Cooler Master Elite 341 Black Mini Tower Case RC-341 - MATX

Comment:
I'm very pleased with this case. It's definitely a strong value for the money. The only thing I don't understand is the thought process the designers used regarding the hard drive bays. It can be challenging to some.

Comment:
This is a very solidly built case that is easy to use and provides very good venting. It has the no tool features, but included is a big bag of little screws for about anything you can think of. I like the clean understated dignified look. It is sort of a Clark Kent exterior, but wonderful layout and features inside. This is by far and away the best constructed and designed layout in this price range.

Cooler Master is always my first choice in cases. They all allow plenty of air to move through them keeping things nice and cool. I like the no tool aspect as well. The one drawback I found with this build was the hard drive bay. I used a Asus M4A785-M mother board. With this board you can not use the lower hard drive mount in the case because of the SATA connectors. I had to move the hard drive up to the higher mount area. This may not be a problem with other motherboards but it sure was with this one.

Comment:
Good value for the price. Tool-less card slots and bays are nice and effective. Would buy again.

Motherboard fit right in. Quiet fan. SATA cables are your friend with this small case. Looks sharp, well built, and LEDs aren't too bright. MB: Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H

Let's see, I wanted small, cheap, and high quality, and I got everything I was looking for with this. CM always has something for everyone. Perfect amount of space, options, and looks, plus the ability to mount 4 really big highflow fans to cool off even a nuclear reactor. A must buy if you are limited on space and cash.

Used for my second build, top two bays for bluray and dvd slots, a 3.5 for 2 SSD enclosures, another HD inside at bottom, added 3 blue LED fans-2 at side, 1 front, the case comes with 1, a full sized video card, a sound card and a wireless pci card. I made the mistake of getting an mATX psu which of course didn't fit so I had to reorder a full size modular psu. It helps to have small hands to get those power connections in such tight spaces. It's quite packed and I'm surprised it hasn't blown up yet, the Coolermaster fans I got move a lot of air through, 1 intake, 3 out and quiet. I'm very happy with it. Planning to use it again to build one for my mom soon. And this site is superb, delivery in 2 days.

This case is a nice size and not hard to work in. I've been using mid-towers so it's a little cramped. You can't use the bottom mount for the HD 'cause it blocks the SATA conections on the mobo. Just have to use the upper. Nice little case.

Comment:
Hard to make connections while mobo is in case. Perfect for cramped work areas.

Comment:
Put a fan in the front. Works good. Little tight but that's what I wanted, a smaller case.

Comment:
No complaints, well except for the power and reset buttons making a click sound when you push them, but thats just my preference for non-clicking buttons. Maybe the hdd bays too, the second bottom kinda blocks the sata ports on the motherbaord (asus m4a785-m) and the first one kinda block the 3rd and 4th memory slots if your ram has heatsinks on 'em. Its was a tight squeeze but I improvised and forgave the cases small flaws. The airflow is great, its light, sturdy, simple yet professional styling, and its affordable.

Good case for the price. Only problem worth mentioning is the motherboard pan. All five cases I bought had a pan needing shimming of standoffs on the front corner. If you don't shim, you will be flexing your motherboard when you screw it down. Flexing a board that much can't be good for the long haul. So check, shim, and be happy. It's a good cheap case.

Comment:
WATCH OUT -- this case uses a regular psu, not a mATX psu. I double-checked and nowhere does the description say this. In fact, the recommendations on the right give a mATX psu as an option. The case itself is perfect and I don't have a problem with it.

I used this tower to upgrade a case (for a hp pavilion 360n) that was starting to fall apart. It was easy to transfer everything over. The bays snap or slide-lock into place, which beats screwing everything in. Great price for a tower. I'll probably purchase one of these to build a computer in the future.

Comment:
simple, quiet, solid, reasonable price.

Comment:
Simple to set up, good air flow and quiet too. I would definitely recommend

Comment:
Easy to work with, built new computer with this case. No-nonsense, inexpensive case.

Comment:
I have used many $40 MATX cases and this is the best by far. Perfect size with great air flow. There is room for four 120mm fans. It came with one very nice 120mm fan in the rear that had good air flow and also very quiet. The front audio jack connector also had an HD connector that will work with the new motherboards. Plus it is a no nonsense professional looking case.

Comment:
One of the the best looking and functional micro ATX cases out there. I built several systems using this case and liked it so much I will buy one for myself when their availble again.

Comment:
This is an inexpensive case, however fit was good and it felt solid when complete. Construction and plastic components are a little light, but everything worked well and fit was OK. It was solid when buttoned up. Just the size I wanted -- compact. I would definitely buy it again.

do what he need to do

Got all my parts to fit in nicely, construction of case, not bad. For the price, it's great and look's good to. For a builder you will like this case.

This product is as it says. It's a good case for building an entry machine. Does not cost much, has the basics, - front panel audio and USB 2.0 - has plenty of mounting screws.Only down was the mechanism for holding in the DVD-ROM broke. I just mounted it with screws. Great with: ASUS mATX board, 2 Gigs RAM, AMD Dual Core Processor, 2-120mm fans (1 included), 250 Gig HDD. It will take a video card, but may overheat because the case is small.Made a fine Ubuntu Linux machine.

I recently purchased this case based on online reviews. I wanted a case that was cost-effective, looked good, and was well-designed. This case is all of the above!!

5 stars to Coolermaster for some real nice quality work on this case and the layout is about 98% effective with all current hardware. I just received this case today and everything fit nice. I am using a ASRock N68-S which is a miniATX board with one PCI Express & two PCI slots to give you a actual size. This case has HD front audio connector better known as Azalia so if your board has onboard HD audio then your in luck, if you use the standard AC'97 audio then your in luck to because both the HD and AC'97 connctors are on the same wire. The only issue I have with it is currently my 3rd party GPU cooler for my XFX Geforce 9800GTis about 1/8 away from hitting my hard drive at the bottom which I have two hard drives, but if you have one hard drive then use the top holder for your drive and then you can put any cooler for your graphics.
