This case has superb airflowThe toolless design is straightforward to operate withPanels and components are simple to eliminateOverall style is nice Not seriously a con, but obtaining my HDD in the bay was a tight squeeze I had to get a fan for the front of the case, but the 1 I bought (Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D 120mm Case Fan) runs silently and seems to contribute well to keeping the air flowing nicely

1. easy to setup2. a lot of bays3. ƒ) front usb w/ audio hookipfour. uncomplicated to modfive. really like the "one twist" drive lock-in brackets6. wonderful airflow 1. panel airflow scoop two. no clear side panel. three. 80 or 120mm front fan support, but no front fan. (have 2 get seperately)four. flimsy and effortless to damage It's a desent case, with wonderful airflow. It does not come with a front fan. You have to get one. I put a blue led 120mm in mine. Nonetheless, it does have a 120mm rear fan. The side panel has a massive black airflow scoop, that won't enable you to close the case, due to your video card or cpu heatsink. So take it off, and install yet another fan. It's a tight case, so if you have massive hands, be prepared to use some 4-letter-words. Especially, when hooking up the front panel wiring. To be honest, I thought about sending it back to NewEgg. I kinda felt embarrassed installing an i7 setup in this case. If I could do it all more than once again, I would not acquire this case. But it does the job and I'm somewhat pleased for proper now.

Great develop good quality, ive messed with much much less built situations. Exceded my expectations for what i paid for it! None that i located! Get yourself some removable expansion block off plates in case you pull the incorrect one out.

Nice looking case. Didn't have any problems installing all the components, such as an Arctic Cooler freezer 64 cpu cooler on the CPU. I genuinely liked the mesh front panels. Images don't do it justice. Broke a couple of the quick mount locks, so I just installed almost everything with screws. Sort of planned on that anyway. I make this into a "quiet case" so I installed sound padding and mounted the solid side cover on the left and the perforated cover on the suitable side to generally cover the vent holes. Applied a 92mm fan in the front and a 120mm in the rear. Adjusted speeds for a good quiet, but steady air flow via the case. When tested with Prime 95, internal temps stayed steady at 28C, GPU at 43C, and all four CPU cores by no means got about 47C (normal work at 30C). Worked out great. Case ambient actually a degree cooler with the covers on.

- Looks fantastic with the nice mesh front- Functions- About a inch or more room to spare with my ATI Radion HD 5830 - The front power LED diedCooler Master costumer service is poor but they get you the component eventually if you use the live chat and yell at them enough.- Not truly a con, but like the other reviewers said receiving a HDD in the bay was a tight squeeze- Not truly a con, but the expansion bay way of securing card that is much more or much less tool much less is not very good adequate for me to trust it to hold by 160 dollar dual slot graphics card. So I utilized screws. - The is only room for two fans.- I am planing to Get two good 120 mm fans to add 1 to the front and replace the rear fan.

It's a case. It holds parts. Lots of room for the spending budget builder. Absolutely nothing fancy, just a great solid case. Tool-much less install is good. Would have liked thumb screws on both side panels, but this is a pet peeve of mine (matching hardware is Essential!), not adequate to dock an egg. This technique sits in my bedroom, so its greater than some of the Christmas tree situations of comparable size. Had to buy an separate front fan, but that's no problem, as I am specific of noisy fans.

It is a excellent case for the price. I couldn't ask much a lot more out of it. Extremely straightforward style and great for a minimalist that doesn't light all the LED lights, like myself. I've had no difficulties with the drives not getting secured tightly in location. In fact, I have a scratch or two to the black paint on the side of the drive due to the fact it was so snug. Too-less drive fasteners do a excellent job. The only poor thing I identified was that the manual (both the printer 1 that came with the case, and the manual on the web site), did not contain any info about installing the front fan. It's not hard to do at all, just a couple of plastic clips to take off the front plastic cover to get to the point where you can screw in your front fan. I don't see why it wasn't included in the manual as it would only require a couple of steps for explanation.I wouldn't advise this case for men and women that lug about their desktops to LAN parties or something as it is a pretty lightweight case and isn't built for a rigorous atmosphere, but for just sitting at a personal computer desk, it functions excellent. I'm not into heavy gaming. Primarily just play the Blizzard franchise games (WarCraft, StarCraft, Diablo) and Quake III. However, I do a lot with Virtual Machines/Networks for vulnerability/network penetration testing for academic purposes.I'm slowly replacing my older system.

Cooler Master has lengthy been identified for instances with excellent air flow, and this 1 is no exception. The case comes with a 120mm fan in the back and I added one more in the front and every thing inside stays cool but its quite quiet. Its quite spacious and offers you the selection to add 3 optical drives as properly as 4 full size 3.5" challenging drives. Cable management is also quite effortless. Both side panels can be removed. Its incredibly spacious inside even with a full motherboard and I have installed many full sized graphics cards without concern. It just looks and feels really nicely built for a โ case. You will not locate better in its price range. I would be nice if a 120mm fan in the front was included. The picture is deceiving and produced me think that 1 was included until I read the description. Generally read the description, by no means assume anything. It would have been good if there was an opening for a different 120mm fan on best. Even with that mentioned its not enough for me to take anything away from the overall rating. Cooler Master just makes solid instances, period. If your in the marketplace for an entry level case that will permit you room to expand than this is the 1. Sure, it doesn't have shiny lights everywhere and no clear side panel but who cares...I would take efficiency over looks any day. This offers you both. I have had it for nearly a year now and its my fallback case.

Sharp seeking all vlack finish. good quantity of room for an typical construct laptop or computer. lot of challenging dribe bays.Fantastic side cooling vents, but dont come with fans get some extras, they will be worth it. The technique for mounting drives is allthough coolermaster (which if know for superior straightforward systems) is suprizingly tough to use. You have to open each panels to put them in, which id always a hassel when you require to put the computer togther in a jiffy. The plasic locker for the bays also break esaly. In the major view the mount problem is not that major of a difficulty.The clean appear of the case for outways this issue and the side venting tunnel more than the cpu is a great idea, kudos collermaster.

nice case for the dollars, don't invest over ุ for this such as shipping since for ฟ additional nzxt cases have superior characteristics none

Comment:
good overall design, very good price, simple to function with. the built-in drive securing brackets are made of affordable plastic that is so soft they break off when you twist them into location to secure the drive. Luckily, there are also holes to use screws to hold the drives. But the plastic brackets are useless. Atypical of Coolermaster which is typically high on high quality. Most likely would not buy once more.

Comment:
Looks very good. Effortless to install elements. The tool totally free technique is easly broken and can't be ordered on the coolermaster website. The front panels are a small challenging to take off. I cut myself a couple of times. (Still really like the case though)

Comment:
expense efficient and an attractive unit. plenty of space for growing space, specially for a mid-tower. foam filters on front drive covers; each bit helps. a dated design. photographs show optional LED fan in front and rear, but this unit only comes w/a single non-LED fan in rear. wires for reset switch, but no reset switch on case; i was thinking a half of a depress on power switch acts like a reset switch, but that didn't seem to function, it just shut down. So not sure exactly where or what the reset switch is. i'll uncover it. lol I'm making a system w/some old and new parts that will hopefully sell on the net, lol. Using a trusty EVGA 122-M2-NF59 𖗆SLI] mainboard in this construct.Other options in this price range are much more modern day, but this unit was on sale here at newegg, and w/the discount price and rebate, impossible to pass up.Besides, overall, you actually couldn't go wrong w/this unit. And newegg got it here in 2 days! wow.

Comment:
It's a very good case, can't complain. Got it affordable with no cost shipping. The case came with one of the "plastic HDD holders" broken off. Not a bid deal, I applied screws there, just thought I'd mention it.

Comment:
Excellent Case was able to fit two DVD drives 2 Bay Aero Cool fan Controller and 3.5 card reader with no concerns, tooless worked like a charm a bit misleading on the front case fan, there isn't 1. I added a Coolermaster Green LED fan for 10.00 More than all pleased with the top quality for the funds spent.

Comment:
Excellent air flow fairly quiet and just all around excellent case. Not entirely tooless but practically. I wish it would have came with the front fan with the blue LED like in the picture besides that its a great case.

Comment:
+ Sleek style+ Looks very good sitting on leading of my desk+ Keeps everything cool+ Didn't get cut putting my rig together - Little cramped inside- Not the finest for Micro ATX boards (see other thoughts)- Thin metal applied for side panels- Coolermaster logo on front is obscenely large, significantly bigger searching than what the pictures recommend. Remember this is a budget case, not all the features are going to be there. Shows scratches fairly bad. Be cautious with it. I threw a mATX board in there and IMO there isn't sufficient mounting screw wholes in the case. The edge of the board just hangs there which was kind of worrysome when I went to plug in my major power connector.Cheers!

Nice case for the $. Fifty bucks shipped. Sides are a bit flimsy so be cautious whilst handling. **Ordered Saturday afternoon and didn't receive it until 9 days later. Yes, NINE DAYS. ...by far the worst shipping time I have encountered with NEgg. Is it just me or has the Egg slipped a bit in overall pricing and service in the past couple years? I've never ever ordered from anyplace else - generally bragging to pals and family about NE. ....this 9 day shipping experience gets a 'mulligan' from me for now but I am officially adding other outlets to my pc and whatever search. Too bad cuz the Egg was often a good 1 quit shopping location, for me at least.

Comment:
-Sharp looking-exceptional ventilation-affordable-cpu air duct -Quite flimsy. -vague instructions Quite flimsy, perhaps sufficient to RMA it. Read the particulars- the case weight is only 13lbs. Most circumstances are 18-22 lbs.It would get five eggs from me, but I am so disappointed that I may possibly decrease it to even three eggs! Nonetheless if you want a LIGHTWEIGHT case, then this is for you!!!

Comment:
A lot of room, uncomplicated to function with, and he case has a good conservative appear to it. Not a big fan of the drive mounting technique, but they're not all that bad. I ended up working with them anyway. They are optional. You can constantly revert to screws if you prefer. So this really isn't a con, but just a thought I guess. This is a nice case for a nice cost. Yes, it may not be the heaviest gauge, or the quietest, or have that obnoxiously gross "gamer" case appear to it, however it is just appropriate for a mid tower. I will purchase more of these for confident.

Tool-much less install selections +screw optionsExtremely attractive case design (my opinion)Front panel harness for audio & USBSide-panel thumb screwsRoom for front fan for HDD cooling Ventilation on best of case would "nice".Mfg should also supply either e-sata or 1394 harness.Sheetmetal is "thin" but typical, it is "adequate". Top install power supply slot. I modded top of this case for a leading fan, and would appreciate factory pre-drilled grill areas somewhere along best of the case for additional fans.This is an excellent case. I now have 2 of these cases. A++ for looks.

Light weight, fairly sturdy for thin metal, and just looks seriously superior, front panel wire length was excellent, and all front panel bits work just fine! Huge surprise for me was that the tool less drive clips really Function Nicely, was excellent sufficient i didn't use screws to lock them down (a first for me, i constantly use screws!) Not a horrible challenge, but the case flexes a good bit when its empty, not a surprise at this price point and tightens up nicely when loaded with parts. Bought this for a customer build, was my initially ever CM case.I am quite impressed with the top quality/price ratio and will be utilizing this case or comparable CM cases for future builds.It just works, all the aspects involved add up to a truly solid build! If you want an in-high-priced case for a build you cant go wrong with this 1

This case has great air flow and I discovered it easy to work with. Decent build top quality. Somewhat flimsy side panels Practically fully tool much less - the left panel does not have thumb screws, only the correct panel does. Outside of that, every little thing is tool less. I had no problems with the 5.25" and 3.5" tool less drive mounts and they preserve my drives secured Ƒ optical, two HDD). Exact same for the tool much less add-on card style. Comes with a 120mm rear PWM fan and is quite quiet even though its airflow leaves something to be desired. Has a provision for a front fan, I employed a 120mm fan but it can accept 80mm and 92mm I believe as effectively. Airflow is quite good which is what I anticipate from CM. The interior of the front bezel has removable filters. The front bezel is straightforward to remove. I uncover that it supplies a lot of room. Front panel wires are nicely routed. No removable motherboard tray. The directions are worthless. I picked this up at a neighborhood retailer for the exact same expense when I saw the price and design. Cost was the exact same as the Egg's so I figured I couldn't lose. Needed a new case to battle an overheating challenge on a system utilizing an old Pentium D 830 with a 130W TDP, this case supplies the air flow that I necessary. I picked up this case when I saw it even although I was at my neighborhood retailer for a new CPU cooler.

There's a lot of value here for the cash. I put in another front 120mm fan for intake to augment the supplied rear fan. Outstanding airflow, front of case is mesh. The screwless drive mounts worked nicely for me. Reasonably solid and looks very good. Side duct for improved processor cooling. Front panel USB ports and audio connections, but note that front panel cable connects to HD audio header only! Case comes with a lot of little hardware screws, parts and ties. You could invest far more on a case, but you in all probability won't get a lot more than this tower case already gives you at a very reasonable cost. The screwless drive mounts do seem a small brittle and frail when brand new. It's very best to think of them as getting a "break-in" period. As soon as you've utilized them successfully a couple of times, they seem to sort of break in and function smoothly. Basically applied a light touch when working with them for the initial time, don't turn hard, just wiggle and coax them to engage and disengage a couple of times, and they'll be fine. This nearly doesn't belong in the "Cons" section.The front panel audio is "HD" line-out and microphone only. This matters simply because you can only plug it into an HD audio header. I didn't genuinely comprehend this when I bought the case. What I definitely wanted was a line-in on the front panel, which is not supplied in this case. It's a extremely minor con.Other reviewers mention this: the left side panel can be removed by hand, but inexplicably, a screwdriver is needed by the perfect side. An additional quite minor con.None brought on me to lessen the 5-star rating. Solid case. Every thing lined up effectively. Front panel mounting snaps are accessible, and work properly, so panel removal and re-install is easy. It's a great looking case, and I would say that overall, it has exceeded my expectations.
