You won’t regret this case on a budget
Amazing value for a very attractive computer case! I got this for $40 on sale, and it was worth every penny. The metal case is light and mostly strong. Some points are a bit delicate, like the front panel fans and gpu shield thing. The magnetic front panel is great for quick cleaning.My PC takes up less space while looking attractive and keeping my internals cooler than before. I appreciate the cover in the bottom of the case to hide the extra cables from my non modular power supply. Everything but the 3.5 drive bay from my mid tower case fit great into this case.

Great case for the price!
Amazing case, plenty of room to fit in components, I have seven fans on my mine 3 up top and 3 in the front, aamazing airflow, and usurpingly quiet! And for the price you can’t bear this bargain, just don’t put ASRock in it, had one with an AM5 socket it went bad within 3 months and customer service is awful!

Good, cheap, MATX case. Just think about the fans.
Great MATX case. Spacious for a mid-sized case and easy to build in. The lite version comes with one three pin fan. Nothing fancy. I took it out and installed other fans I already owned. Honestly, probably worth it for most to get the non-lite version with three better fans. Still, five stars for me since I was just looking for the cheapest, decent matx case with space for HDDs.

Good for first time builders
there’s plenty of room in this case; i’ve got pretty low-power parts in it right now, but there’s ample room for more fans and a larger gpu for future upgrades. cable management was fairly easy with a good few tie points, though i would strongly recommend installing the power supply into the case first and feeding the gpu power cables through before you install the motherboard. i didn’t do this and ended up needing to remove the motherboard to plug in the gpu. not a big gripe though it was a little tedious to do with the gpu already installed.good build quality, especially for the price; feels very sturdy and i couldn’t find a single sharp edge that someone might accidentally cut themselves on. love the magnetic filters for the power supply and front / top vents, super easy to remove and clean. you don’t even need to remove the side panel to clean the front panel filter, the front panel is also magnetic and pops right off

Hits the sweet spot
Definitely my go-to for a standard micro ATX case. Plenty of room, good cable management, and they’re well built. Also good for a mid-level gaming machine. Great cooling options as well.

Decent budget case, 1200mm fan is not the greatest, bad mobo standoffs.
*** I ordered (3) cases, one case came with wrong screw set and an Amazon refurbished paper inside the box which is not what I paid for.No foam support Decent budget case with a single 120mm exhaust fan pre-installed. The motherboard standoffs are a bit short and the motherboard screws which are included with the case cannot reach. I currently have a new build with only 4 screws holding the board in place because the other screws would not reach. Airflow is good for a budget case with plenty of options. The looks is nothing dramatic, I’m sure with a little bit of white lighting fans it could add to the appeal. Front panel is magnetic with decent grip and easily removable to reach the magnetic dust filter for cleaning.The included 120mm fan has a very low whine which makes it a bit annoying if you place the computer as a desktop next to you but should be fine if under the desk. I would replace this fan with a 4-pin PWM fan for better noise control.

Perfect if you’re building on a budget and have some extra fans on hand.
During my attempt to build a gaming / photo editing PC, I was looking for an affordable PC case, but most of the ones that I came across were way over my budget and in some cases, did not have a controller to switch the RGB color lights. I eventually came across the Cooler Master Elite 301 Lite.As the name implies, the “lite” model only comes with a fan in back, while the “regular” model comes with 3 RBG fans in front (but no fan in back). For me, as I did not want the whole “White RGB” PC look that everyone else seems to have, the lite model suited me better, as I would only have to replace one fan instead of three.The case is roomy and has plenty of space for cable management. The all black look works well, as I was aiming for the “blacked out” look. The fans and motherboard were easy to mount. Though the front panel threw me off, as I didn’t realize that it is held in magnetically and I had to pull down from the top to then remove it and access the front fan section.I did eventually take out the back fan, as I heard that it was not very good anyway and used a 5 pack of Thermalright TL-C12C fans.The dust filters seems ok, as I only had it for a short while. The weight is pretty manageable, even with the glass panel and components insides.I guess the only “complaint” that I have is that you might want to double check on the height size of the CPU cooler you will be adding inside. In my case, I went with the Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE, which has a height of 148mm and had just enough clearance to ensure it would fit without interfering with the glass panel.It also took me a moment to adjust having the power button and headphone jack on top of the case instead of on the front, but other than that, I really have no complaints and so far like this case.Overall, I highly recommend this case if you’re on a tight budget and have some case fans on hand to upgrade it.
