Cooler Master combined classic and modern design in the RC-330-KKN1-GP, to create a case that will last. Housing four 5.25" and two 3.5" external drive bays it gives you more room than most people would ever use. It gives easy access to the two USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports by placing them front and center. They finished this with a classic two toned black and silver appearance to create a classic look for years to come.
That's just the exterior, though. The interior is where it really shines. The five 3.5" internal hard drives will give you plenty of storage space. The front vents feature an ingenious vent system that feature an easy to clean filter. The rear 120mm fan will have no trouble pulling the cool air in, and the side air duct will enjoy expelling the hot air from your CPU.
Creating the perfect system will be quick and painless proposition with this case as well. Each and every drive bay, both internal and external, features tool free installation, as does the side panel and the seven expansion slots. Make it easy on yourself. Get a case that will support your frequent "tweaks" and changes without skinning your knuckles or cramping your hands. This case will leave your hands healthy for manipulating that keyboard!

Convenient Front I/O PanelThe convenient front I/O panel enables easy access to two USB 2.0 and two audio ports.
Pros: Good price, nice construction. Screw-less mounting for your drives and expansion cards. Both of which work very well and are quite clever. The entire front of the case is essentially a filter (metal mesh with thin foam behind it).
Cons: It is advertised as having two external 3.5 bays, but one of them is actually taken up by the front USB/audio. If you need two external 3.5 bays, you will lose those features. Front USB is also a bit tight, to the point it feels like I might bust the ports right through the front of the case. While it is nice that the front of the case has the filter material, the only way to clean it is to take the whole front of the case off, and pull out all the individual pieces of foam.
Overall Review: I was really worried about getting this case without there being a prior review, but I can say now that I am happy I went with it. The case is very well made, and at a fair price. It also affords good ventilation, with the advantage of having the entire front panel acts as a filter for the front fan (which is not included, but the case has ample mounting room for one). I have only very minor problems with this case, and would absolutely buy another.
