Top front USB/audio jacksSolid but not also heavyPlenty of roomA lot more than adequate ventilationNice fan/lightsFar more than adequate screws Actually Bright energy and HDD lights - they were triggering my wife's migraines from across the living room. Dimmed them with 8 layers of blue painters tape and they are still lots bright. Use actual screws instead of the toolless clips for cd/dvd drives or they might rattle

Attractive, lots of fan choices, bottom mounted power provide. Really thin metal utilized. I constructed my nephew a new personal computer utilizing this case. I chose it over the Cooler Master Centurion in order to save a few dollars. That was a mistake. Top quality of construction was really inferior to the Centurion (I have a single myself). As soon as I removed it from the bad I knew I had created a error. I constructed the program and shipped it with Fed Ex to CA. When it arrived he opened the case to make certain it was all intact. The two vertical walls of the hard drive cage had been bent outward and the difficult drive was sitting upside down on the bottom of the case. The screw much less drive mounts supply no integrity to the cage that screws would offer. Apparently the weight of the drive was adequate to force the cage to spread open from the motion of the box whilst shipping. The box showed no indicators of rough handling either. Would not advocate this case to any person that may well be shipping it soon after completion.

Great case general for the price tag. some cable management would support.

This case is great if you're building a PC on a low budget. It feels sturdy and looks decent, but it can be a pain to build in, especially with large heatsinks and video cards.

Comment:
Barely any plastic, Huge case simple to function in, Good led fan Not confident how to turn off led fan, no location to hide the wires in the case. Could have had more fans but tbesides that good case.

-Looks-Price tag-black interior finish -Little to no cable management I applied this case for my first make and enjoy it. Its a little difficult to hide cables in this case, but it doesn't bother me since general its an awesome case for the price tag

Comment:
Excellent airflow, looks real good. Love all the Rapid-Disconnect hardware for your drives. Massive fan of all the spots for case fans (pun intended). Bottom fan spot is useless mainly because power supply cables make it impossible to match the fan in there. Also, not each drive spot has QD mounting hardware.

Light weightPlenty of cooling opportunities Finger-locks for five.25" and 3.5" drivesTool-less design Not a ton of space for cable management. Adequate area to not have a rats-nest of wires even though. A modular PSU helps a lot! This case has plenty of room to add tons of fans. It's a fantastic top quality case for the price. Very light weight, no dents or dings, nice vent on the side panel with mounts for a fan.

Comment:
Made out of a robust but light weight material, and design. Lots of 120 mm fan web-sites. Psu place is at bottom of the case, for cleaner wiring. Uncomplicated access to replace heat sink back plate. This is thanks to each sides of the case opening, although the mother board tray stays in spot. Leds for the front panel are nice color, and vibrant. All USB and audio ports function and had been simple to set up. Only a single fan come with this case! I dont believe I can sit on this case lol. I have a Raidmax Smilodon situation and its a tank! It was about the very same price, but its heavy as all *&Y!. This new situation need to be cooler just beacuse it's produced from thinner steel and it has additional holes.

Comment:
Almost everything fit inside my case perfectly! It has so numerous possibilities for additional fans etc. name brand none so far

Comment:
It's a case...it does what it's supposed to do. Construction and such are as expected for the cost range. Rebate was received and authorized by the processor but three+ months later I nonetheless don't have it. Not a compelling value at the pre-rebate value. I'll be avoiding Cooler Master rebates in the future. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

*Very good hunting case. *Built effectively, no sharp edges, everything feels sturdy for a ์ Case.*Good airflow, every little thing stays cool. *The slot covers for the expansion cards are breakaway so they cannot be place back in. Also, they can be a discomfort to break out. *No cable management. Seems like it would be relatively simple to punch a couple holes in the backplate. General, a excellent deal for โ. Believed about taking off 1 egg for the cons but it's truly not that large of a deal. I don't believe I will get one more, but I wouldn't discourage everyone from finding 1 either.

a lot of air-flow possibilities, style and construct is incredibly excellent, philips is only tool expected, drives lock-in with no screws, black inside and out, power provide on bottom, really light weight, good assortment of hardware including ties and a socket, great mid-size case for fundamental property use and traditional searching design for this model and design, none this case is genuinely light. the thin steel physique has flex but, it's really well made and doesn't demand force to assemble parts. bought the optional cooler master clear fans to move heat out. for my application the window isn't vital but, it's ok. this is my third cooler master case bought - they've all been black inside and out, and all have been impressive. wonderful mid level case for house Pc. NOTE: the socket is for the MB standoffs and functions (driven) with philips screwdriver

Lots of space for significant 120mm fans, sturdy construction. looks better in particular person than it does in the photographs. I appreciate the truth that it was cheap, that it doesn't appear like it is going to transform into a creepy robot, and that it really came with an instruction booklet written in comprehensible english. fan placement on the leading of the case may or may possibly not be handy. I couldn't location fans on the top since my CPU cooler is also huge and blocked the fans from even being installed, but that was my undesirable. hiding cables from power provide wasn't excellent, but my powersupply was intended to mount on the best, so once again, that was probably my poor. Some of the other reviewers complained about thin metal. I disagree, compared to my final personal computer case this issue is built like Fort Knox. Confident you get what you spend for, but mainly because the manufacturer skipped putting stupid accessories like temp and fan speed readouts in the case, you get a better case. A standard case built greater than a case that tries to be fancy for the exact same price tag.

Easy Lock works nicely for the 3.5" bays and standard HDD. Plenty of room for a normal ATX board and all essential components. Access to USB/ports on the front of the case are incredibly hassle-free. I do not like the construction of the situation. It seems cheaply place with each other with a low cost flat black layer of paint. The paint scratches effortlessly if it gets hit by anything remotely pointed. The rear panels that are commonly installed with a clip and screw for most instances you locate (for the rear access to the numerous PCI cards and such you install), are connected by a small weld that has to be twisted out for removal. Unaware of this, I installed my board, then began setting up cards and had to be careful not to break out the covers with the screw-driver I applied and bang up what's already installed. I hope that tends to make sense.Other than that, I don't genuinely like how the front panels are fully mesh, I feel I will be cleaning the dust out on this case a lot more generally than my last. I would buy an additional coolermaster case, as I like the basic structure and placement as effectively as the front panel design. I do not genuinely like how cheaply it was constructed, but for the cost it's a decent case. I would like to get the same style with a little greater quality on the elements.

TONS of space, i upgraded to this from a stock microtower and what a difference. Lots of space for upgrades and room for multiple fans. Power supply mounted at the bottom is nice leaving extra room for pci cards. Mounting tricky drives and disc drives is uncomplicated with the challenging drive mounts bein tool free of charge. Certainly pleasing to the eye and the clear side panel is a cool hunting also. Lots of extra screws and mobo standouts in case you need to have extra. I was in a position to use all the ones from my old case and save the screws as backups from the new case. No sharp edges and situation went together extremely simply. Lowered my cpu temp by 3 degrees celcius on a anxiety test with only just the front and cpu fans, with a lot more fans i could very easily cool it down even a lot more. Bottom mounted psu has wires stretching more than the motherboard but not seriously a con. Wire containment is precisely wonderful but they do present stuff to assistance bind the wires with each other. Instructions for installation can be a lil complicated to read but combined with the motherboard booklet i got it sooner or later. PSU screw holes were just barely out of alignment tho still useable so not actually a con either.

A lot Of Ventilation140mm LED FanPlenty Of Space For InstallsPower Provide On BottomEasy, Twist Off Screws Holding Side PanelsClear, See Through Side Panel Metal Could Ideally Be Somewhat Thicker I've accomplished a lot of installs over the last 18 years and I seriously like this case. It has a lot of ventilation and two large 120mm grates on the top rated to permit the heat to rise by means of with or without fans. I located the sweet spot for cooling my Phenom II X4 & ASUS MB by installing 120mm fan on the clear side panel blowing inward, along with yet another 120mm on the back also blowing inward. Initially, I had the rear fan blowing outward so as to pass air continuously by means of the situation from the front to the rear, but the moment I configured all 3 fans to blow in, I dropped the Phenom temp from 47 Celsius to 39-40, and the 10x10 room the system is in doesn't heat up like an oven. I hadn't ever used a case with the P/S as a bottom mount, but now that every thing's dialed in, I like it and will probably go this route in the future.

-Sleek Looking-Front audio and usb ports-Blue 120mm fan -Not the very best ventilation unless you get two-three extra fans-no genuine cord management spaceinside a couple of days of getting the situation I began to discover rattles right here and there, I have checked to make confident everything is secured but my only conclusion is that the front panel as properly as the side panels do not secure effectively and make speak to, Extremely unpleasant attempting to do items and generally getting to hear the noise. Will be acquiring a new case right here soon.

- Very best, quickest, and simplest tool-free drive mounting program I've ever utilized- Guide to mobo standoff screwholes etched inside situation- Simple to disassemble and reassemble (mostly)- Looks respectable - The expansion slot covers (and drive bay covers) are snap-off metal, rather than removable. I have never ever encountered this before. Worse but, the expansion slot covers must be broken off by bending inwards... which can\'t be performed if the motherboard is installed! This means that if you want to set up a new card, you have to get rid of the whole mobo and all its accoutrements. Alternately, you can try to saw the cover totally free using a sturdy knife, but you run the threat of metal shavings obtaining in your kit, and of course, one slip of the blade could destroy your complete board. - Most of this situation is really sensibly created, with superb guides and uncomplicated to use components. These slots guards, on the other hand, are the worst I've ever observed, so I can't give this the 5 eggs it would otherwise earn.- I won't contact this a pro or a con, as it's a matter of preference, but the complete case is nearly ridiculously light weight. Removing it from the box, I believed it was produced of plastic until I got my hands on the shell, suitable. It's extremely thin material, be cautious with it.

Quite straight forward effortless to set up any gear. Super rapidly and simple HDD/SDD five.25 and three.5 drive mount, the twist lock, no far more needing to screw in all these little screws!! Lots of area! Bottom PSU mount and a lot of room for further extended PSUs. Numerous places for lots of fans, included is a super quiet fan that you will by no means hear. Great cost! No eSata ports. I have been developing custom rigs since the extremely early 90s and this is one particular of the ideal situation in each and every possible way.

This is an extremely fantastic case for the cost. Much more than what you would get with other situations for this price. Cooler Master tends to make wonderful stuff, I get all my instances from them. But I did go for an low-cost situation this time. Cool master gives you the finest possibilities for fans also. I am not a fan freak, in truth I added a fan and then removed it. Point is that you can setup airflow so uncomplicated in these circumstances just don't place them in an ugly environment as they are fairly open to dust and dirt (floor, factory, etc.). I concur with others that said the external bay for the CD/DVD drive leaves the drives loose. Not a huge issue just leaves you with a funny feeling. I also did not like the internal bay hard drive holders, and I want my drives tight or dampened (best) from vibrations. But the drive holder comes out easy and screws go in fine. I gave this 4 eggs as a rating for cases across the price spectrum but it would get a 5 if I considered situations that are the identical value. Also, I personally study the 4 ratings far more than the 5's as they tend to inform you the tiny factors. Hope this aids you.
