COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1 Black Steel / Plastic Computer Case

It's a incredibly sleek, sexy searching power supply. Haven't had any issues but! There is a reason it got an award I feel. None however. Just put my system together the other day. We'll see what takes place in the coming weeks or months but I feel it will do just fine.

its a nice case, major enough for alll gpu's and cpu coolers. I liked how the pics of it show the case filled with hardware gives excellent interpretation on how yours will be compatible, i like the power and reset buttons seem responsive and sturdy, lots of fan space. I also like how both sides come off. cant use the back leading fan if you have a massive cooler,the blue power light is a bright one if its about eye level its annoying, also the 1 fan it comes with doesnt push considerably air. I went and bought yet another fan cheapist one was a 120 mm blue led so i grabbed it got property and it appears like its the very same one this case came with, they work but ehh, cant definitely hide modular wires its a good case i bought elsewhere for less than 40 bucks, sry newegg. It is worth it id get once again if they are the very same cost when i i develop another pc

Superior case, alot of fan spots. Enjoy the side window. Manual was horrible. Set that factor on fire.

Verry nice look.. doesn't take a lots of space but that come with a downside. When you have to "play" in your computer, it doesn't offer a lots of space.

Appearance - all black actually nice searching, good 120 fan in the front with a subtle but present blue lightFunction - Case opens from both sides - tool-much less installation of CD drives and HDD's - MB mounting plate is raised to promote ventilation - vents are EVERYWHERE with little mesh filters - bottom mounting PSU space - top access to USB and headphone jacks - light weight. Materials seem a bit low grade but undoubtedly excellent sufficient. I'm not a fan of the 1 time use tabs for pci stuff or the 1 time pop out drive bays. This is an amazing case with Numerous selections to mount other fans (which I intend to do). I bought this as a combo and I am not dissapointed. I built the personal computer yesterday so naturally my experience with the product isn't truly that comprehensive but I intend to re-review this product if my opinion modifications.

Would definitely recommend for a mid-end gaming system. Always love finished interiors, especially when there is a window. Was easy to work with. The weaknesses dont outweigh the price for this case though so i would still definitely recommend this to friends.

For the cost you get features of much more expensive cases. The light weight makes it a pleasure to move the case around while installing parts. The flimsiness mentioned by other reviewers isn't a factor once the computer is assembled. Great case for those who aren't going to install massive radiators and a million drives.

I bought this case a month or so ago to upgrade my case in order for me to water cool. I installed yate loon black/red 120mm fans in there and it looks beautiful.I love the fact that the PSU is mounted on the bottom. There isn't much room for cable management however I got it done and hid all my cables beside the hard drive bay.I like the fact that the 120mm fan on the front can be installed on the OUTSIDE and the front panel can still be correctly attached, this gave me room to have all my hard drives & their cables facing the front of the case (hiding the cables in the side panel view.)Overall this case is awesome with red LED's, red/black yate loons, and my MCR220 modded to the top of the case. I'm loving water-cooling and I'm loving this case.I miss my Thermaltake SopranoRS101 though... I would have preferred to do water-cooling in that case. The thermaltake has way better build quality, the metal on that is very stern. The piano plastic finish on the thermaltake is what still rocks my socks.This case is alright... I give it 75%.

I bought this with no additional fans at first and it ran very hot with a stock Phenom II X4 955 and a RADEON HD 5770. Bought all fans for every space I had and it's a little better, but not awesome by any mean... Very flimsy too. It's cheap so I guess it can do for budget build.

I got a faulty case first. I didnt expect coolermaster would have low quality case. I thought it is a good brand. Afterall, it worked fine. I would think before my next purchase with coolermaste.

Aside from its flaws, it's a very good case. It is very light, cheap and good quality.I recommend it without problem

I am very impressed with this case, except for the negative thing I wrote. The problem is the fans are too tight to the motherboard, and if you do not screw in the mobo first, the fans block the motherboard screws. If you are using a radiator, you may not have enough room. If fitting fans at the end of your build is not an issue, and you do not plan for a radiator, these are the best case you can get...at any price!. YES A THERMALRIGHT ULTRA 120 WILL FIT EVEN WITH THE FANS!
