Kitsune 5/18/2013 3:53:43 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Works Pros: Lots of ability to add fans - Added four fans to the single front one. Plenty of 3.5 inch bays Front drive bays vented Clear side. Cons: USB & Headphone ports on top Other Thoughts: Had an older case with only a single 80 mm rear fan Problem with overheating processor Needed to upgrade to give better cooling As received, the hard drive LED did not work. Contacted Coolmaster. Took a while but sent me not just a new LED module but a new power switch and front cover. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/17/2013 5:17:57 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Meh Pros: -cheap -nice -sturdy Cons: -HORRIBLE FOR CABLE MANAGEMENT -No Space for radiator of my H100 Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Nandito 5/13/2013 8:40:07 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 5/5Amazing Pros: This case is good if you're on a budget. Even if you aren't and you're just looking for something that's not too big or too small this case is perfect. It has a lot of room on the inside. It fits big GPUs like the, "Nvidia GTX 660 Ti". I like that the spots where you put the drives are screw less. This case has some great airflow. You just need to buy to buy the fans and your set. Cons: No cons. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/13/2013 2:01:27 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Awesome case Pros: Lots of space, great air flow, nice USB accessibility, easy install Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: It does have great air flow. I did have to get a better CPU heat sink and fan but that is because the one that came with the 8 core CPU itself was awful. All in all, this is a pretty good case for the money. It even fit all my gaming needs. Everything fits. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
SilverSurfer166 5/11/2013 12:48:09 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 4/5Made with the Builder In Mind Pros: Everything is easy to get too, even on the backside. Screwless drive bays, for 5.25 or 3.5. Lots of space to work with, and plenty of fan mounting options. I will always like the PSU mounted on the bottom, it makes the case have a better center of gravity, which keeps it stable. Cons: Not the most quiet case, even with gaskets around fans and silicone screws. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Pros: Great case. high quality from cooler master. plenty of space for fans and any other hardware you would need. great 120mm fan. plenty of options for cooling sturdy and well built Cons: the frontpanel usb and audio connectors could be longer there couldve been a little more room for cable management but its not that big of a deal since you can hide the majority of cables behind the hard drive and optical bays. Other Thoughts: Buy it. its cheap, perfect for a budget builder, and its cooler master quality! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Slawdog 5/2/2013 12:00:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Great deal Pros: Extremely cheap for what you get. Light but built well. Cons: No USB 3.0 on front. No real cable management options, but that's okay. Other Thoughts: I may upgrade to a new case in a year or so, but this works perfectly for now. Did you find this review helpful?

John 5/1/2013 12:07:24 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Awesome case Pros: - Lots of room - Looks great - Solid build - Tons of expansion options Cons: - None so far! Other Thoughts: I bought this case as part of an upgrade for my 3 year old HTPC. Granted this isn't the HTPC size but it fits perfectly and blends in nicely beside my home theater set up. The case has plenty of room for my 3 hard drives and I don't have to worry about any cooling problems with this case at all. I would highly recommend this case! Did you find this review helpful?
