COOLER MASTER Elite 311 RC-311B-BWN1 Blue Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: If your looking for a case this is it. Under 100 bucks. Side Window , overall well designed

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Buy it with confidence

Pros: Large enough to hold anything I'd need. The trays come out easily enough. (the bottom ones had to be drilled out)

Cons: The front audio connectors didn't work but that's fine since I prefer routing my headphones through the back.
The inside, back, and bottom aren't painted and are ugly with the offset color.
There aren't any top 120/140 mm fan options without a mod.

Other Thoughts: Well I put another $120 into this case doing a case mod project. ( ASUS RoG Themed) After an aluminum film along the sides and hot-rod red trim, top dual 120 mm fans with black honeycomb radiator, extended widow with acrylic, ASUS RoG logo on the window and in the mesh front, and black painted interior it looks fantastic. The orange/blue didn't look very nice though if it annoyed yo it's very easy to remove. (I just painted it black) For a modding project, it is a great case to use.

Pros: Has enough space and utility for upgrades and improvements, and awesome for any casual computer user. I personally admire the outside look.

Cons: The tailings of the cuts of metal for the 3.5" slots cut my hard drive casing! Must had to file all those sharp ends down. Also, 3 out of 9 of the standoff holes don't match with my motherboard.

Other Thoughts: Definitely not top-grade, but i feel i got a good deal on $50. Major upgrade from built-to-fit micro-atx case.

Pros: I picked up this case from my local PC Hardware shop on sale. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the room inside this case and the featureset for the price. It had all of the criteria I was after. Bottom mount PSU, cable management potential, water cooling grommets, and mounts for 3 x 120 mm fans. I would definitely reccomend the purchase.

Cons: Some of the edges in my case were not completely rolled so as others have said it could cut you. Other than this no issues. Not worth docking an egg over. People just need to be a bit more careful when using this one for builds.

Other Thoughts: The feature set of this case and the Cooler Master brand sold me on this from first site. Though I would also like to note that less experienced builders may want to take special care due the edges and how flexible the side panels are.

Pros: Has one (1) SSD mount on the bottom. My SSD bolted up perfectly. It is located in between the Power Supply and the useless lower 3.5" bay.

Wire routing works.

Cons: Sharp edges (did slice a knuckle). Flimsy window (don't press on it and you won't have a problem)

Pros: It's better and bigger than you think.
Has everything it should.
Cheap.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Took it 10 days to get to Chicago, Illinois.
If you buy it you will be satisfied, the whole front panel also comes off along with the two sides. There is a lot of room in the front for another fan so whoever wrote the review saying it's impossible, you're wrong.

Pros: -Bottom mounted PSU
-Good Cable Management
-Looks nice
-Great Value

Cons: -The blue ring on the front is not LED, the picture kinda makes it look like it is, not a big deal though, It would be cool if it was.
-motherboard tray is a bit flimsy but you get what you pay for with this case, still good for $50
-Could use another fan port

Pros: nicely finished. Has an unexpected feature: rubber dampeners for the power supply.

All screws labeled in contained in individual resealable bags

Cons: Small things keep it from being a 5 for the price. If you have a fan up front, then you really cannot use the lower 2.5" tray, as it is riveted to the frame, too bad, as I already instead the fan first upon realizing this. There is a "tool-less" version, that gives you clips, from the "Plus" edition (see instructions... it mentions it). I don't feel like drilling out the rivets to correct this, and use its full functionality, via a couple more screws.

Could of done a better job with tucking in the ground cable of the front AV panel. I can see myself pinching it, and then wonder why it didn't work.

The Power Supply "filter" grate is not removable. Not a big concern for a HTPC system.

The front panel filter...you can probably remove it a few times before the metal "clip" from the grate breaks.

Pros: Good airflow, only heating problem I have had was from thinking I'd properly attached the heatsink and missing one of the corners, decent room for mobo and pci cards. Lots of 3.5" drive bays and 5.25" drive bays. Love the window, and it looks decent.

Cons: Not the greatest case for cable management, they make an attempt to let you hide cables, but there isn't really room on the back side of the case after you run power to your mobo and elsewhere, so I ran a bunch under the bottom of the 3.5" side facing bays and they seem hidden since you can't see them from the window. It's difficult to install the front fan on this case. And the 3.5" bays that face front to back make it difficult (though not impossible) to place a HD and connect to my sata ports and almost bump against my GPU. Annoying but not enough to dock more than an egg.

Other Thoughts: Asus P8Z77 M Pro
i5-3350 3.1 Ivy
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 550w
G. Skill 4x2gb ram
EVGA SC GTX 660 2gb (in process of rma-ing)
Seagate barracuda 'green' 1tb 5900rpm

Pros: perfect window, the case keeps everything cool and quiet. if they had painted the inside the same way as the outside and left more cable management room I would play at least twice as much

Cons: very little cable management room and it's hard to get an atx motherboard into it. I might take the back fan out
