Cooler Master's Cavalier 3 blends strength, practicality, and beauty into one perfect case. It takes up arms against life's little troubles with a shield of steel, and keeps it light and cool with aluminum. There is "cool" to spare with its forward 80mm fan and 120mm rear fan, and the aluminum drive bay shield.
The Cavalier 3 boasts an exceptional five external 5.25" drive bays, one of the 3.5" drive bays, and the assurance of drive space with four internal 3.5" hard drive bays. It keeps the two USB ports, Firewire port, and two audio ports out of the way yet still accessible at its sides.
That same practicality continues with screwless drive cages and folded-over metal edges for easy and painless installation. The beauty of this case is at once part of its solid construction, and yet transcends it. This sleek black case will catch your eye with ease, bringing your desk a mystique of modern perfection for years to come.

Overall, a great Case.
- Pros: This case is well built and overall a great value. It looks great too! Plenty of room inside. I was glad to see the side funnel for the CPU was made for an 80mm fan to fit in it, and the funnel telescopes. Tool-less design is nice.
- Cons: As others have stated, the fans that come with it are quiet, but inadequate, plus they're not 3 pin if you want to monitor rpm. Case runs hot unless you replace the fans. The manual that comes with it is useless. It’s a big chore to remove the front panel to replace the front case fan. Since the manual only says "remove front panel" it is the 6 black screws inside the case that allow you to remove it. Also, the 4 pin molex connector on the front panel is for models with the VU meter since it’s not mentioned anywhere in the manual. If you wanted to use a filter for the front intake fan, forget it. Plan to blow the case out once a month. The door is reversible, but it does not look good any other way than the default. Cheap brass standoffs.
- Other Thoughts: I love the blue LED's on the front for the power and HDD indicators.
I wish the door magnets were a little stronger.
GREAT DEAL!
- Pros: This case is hard to beat..Unless you're upgrading because you want alot of "FLASH".It is smooth and the design says "Less is More".It looks/functions as good as it does in the pictures.The only thing it offers I didn't see originally is a 2nd fan behind the power/reset buttons to cool your HD's.I'm impressed.
- Cons: Well.. I'm waiting on my Power Supply because Newegg shipped this WAY fast...But None that are visible.
- Other Thoughts: I don't build these for a living ..Just for friends and Family. This is by far the best case I have seen in this Price range.

Great case for the price
- Pros: This is a very good case for the money. I do not have any issues with heat, and have owned the case for years.
I also bought the HTPC version of this case a few years ago that came with a power supply and all has worked greatwithout any issues.
For the price you cannot beat this case.
- Cons: Side vent should fit 120mm fan.
Nicer than expected
- Pros: I ordered parts for an entire new system from Newegg. One of the packages was delayed a day but I had to open the others to see my new toys. One was this case. The first night I took it out and just kept staring at it. It’s absolutely beautiful. It runs cool, it’s got a lot of space inside (no issues with video cards running into drive bays, SATA connectors coming off the back edge of a motherboard, etc.) and the tool-free design holds everything in place securely (although they leave the option for screws if you’re paranoid).
- Cons: This isn’t really a con but the front air intake is on the bottom of the case. Mine sits on a carpeted floor and the standard ~¼” feet sink into the carpet. I went to the hardware store and bought a set of 1” diameter furniture sliders designed to fit over furniture legs and slipped them on. They extended the standard feet by ~1/2-3/4 of an inch and now hold it off the floor and you’d never know anything had been done.
- Other Thoughts: To whoever said that the door only looked good one way, well, it only fits one way. You just slip the top and bottom hinge pins out and move them to the other side leaving the door the way it is.
Buy this. It’s a really great case.
CAV-T03-UW Issues
- Pros: Good aesthetic and solid design.
- Cons: Cooling is the major issue. Removing that side funnel is necessary to provide filtering on both panel ports and provide room for larger cooling devices such as Zalman. The air intake to the case should have been designed better and the case must be placed on a hard surface free of obstruction. A better rear 120mm fan and interior fan is recommended to prevent hot spots. The case itself has great potential, but I think a few decisions were rushed.
