Cooler Master combined classic and modern design in the RC-330-KKN1-GP, to create a case that will last. Housing four 5.25" and two 3.5" external drive bays it gives you more room than most people would ever use. It gives easy access to the two USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports by placing them front and center. They finished this with a classic two toned black and silver appearance to create a classic look for years to come.
That's just the exterior, though. The interior is where it really shines. The five 3.5" internal hard drives will give you plenty of storage space. The front vents feature an ingenious vent system that feature an easy to clean filter. The rear 120mm fan will have no trouble pulling the cool air in, and the side air duct will enjoy expelling the hot air from your CPU.
Creating the perfect system will be quick and painless proposition with this case as well. Each and every drive bay, both internal and external, features tool free installation, as does the side panel and the seven expansion slots. Make it easy on yourself. Get a case that will support your frequent "tweaks" and changes without skinning your knuckles or cramping your hands. This case will leave your hands healthy for manipulating that keyboard!

I had my doubts, but in the end, all is well.
- Pros: Good price, nice construction. Screw-less mounting for your drives and expansion cards. Both of which work very well and are quite clever. The entire front of the case is essentially a filter (metal mesh with thin foam behind it).
- Cons: It is advertised as having two external 3.5 bays, but one of them is actually taken up by the front USB/audio. If you need two external 3.5 bays, you will lose those features. Front USB is also a bit tight, to the point it feels like I might bust the ports right through the front of the case. While it is nice that the front of the case has the filter material, the only way to clean it is to take the whole front of the case off, and pull out all the individual pieces of foam.
- Other Thoughts: I was really worried about getting this case without there being a prior review, but I can say now that I am happy I went with it. The case is very well made, and at a fair price. It also affords good ventilation, with the advantage of having the entire front panel acts as a filter for the front fan (which is not included, but the case has ample mounting room for one). I have only very minor problems with this case, and would absolutely buy another.
Good Small Server Case
- Pros: I have a few of these cases and in my opinion is one of the best designed small cases around for the price. Great airflow and cooling when used with a second 120mm fan. I should know because I am running 4 SCSI 10k drives with a dual processor motherboard in this case. Like other Cooler Master cases it is well designed and has a professional look that would make it feel at home in a server room or an office.
- Cons: The only con about this case that I have is the quick fasteners for the drives. I think that they would work ok if you are using a slower drive than 10K RPM but my drives were vibrating more than my liking. So I removed all of the fasteners and used screws to fasten my drives into the case which solved this minor issue.
- Other Thoughts: This case is well worth the money, it is designed well and you get what you pay for and then some. Do yourself a favor and pick up another 120mm fan for the front of the case while you’re purchasing it and it will keep your entire case cool.

- Pros: Looks nice.
- Cons: Two problems: The power switch would stick and cause the computer to reboot at random. It took a long time to figure out this problem. I even had the motherboard replaced. All for a 5 cent part!
The other problem is a very weak ventilation fan. My system would overheat on hot days. I replaced the fan and the switch and all is well now.
love it
- Pros: cheap, looks nice, free shipping,
- Cons: Case material is thin but not a con for I don't plan on rolling it down the stairs. Power supply would be nice.
- Other Thoughts: Cheap, looks nice, buy it.
SECC definition
- Pros: I love CoolerMaster cases - well built. I have the HAF 922 and it's awesome.
- Cons: n/a
- Other Thoughts: To answer the previous poster Eeeee's question on what does SECC stand for. It means Steel, Electrogalvanized, ColdRolled, Coil.
