Great HTPC case

Cooler Master Elite 361 - Mini Tower Computer Case with 350W Power Supply and Rotatable Logo
Cooler Master Elite 361 - Mini Tower Computer Case with 350W Power Supply and Rotatable Logo

Pros: *Smaller *good layout *Can sit vertical or horizontal

Cons: *PSU is garbage *Comes with NO case fans Not a con but a small annoyance: 1. If you need to work with the front fan or PSU you have to take the front panel off the case, which, means you have to take all the side panels off too. 2. If you have to change the PSU, you will need to remove the motherboard. Makes what should be a 10-15 minute job a a 45-60 minute job. 3. GPU cooling fan location on the side/top of the case is worthless

Overall Review: This is a great little case and despite it's quirks, I like it. If I were going to build a lan box to take around i'd consider this case. Three things to do when you order this case: 1. a modular PSU is a MUST for decent cable management. This PSU is garbage. 2. It comes with no fans. you need to order 80mm fans at the same time you order this case 3. If you use a MATX board and GPU you need to also consider ordering a very thin 120mm fan for the top/side. The gpu only has about 15-20mm clearance between it and the side panel fan spot.

Great Cooler

LOGISYS Computer AC2200 92mm Hydro CPU Cooler
LOGISYS Computer AC2200 92mm Hydro CPU Cooler

Pros: *QUIET *Easy to install *Fit's great

Cons: None

Overall Review: Got this to replace the stock AMD cooler which was loud. It's on a windows server 2008 r2 based machine that handles webserver stuff and streams all my home media. This made the machine practically silent under load or not. I am going to be ordering another one of these to cool the 4100 in my HTPC as well
