Cons: Cable management is non-existant. I had to pull cables around in strange directions to get everything in place. And since it's in front of a window, I had to hide it extra well. It looks great now though.The one thing I hate about windows is that if there is no black interior, it looks really out of place inside. I would have preferred a nice black interior.PSU is on top. Nowadays, it's just better to have bottom mounted power supplies. Who knows when the power supply will fall off the mounts. Only time will tell.Dust. No filters, so a lot of dust builds up. I will be very sad the day I have to open the case just to vaccuum out some dust. The dust builds a lot in the front, around the trim, since there is a mesh vent. Good concept, and a good dust attractor.
Pros: Great look and style. Very simple, but elegant. Glossy front, with a very nice black exterior. Blue LEDs complement the blue trim.Window. Always nice to look inside to see that everything is running nicely.Screwless side panels, with a latch that allows you to put a lock in to stop burglars at LANs. Good size, compact, but fits my ATI Radeon 4870 nicely with a bit of room.The case sits on my desk, so it is perfect for it to have the front USBs near the bottom. For some users, it will be more of a hassle.Very good ventilation. My computer is rarely hot, only the power supply gets hot. This is with just two fans in as well (stock and cpu). I can't imagine the air flow with 2 more extra fans. There is a lot of space to wrap unneeded wires in, if you're not planning to overload this case. If you are, invest elsewhere. Comment:
This is an excellent budget case. It's compact, but not too small to be cramped. It looks amazing for a $50 case. The design is simple and basic, but it still looks and works great.Logo is unobstrusive, or however you spell it. It's not gigantic, but it's not miniscule. It fits very nicely.Noise level with one fan at default speeds is meh. I don't care about sound, because I use headphones. Some might worry though. It sounds like a slow hum right beside me on the desk, so under the desk would be very bareable. Here it is just on the line. Not bad, but not silent.This case is built just for an average user. No fancy stuff. Exactly what you would expect in a case for a great price.My paranoia about the PSU falling out is making me consider other cases. Not as an insult to the case, but I am really scared. Doesn't stop it from its full 5 stars though. Great job from Cooler Master. |

Cons: No easy open/close pci-card mechanismNo screwless drive latchesNo case speaker
Pros: One of the best looking cases in its price class Comment:
I was literally shocked to see the case looking so awesome in real life that i can not describe my amazement. I thought it'd be a dull looking case and i honestly wasn't expecting much for $50.Its not the user friendly but looks beautiful. The front has a glossy mirror polished finish and the side window looks beautiful. Everything unscratched, well packaged and generally kickass. If you won't be tinkering around with this case often its by far the most economical and beautiful looking decision you'll ever make |
This case makes my components temperatures skyrocket compared to the Antec Sonata I used to keep them in. Without the Side panel off my videocard will overheat and cause artifacts. I cannot keep the same overclock I used to have as the case heats up. Some of this may be due to the fact that my video card reaches almost all the way to where the hard drives sit. Also I have installed a fan on the side in hopes it would help, but it doesn't do much. If you're looking for a cheap good looking case, and your components don't generate much heat then this is a good case.
