Cooler Master Elite RC-334-KKN1-GP Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Lots of good things: Lightweight, color is beautiful and simple (I love the silver on black). Comes without a power supply so you can make the choice yourself. Good toolless system with a large amount of internal bays (6 3.5"). The toolless system is very user-friendly unlike some. Front of case is all mesh but does not dent without effort. Both ATX and mATX boards have fit great in it so far. Adding in another fan makes for great airflow and there is a spot for another 120mm on the front of the case.

Power button placement could be better, but after a short amount of time, I have begun to like it.

Cons: There are more slight inconveniences than cons:

The hasp that secures the expansion cards to the case is somewhat weak. I fixed this not by removing it but by bending the catch downward a slight bit. This allowed it to get a better hold.

The sheet metal is a little flimsy. I've learned to be careful with my cases after handling weak OEMs. Just treat this case gently and it will last.

Power button is in a non-standard location and is a part of the front-right molding.

Need to remove the opposite side panel to install drives without a hassle.

Overall Review: The case is a do-all case. Don't use it as a bookshelf or footrest and it will stay in good condition. I bought it intending to use it for a mid-level gaming system but since my new mobo is dead, I decided to use it for my home server. I dropped in an ATX P4 board and started using it for that.

I'll be back to buy another and will probably get this one again.

This case is slick looking if you like minimal bells and whistles.

Pros: Nice looking.

Cons: Power and reset switched placed oddly. Granted the case is 'par' for other cases, but when you have a GTX260 in it, you lose 2-3 slots for hard drives. The 'toolless' brackets that hold said drives, disassemble themselves fairly easily.

Overall Review: You grab the case on the edges... that's where the power and reset are....

Now on the GTX 260... I plan to SLI a pair... When I do that, I will lose 4-5 slots for HDDs... I plan on getting a new case prior to that as I want a raid array of at least 4-5 drives.

If you have just basic needs, 1-2 drives and 1 large video card, and 1-2 optical drives, this is the case for you.
