer than the old full tower case I had sitting next to my television. Works great as an htpc case as it has tons of room for challenging drives. Side panels are a little flimsy, but it replaced a heavy steel case so it's just not what I'm used to. Very first picture shown of the case is a bit misleading, doesn't come with blue leds in the front grill or lit fan in the back. I kinda figured as substantially but would have ordered a lit fan if I had recognized for confident.

Comment:
It is fairly sturdy. The plastic pins to hold the cd drive and such inside are flimsy, if you twist even a small too roughly you permanently lose one.

Comment:
Excellent searching designUncomplicated to work withSimpleNice power button feel Can be a small pricey for what you getOnly one rear fan with mineSides flex a bit This is a excellent, clean seeking case. Extremely straightforward and does the job. I've been using it as a property theater Pc case for the past year and the fan is pretty quiet. For high CPU/Graphics use, I would install a front fan if yours does not come with 1. The power button has a wonderful positive feel to it. For the cost, I really feel you can get far more from other circumstances in terms of cooling, but this does the job.

Effortless to install motherboards & components, a lot of room. Tool-less design works well, just play with tighteners prior to installing to get the 'feel' of tightening down. A lot of air holes for ventilation. I am employing 120mm case fans, one up front & one in the back, keep quite quiet & components cool. Has a dust filter in the front, which does maintain factors inside cleaner. Installing the front panel, super easy & the placement of the front panel is just appropriate, not too high or too low & doesn't interfer with any aspect of placement of components. Only a couple of minor cons - The tool-less aspect of the PCI component slots did not work ideal, so I just employed screws. No major deal, just wanted to note that it is basic to screw them in, instead. I also wish that the reset button was larger, but I often have a pencil or pen handy to reset when I want to, so no huge deal, either. For the money, you honestly get a lot of 'bang for your bucks'. This case is 6 pounds less, than my previous case, which makes it less complicated for me to move it about. Like the matte black color, as opposed to the piano black, no 'fingerprints' to clean.Easy to blow out the 'dust bunnies' that always occur with electrical components. I can see the dust that will start to build up on the outside & just take my air can & blow on the air vent at the side & front. Periodically, I will take off the side panels, double check all of the connections, creating sure they haven't vibrated loose & then, I will use my air can to blow out any dust that has accumulated. I particularly, concentrate on the fans inside, they tend to construct up dust. This is called excellent upkeep.
