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

Comment:
I actually liked the case, and I loved the ease of the no tool system. Worked for me when installing the DVD drives and 3.5 hard drives. Case comes with screws so if you don't like the no tool system, you can go the old fashioned route. The no tool PCI card system is a little flimsy, so I achored those down with the included screws. Came with everything you need, cables etc... Love it. And it looks great.

I bought this case and a big cool-master cpu fan, nice to see a big cooling device fit in a case. Easy to install components in this big case.

I've had this case for about a month now. So far it's great. Had no problems installing the hardware inside. I would recommend getting a couple of quiet fans with this though. The stock fan is a bit on the loud side.

This case replaced my old one that had 12 fans running at full tilt to keep things cool.... and they didn't do a very good job, either. I took out the stock fan that comes with this rig and added 2 of the 120mm, 150,000 hour life fans from Noctua. Used the rubber shock mounts that came with them, too. The result is a very quiet, cool case. The best case I've ever used. (first computer build in 1966) I dinged the quality rating a star because it was missing 2 of the quick mounts for the drive bays, but other than that, this is one superb board holder!

I have used Coolermaster products in the past. I was disappointed with this unit. The no-tool system is very flimsy, in fact the plastic locking cam broke on one of the holding units. I realize that this unit is only $50(without a power supply), but I expected a better quality product than this. The reviews I saw seem like they would have to be from a different product.

I really like this case, not too big to be an eye sore but big enough to get the job done. And that it does extremely well. Airflow is good and keeps things cool as a result. Has enough room and fan placements to accomplish cool running and very quiet. Well designed and made.

This case was a pleasure to install the components in. The sides and front came off easily and went back on smoothly. There was enough room inside to rearrange drives or cards without having to remove other components. Very pleased with the purchase.

The case looks great and has lots of air flow. The HDD slots were tight and scratched my HDD. The expansion slot holder doesn't hold the cards the best, but it does work. I put a screw in my cards to hold them down tighter. Other than that the tools free for the drives works well, and it is a really nice case. I might need to buy another.

This is a well made good looking case. The cleanable filters are a plus. I'll buy another if they are still available when I build my next system.

Comment:
this case is great,easy to assemble components inside,you can even take off the right side cover to add a cpu fan without removing motherboard(which so many complain about)when buying a cooler master V8 or such,great airflow front to back

Comment:
This case comes with all the screws, and there is a lot of space for everything to fit. great ventilation too.

Comment:
This case comes with a side fan and rear fan, as well as a cone that fits nicely over the CPU to help remove the hot air rather than just a vent where most of the hot air blows against the inside of the case, which they don't show in the pictures. Rapid rails to install your drives work very well. This case is a great buy for the money. I've purchased many cases for personal and professional builds and this case is solid.

Comment:
Good air flow, and put in a mATX with a amd dual core, which fits perfectly under the funnel cone that goes out the side of the case. the vents on the side provide decent air flow for a good graphics card and I put a 120mm fan in the front to keep the air moving. Internal temps range from 29c at idle to 38c under a load. Mesh front and light construction. be wary of sharp metal edges. nice case overall will buy again.

Comment:
Quality construction; easy to use drive trays; great looking. I would definitely buy another one.

Comment:
Used this case for my first build job. Good neat appearance and size with a conservatice black finish. Inside had plenty of room for the micro-ATX board. Once I figured out the CoolerMaster gizmos that hold the internal drives, they worked fine. Sharp looking!

Comment:
Very easy to transfer existing machine over to add more space for extra drives. Lots of space! looks good too

Comment:
Overall, turely an awesome case, for the price, quality is very, very awesome. :) My only qualms with it is that the LED for my power button doesn't work on mine, but otherwise its not needed, the case is solid for the price highly satisfied with this and other cooler Master products, they got a follower here! :)

This is my 2nd Cooler Master case & it's a nice one. It fits the components from my barebones kit better than the case provided with the kit (that case was too small to hold the massive video card). I give features a 3 because the case has a spot for a 1394 but does not provide one (not that I need it but some do). Both sides of the case are removable making for easy access to install drives. The only thing I dislike is the expansion slot panels because once removed you can't put them back. //My Build: EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard/ Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz OEM Processor/ OCZ Intel Extreme Edition Dual Channel 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz Memory/ Hitachi 1TB SATA Internal Hard Drive/ EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Video Card/ Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply/ LG GH22NS50 DVD Writer - DVD+R 22x, DVD+RW 8X, DVD-RW 6x, DVD-RAM 12x, SATA (OEM)

When I ordered this case I was a little concerned of the quality for only $50. Now that I have it I couldn't be happier. This case would be a deal at $80. I will defiantly buy Cooler Master again!! Ordered Monday, received Wednesday.

I ordered this to replace a LanBox Lite rig that I assembled in Jan09. This is much better than a mini box - It has plenty of room without taking over your work area. The quick release keys used to hold the drives make assembly very fast. Will accomidate 2 120mm fans, so cooling the average gaming rig is no problem. Great box -- the best at this price.

This is a great case for the price. It was well painted, there were no dents or scratches in it, and I didn't encounter any sharp edges and it felt very sturdy. I really like that the microphone/earphone jacks and usb ports are halfway up the case rather than near the floor. I would have like a clear side panel, but for the price, I can't complain. I used it to build a case for a friend so I didn't get to keep it, but if I buy a new case for myself, I will get this one if I can find it.

Pros: Good price, tool-less drive installation, excellent ventilation, case fan is VERY quiet. Cons: No dust shields for the side-panel vents!?!, only one thumbscrew is included for the side-panels (making tool-less drive installation difficult or impossible), the tool-less ad-card installation is useless. Other Thoughts: - The panel that swings open and closed to hold ad-on cards in place was designed upside-down. It must be left open to secure ad-on cards. - The back-panel was bent in. The box was 100% fine, so it happened before shipment. The same was true for my first CoolerMaster tower (which was $160, and I wasn't happy to see such mistakes for that price). - Front-panel SPDIF I/O and two more USB ports would be useful. I'd buy CoolerMaster again, but not if I keep having to repair the case before using it for the first time. These are great cases for higher power systems.

I have to say im extremely impressed with this case, i built my first comp ever with it and had zero issues, only thing i can say is the tray's for the Hard drives are a little narrow and made for a tight squeeze but i got it in there and no problems. i used the tooless feature for the hard drive cuz it was tight anyway, but the optical drive i screwed in. the picture also does no justice because its a really nice looking case.

Comment:
Just got the case everything thing works great, the hard drives has a tight fit, but, if i were making another computer i would buy this case again.

I built a new system for my wife using this case. She thinks it's the most attractive case available for any price. Good quality overall; bays are tight, which is good to reduce vibrations and noise, but a little care is required to prevent scratching drive sides (which doesn't matter anyway). I especially like the fact that the front ports are at mid-level. Bottom ports can catch dust and top ports can be inaccessible if the unit is placed on the floor under a desk. Documentation is adequate. Only flaw was the ''power-on'' and ''reset'' wires were reversed (meaning the wires were labled backwards from the way they were actually connected), causing me a little head-scratching. But no problem - I just reversed the wires. I would buy it again.
