Nice case!
Pros: Had enough room for what I bought (hardware in "other toughts"). Nice design, all flat black, 4 drive bays. Feels quite sturdy.
Cons: No usb 3.0 in the front, But you know it before you buy anyway, and for 60 bucks with a 500w psu you can't really expect this. Thumb screws to unlock the side panels... Only two 120mm fan supported, and one smaller on the side panel. (which I can't install because my cpu heatsink is too big.) No "back wire storage", you have to use the good'ol zip ties to maximize your airflow.
Overall Review: I would Buy again for a smaller project, its perfectly fine. Setup: CPU: FX-8120 8 [email protected] Mobo: M5A97 R2.0 Mem: Kinston Hyper X 1600 (2x4gb) Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo 120mm GPU: MSI Radeon HD 6570 1GB Case: Cooler Master RC Elite 350 PSU: Cooler Master 500W PSU
Nice sounds, but buggy
Pros: Sound is GREAT Bass and higher pitch are both very clear 7.1 for a good price Soooo comfortable
Cons: Quite frequently, the sound shuts off for a good 30 seconds, aswell as the mic, and this may happen very often in a shoirt period of time Battery life tends to be good, but sometimes lasts for only an hour or two for some reason A bit disapointed in the range in which the wireless works but it's not really a big issue, I just like it when I can get out of the room and still chat but not possible with this headset.
Gorgeous
Pros: -Tempered glass is day and night compared to standart plexiglass + steel frame -lots of space in main bay. Lots of space behind for cables. Lots of space in PSU dedicated spot for even more cable management -Makes for super good airflow -Wide, will fit tall GPUs -feels very sturdy -Price
Cons: -Power button is the only part that feels cheap

Watch out for shipping time if your in eastern canada! Great MOBO none the less
Pros: -Nice board, has everything you need and more -killer e2500 LAN is great -RGB if thats your thing and overall look is sweet -MSI bios is very user friendly in my opinion -4 sata cables, sli bridge
Cons: -Pricy 300 series overpriced intel stuff. Bunch of... !
Overall Review: -The. Shipping. From. Accross. The. Country. Is. Bad. Ordered everything for my pc in one go on Nov. 8th at 1pm, hey great! Payment passed, got a few tracking numbers and shipping notifications emails within a couple hours. November 9th, 1pm, Purolator at my door with a big box ; HYPE. Motherboard not inside, proceed to check my emails. Find mobo tracking which was PUROPOST instead of purolator, and see it SOULD arrive on november 17th. Hype killed... go through half the weekend, go back to the tracking page to see if by any miracle it would arrive a bit sooner; now it should arrive on november 20th. Pretty much died inside at this moment. But hey it ended well, i got it on nov. 14th by miracle!
Keeps it cool
Pros: -i7 8700k @60 peak or so during stress -looks a whole lot better than that big block I had on my old cpu (hyperx 212 evo on an FX8120) -quiet, really didnt expect that much... quietness?
Cons: -Quite big, make sure it fits (pcpartpicker is a nice way to make sure everything will fit) -Tricky install when you never done it, easy install if you done it at least once before -not a lot of thermal paste on contact plate, added just one more little drip just to make sure
SSD fast
Pros: -Faster than HDD -cheaper than NVME -Good comprimise between the two above -275 gb for 110$ CAD is worth it imo -EZ install EZ life.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Would recommend unless something better or bigger in terms of storage is on sale. Worth it for me
