Exceptional situationsturdy and a lot of fan portsliquid cooling portsdecent cable management the knockouts on the rear of the case...would have preferred permanant ports. not adequate to take an egg away. i would get this case yet again and i suggest it to everyone in the industry for a situation.

Comment:
A lot of space for my program. eight fan ports. The bottom mount power supply makes it possible for to work inside w/o cramping space. Only comes with one particular fan. Have to order the other seven for extra cooling to exhaust heat from power supply.

Plety of areas for fans, I like the blue light, ordered two far more fans just like the a single in it. Cool see by side pannel, fast release for drives, properly worth the price I paid for it which was below ุ, totally free shipping only comes with a single fan, never ever got my rebate

Fantastic good quality metal not thin as crud like someSECC Steel is very thin but it is light i guess and this is not SECC so it is good structure and powerfulfan placement is great it was naturally performed by somebody who understands what they are doing effectively, cooler masterthe top two fan slots are only very good for the one particular closest to the front and it is excellent simply because it cools the rams ideal now when i feel the rams they are coldone in the front is fantastic for cooling hdds and gets fresh air to the energy provide and video cardswindow is big and open so it looks coolacquire some much more 120mm blue fans and put one in the leading more than the rams pushing air in, the heatsink pushing air back unless it is a stock cooler(i under no circumstances use) one particular in the back pushing air out and partly pulling it more than the northbridge, the power provide with fan in the case not to the bottom so it can get cool air from the front fan looks good with all black insidefan is moderate quiet and vibrant effortless installationcool hunting front and fan on front virtually too bright for a dark space so bright that i can virtually not see my screen at evening since it blinds me when have it next to my monitor but if it is on the floor then it illuminates the space bluehdd mount wants to be turn sideways so front of hdd is toward the windowwindow scratches quickly so don't accidentally kick it and get a shoe mark on it simply because to get it off it will scratch it so much it will appear like a bad spot energy supply four-pin molex to motherboard practically cant reach you have to run it more than the video cards not below the mobo so it looks ugly i would have expected this case to cost additional like aroung 65 bucks but it is suprisingly low-cost for the top quality

Great Looking, Straightforward setup, Enjoy the drive locks, Air superiority, etc. Nada, Zero, Zip I have bought high dollar situations that did not equal this one.At fifty bucks it would be good at thirty four bucks with ten buck rebate its G-R-E-A-T.

Case looks very good, almost everything fits with each other fine. Blue lights look good. Didn't discover any sharp edges. Plenty of ventilation. The PSU goes at the bottom, not confident if this is a plus or a minus The cable from the fan didn't reach to the connector on my motherboard, but it has an IDE energy connector also so powered it that way

Comment:
Good fan included in situation, keeps every thing cool, and a lot of areas to place a lot more fans. Fan is quiet as well. Plenty of room for a full sized motherboard. Front USB is quite convienient. Back panels are a significant discomfort to take out, and I ended up takeing one additional than I needed, bending the back of the situation. Also, as far as I know, the front audio panel doesn't work. The CD docks have replaceable covers, why not the back panels!?

Sturdiness, Stunning lighting, Fantastic Cooling alternatives and airflow. All about a good situation! Specifically for 49.99 shipped no cost. What a deal! none presently. I bought this case when I had reached the end of my create spending budget. I required an inexpensive, quality case with very good cooling and cooling options and a lot of space. Coolermaster delivered precisely that.I was genuinely surprised by the sturdiness and top quality of the situation. Coming from an Antec 900 from my final develop, I expected this situation, at half the cost, to lack the sturdy feel of the Antec, but it does not.Very high quality item. Period.I Will be making use of these cases for my future builds.

An low-cost situation with some good capabilities - 1) front 120mm fan included2) bottom mount PSU3) Mesh with screens offer excellent airflow.4) It came with a stand-off 'socket' to install the mobo stand-offs with. Not adequate Cons to knock an egg for, but worth mentioningɅ) As other individuals have talked about, the card slot covers are low cost and need to have to be knocked out ahead of the mobo is installed (to keep from damaging it)two) There were just sufficient screws for an ATX board but they had been mixed in with all the other, smaller screws and had to be sorted very carefully.3) be cautious screwing the mobo stand-offs in - the back plate is really thin and felt like it could simply strip. (see Pro about tool) I purchased this to place my old 775/Q6600 into for my GF and it operates excellent for that! Looks good and has a quiet fan.

Nice size, just what you would count on out of mid tower. has 6 fan slots fantastic air flow. nice window to view my led fans.Fit my zalman 9500, even though its not that huge. has tooless slots for hardrive and disc drives. with an ATX motherboard you most probably wont be able to fit a top fan, closest, to the front, due to ram. no worries even though as air nonetheless gets by way of. cable management isn't too good. I suggest it to anyone. bought for 30$ at micro center. m4a78t-e955 BE Sapphire 5770 two.1600w430 elite4gs Gskill ripjaw memory.zalman 9500

Lots of Space for fans. Bottom mounted power supply. No tools Needed! Kinda flimsy, but very good for the price!

Comment:
Nicely produced Personal computer Case. only A single Front fan included.

Comment:
great mid size case has good airflow and a fantastic quantity of space inside for what i needed none at this time

Comment:
Has supplied adequate energy to run L4D 1 and two, SC2, and Mass Impact 2 on their highest settings non seriously GeForce 9500gtAMD x2 3.2Ghz

Initially factor I want to say is that the picture does no justice. This case is quite well built. Very good material, not cheaply created what so ever. Cost is good. Greatest of all, it's got a ton of space. I was able to fit atx board with cooler master hyper 212, gtx 460 and the infamously huge 9800 gtx with space to spare. It can fit six, 120mm fans, not such as the 212 cooler. None I like prime mounted psu superior mainly because to me they are much easier to manage with the cables but not going in as a con. Wish I got it sooner.

Bottom PSU, Clear side panel "looks cool", a lot of fan choices, great air flow, cut out behind CPU to swap heat sink devoid of removing MB + +, not to tall, all black inside and out. not at this cost! CM has completed a superb job designing a small, sleek, basic however expense powerful case. I would highly advise this case to anyone seeking for a little air cooled gaming rig.

Wonderful airflow, allows up to five fans to be mounted(I doubt you'd ever require that many even although more than-clocking, I have two and have temps under no circumstances going above 50C(CPU OC'd three.68 GHz X4 955) although my hard drives stay at 34-40C.) Lots of space for tricky-drives, CD-RW's, and Floppy/Card reader drives. 3 Disc reader bays, 2 floppy/card reader bays, and 5 HDD bays. Far more than sufficient space for upgrades. The case is steel and the parts do feel of high high quality (somewhat, read cons). I do also like the side window to show off the GPU and my Hyper 212 Plus. I like the tool-much less style as well, just twist, place in, twist again and you have your device in and securely. Don't listen to the individual who mentioned they could strip the threads, these are just round pegs, I extremely doubt they could do any harm. Also the motherboard standoffs are labeled clearly for ATX/Mini-ATX. (If you didn't choose up on what I stated, yes it will fit a Hyper 212+ just fine. It also could fit two 5970's according to the box. The metal sliding doors do flex very simply, nonetheless absolutely nothing else has this difficulty. Whilst they do flex they don't ever bend or lose shape in any way. Also, whilst employing the exact same exact model fan the screws for mounting them stick out about .5 CM, it could just be the cooler masters fault for making the screws as well long. (They also make the case fans) Over all for fifty bucks, you genuinely can't complain. It's a strong case and has good airflow. For the income you can't go incorrect. If your on a tight spending budget you can trust that this will get the job done with no any RMAing or hassles.

This is a good cheap case. I'm using this for a couple of business computers. For anything else I'd upgrade to something better.

Exactly where to start out. This issue looks wonderful. Crisp clean edges, the clear side window delivers a very good view of the motherboard, but nevertheless hides the drive bays which don't appear that fantastic to begin with. Lots of area for an common develop. No sharp metal edges, no cuts on my hands though installing. Area for 5 additional 120mm fans ƒ leading, 1 rear, 1 bottom, 1 clear side window) Comes with i think a 140mm fan appropriate on the front. That fan has a four pin molex connector for its power provide, that also has a pass by means of on it, so you can power one more device, like another fan, off the identical plug. The front plastic cover comes off prety simple to get access to the drive bays. two USB ports in the front, and a mic input and audio output appropriate there on the front. The whole front of the case is mesh cover vents, so tons of air flow. And a Massive plus, the other side cover of the case comes off also permitting access to the backside of the motherboard which helped whilst installing the heatsink and fan. None of these are truly cons, nothing worth taking off an egg, just factors worth mentioning. The metal feels a tad bit flimsy, but be carefull although you perform on it, and it will be fine. Installed a COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520 heatsink/fan and only had about 1ǘ an inch clearance to the side window. If youre cpu cooler is smaller than that one particular, you will be entirely fine. The picture of the blue LED fan right here on the web page shows it getting seriously dark blue, mine came and is kinda of a light shade of blue. And the backplates exactly where your graphics card or wireless network card comes out just simply pop out. It dosn't come with filler backplates, so make Certain you pop the appropriate ones out the 1st time. And it only comes with the 1 front fan. I put 5 blue LED fans in the case and it looks Great. The factor moves a TON of air. My old personal computer that was like 6 years old, only had 1 fan in the back. When I played games for a few ours on end, the air coming out the back always felt truly hot to me. This issue soon after playing a game for a couple of hours, the air coming out of all the fans nonetheless felt like room temperature air. Again, for a easy property construct and for a pc that will most most likely NOT be carried around from property to home or party tp party, you can't go wrong.

The case itself looks great, and it's a steal for the price.However, if you like guts to look nice and organized, this isn't the case for you. I also had an issue when I was trying to install the Corsair H80. There wasn't enough room at the back of the case to install the back mounting plate. I had to unscrew half of the motherboard to make some room.If you're on a budget, I'd recommend this case for you, but don't get it if you have a little extra money to burn.

Black inside and out, side window, many fan mounts, no-tool five.25" three.five" and hdd bays, and an overall solid really feel. Only a single fan included.

Keeps cpu really cool. Running it on amd x6 3.3ghz processor. Overclocked to 4.1 and cpu temps never ever go over 45 c on complete load. 27 c in idle. Installing on amd MB incredibly effortless. LED is good, but could be brighter. Enormous! Covers 1 of my ram slots, creating it impossible to use them all.Even with low profile ram. Advocate motherboard without having alternating ram slots. Quite heavy and bulky. High profile make it "almost also" tall to place case door back on. POWER HOG. Make sure you have adequate power provide. Cpu fan wire could stand to be a few inches longer. Intel users will find it tougher to install, mainly because you have to screw it in with the brackets! Thankfully i only use AMD.

So, I really like this I don't want something a lot more from a case. Excellent space for my Zalman 9900 MAX cooler and, that thing appear excellent sized. I was worried about space but, NO PROBS Here! I'll list my machine and see if this helps you. Gigabyte EP45-UD3R I not certain if this a con but, I can't figure out had been to hook up the margarita maker on it. I did go backward on this create by not chosing i7 or ddr3. I went quad extreme 9650 with 8gb G.Skill @ 1100mhz ddr2. This should hold till the i7 phase is over. Also,Gigabyte EP45-UD3RGIGABYTE S.O. GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Ultra3 800watt psLooks like I'm gonna be able to throw 3 more 120mm fans in with no prob. This really should run cool as the other side of the pillow. It's my first create! Man, newegg is so fast on delivery!
