Perfect size

Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX Computer Case with USB 3.0 and Long Graphics Card Support - Black
Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX Computer Case with USB 3.0 and Long Graphics Card Support - Black

Pros: Perfect size case. I just built my first Mini-ITX system and love it! It takes a full-size power supply. I am running the ASRock E350M1/USB3 motherboard and the Corsair CX430 power supply and it went together without a hitch besides no USB3 connector on that motherboard for the front USB3 port but that motherboard does have a rear usb3 on the motherboard so that helped.

Cons: None.

Most Critical Review

Worked Good but older hard drive installed

Pros: Fast and clean

Cons: The manufacture date on the PC was 10/02/2014 but the refurb Harddrive had a manufacture date of 12/4/2011. That is over 6 years old which means it could die at any time. Fortunately, I ordered a new SSD with it and this one will be a secondary drive.

Great Product

Pros: Looked new. Still had the plastic wrap on the case. Fast processor.

Cons: Showed that it did not have a VGA but came with a VGA port so all is good. Showed that it had only one DVI port and that it came with an adaptor. It had one VGA and one DVI so no need for the adaptor. So this is really a Pro for me.

Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend to others! It came with 12GB of Ram. One 8GB and 1 4GB stick. It will take up to 16GB. I did not see that it was really needed. I looked at replacing the 4GB stick with an 8GB strip of the same Samsung memory but it was a little pricy. I like keeping the memory paired the same and it was almost cheaper to get two more matched 8GB sticks. I will hold off until the prices come down some. I added a Samsung SSD 850 EVO drive and imaged the installed drive over. You will need a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter for the SSD drive. I did not check the boot up speed of the old drive but it was not very fast. The new SSD drive boots in 15 seconds. Smoking fast!

Great Unit but original HD

Pros: Great Unit! Clean as a pin! Everything looked brand new. Barebone Windows install and came with a Microsoft Windows Refurb CD, keyboard, mouse and power cord.

Cons: I emailed the vendor - Joys Systems to ask if it came with a new hard drive as this was about a 4 year old system. They said it was a new hard drive. It did have a 2013 date that Joy Systems put on the hard drive but the original manufacture date from the the Vendor(I think it was Western Digital) was a 2009 date so I was disappointed in their claim. I am keeping the system but wished they had been more truthful. I let them know as well.
