Cooler Master - Elite 430 Mid-Tower Chassis

This Cooler Master case is an excellent case for the money. I did quite a bit of searching during an off season (read: not Black Friday or any other special sales) before I came across this case. I needed a case to assemble a 6-core gaming PC from my old motherboard and AMD CPU into to sell on Craigslist. The case looks fantastic, and is good enough for daily usage, but isn't overly high quality. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it's basically like buying a Honda Fit instead of an Audi S4. It accomplishes the same jobs, but doesn't have high-end anything. If you need an affordable ATX case, this one is probably the best you're going to find for the money unless there is a sale somewhere on something.

all in all this pc case is very good for all kind of things so yes. buy it now people stop waiting.

I have built probably 7-8 of my own computers now and I have to say this is the best case I have every worked with. 1. Its black inside.. no ugly metal showing - this makes it much neater inside. See pics I attached.. image how ugly a plain metal backdrop would be that most cases have. 2. Cable management is so easy with this case.. its easy to route what I need behind and out of sight. 3. For the price, I was very surprised at how well the sides fit on and come off... some of them are such a pain to line up (my antec 900 for example can be quite a pain). My only "complaint" is that only 1 fan is included, but I found a 4 pack of 120mm fans for $13 shipped on a "egg" site.. For this price 1 fan is fine, Im still saving a lot over some other cases out there.

The tower is very simple and it does not have any extras but for the price it was a good deal. The top two fans 120mm would not fit in after I put in my motherboard. I had to find a 15mm thick fan instead of the usual 25mm fan. The bottom 120mm fan would not fit in with the 650 watt power supply that I had chosen so I had to put in a smaller fan.

This is a very nice case for the money. I have 2 already. It looks very nice and the air flow is excellent. If you overclock you won't have any problems with that. Managing the cables requires a bit of ingenuity. If you need perfect cable management this case would not please you. For my needs it was immaterial.

it is a good case i like the vents on the top and i like the design i only have two issues with it one it does not come with a cover for the back to cover up the onboard devices like USB, Network, sound, video now i have just an open hole in that area good thing it is in the back

this computer case was a great find for me. it works great for gaming and quick changes to the motherboad with easy access.

This is a great case for it's price, i bought it for $40. It is everything you would expect from a budget case and more. All black case which will easily hide your wires, and a clear "see through" side panel to show the led lights within your case. comes with abundance of mounting screws. Quality is better than what you would expect for it's price. *Bonus, it comes with top & bottom fan filters to keep dust from entering the case. The Cons: don't be fooled by the top dual 120mm fan mounts, they are spaced too far apart to mount the Corsair H100i water cooler, or other dual fan radiators. Secondly , the mainboard is mounted too close to the top, depends on which board you have, you only have about 20 to 30mm between the case & the RAM placed on your mainboard. The fan slot on the bottom of the case is very close to the PSU, so if you have a large PSU you may not be able to place a 120mm fan, and/or a fan at all. I recommend this case to everyone that will be using "air cpu cooler" on a budget for a decent looking case. p.s. you will need to buy 3-4 extra 120mm fans as the case only comes with 1, i like to pick my own brand/model of fans which is great .
