Cooler Master - Elite 430 Mid-Tower Chassis

This Cooler Master case is an excellent case for the money. I did quite a bit of searching during an off season (read: not Black Friday or any other special sales) before I came across this case. I needed a case to assemble a 6-core gaming PC from my old motherboard and AMD CPU into to sell on Craigslist. The case looks fantastic, and is good enough for daily usage, but isn't overly high quality. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it's basically like buying a Honda Fit instead of an Audi S4. It accomplishes the same jobs, but doesn't have high-end anything. If you need an affordable ATX case, this one is probably the best you're going to find for the money unless there is a sale somewhere on something.

all in all this pc case is very good for all kind of things so yes. buy it now people stop waiting.

it is a good case i like the vents on the top and i like the design i only have two issues with it one it does not come with a cover for the back to cover up the onboard devices like USB, Network, sound, video now i have just an open hole in that area good thing it is in the back

I have built probably 7-8 of my own computers now and I have to say this is the best case I have every worked with. 1. Its black inside.. no ugly metal showing - this makes it much neater inside. See pics I attached.. image how ugly a plain metal backdrop would be that most cases have. 2. Cable management is so easy with this case.. its easy to route what I need behind and out of sight. 3. For the price, I was very surprised at how well the sides fit on and come off... some of them are such a pain to line up (my antec 900 for example can be quite a pain). My only "complaint" is that only 1 fan is included, but I found a 4 pack of 120mm fans for $13 shipped on a "egg" site.. For this price 1 fan is fine, Im still saving a lot over some other cases out there.

The tower is very simple and it does not have any extras but for the price it was a good deal. The top two fans 120mm would not fit in after I put in my motherboard. I had to find a 15mm thick fan instead of the usual 25mm fan. The bottom 120mm fan would not fit in with the 650 watt power supply that I had chosen so I had to put in a smaller fan.

This is a very nice case for the money. I have 2 already. It looks very nice and the air flow is excellent. If you overclock you won't have any problems with that. Managing the cables requires a bit of ingenuity. If you need perfect cable management this case would not please you. For my needs it was immaterial.

this computer case was a great find for me. it works great for gaming and quick changes to the motherboad with easy access.

This case is my first Cooler Master and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised. The documentation provided was better than most I've purchased. I was impressed that it had bottom for the power supply, which I have come to prefer. It also has a filter medium on the outside bottom of the case so that the air is filtered before it goes through the PS. Dirt inside the case is an enemy! It causes premature component failure so having the filters helps greatly. Also, the see-thru side panel will make it easy to see if and when it does get dirty and need cleaning. The drives were very easy to mount. I had no problems with this case whatever. Also, having the ventilation in the top of the case was something that should have been done so long ago...hot air rises! You can add fans (2) to the top if you want but since hot air rises I don't believe there's a need. My only negatives concerning this case was the price, which I think could be about $10 less, and the use of BLUE led's! I wish they would go to green led's because the blue led's are too bright!!! Alright, I know they aren't actually, that it's just US humans that preceive them to be brighter, but they are very disturbing if you don't shut down the computer, especially at night. I have family and friends that have been kept awake at night by the flashing blue led from the next room across the hallway.
