5.0 out of 5 stars Best Case I've Ever Seen..., September 2, 2007

This review is from: Cooler Master Elite 330 ATX Mid Tower Case Black - (RC-330-KKN1-GP) (Personal Computers)

Got this case to do a partial upgrade...due to heat issues with a bargain case which looked good...but had few ways to cool the components. Saw this on Amazon & other websites...read the specs & reviews of others & I was hooked.

The only thing the reviews did not mention was to clean the front panel air filters...the best things to have are either canned air or a hair dryer. This way you can blow them out from the inside & snap the front back onto the whole case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb case, yet very inexpensive, too!, February 21, 2010

This review is from: Cooler Master Elite 330 ATX Mid Tower Case Black - (RC-330-KKN1-GP) (Personal Computers)

I was extremely fortunate to run across the Elite 330. Not only is it incredibly inexpensive, it's also one of the shortest ATX full towers on the market (it is the _only_ full tower chassis I've found which would fit under my kitchen cabinet). Mine has been through quite a few upgrades over the last three years (three motherboards, five different CPUs, five graphics cards, three power supplies), and it's been an absolute delight throughout. What truly sets it apart is the ability to start with quite a low-end configuration, yet still enable you to upgrade to truly first class performance (for example, one of my configurations in this box was the second-highest scoring performer on HWBOT on PCMark Vantage for a while).

To give you an idea of the amount of space it offers in this small package - while supporting outstanding cooling - here's its current configuration:

- i7-860 Quad CPU OCed to 4.0 GHz (even LinX)
- MSI P55-GD80 MB, with 8GB DDR3 RAM@1600MHz
- Radeon 5970 graphics (12" long; was also SLI)
- 1200W ThunderPower power supply
- Areca 12 drive H/W RAID w/1 GB cache
- 5xHitachi 750GB drives in RAID0,5,and 6
- LG dual mode Bluray/HD DVD optical drive
- 4x120mm cooling fans (2 on CPU cooler, 1 on HDD mnt)
- Cooler Master CM50 H2O Cooler (was also air)
- Still an open 5-1/4" bay, and two 3-1/2" bays

This high end configuration works perfectly, offering great cooling. If you're looking for a compact, yet surprisingly roomy chassis which will support just about anything, the Elite 330 will not only fill the role quite well, it's the least expensive case on the market which offers this kind of flexibility. Beyond that, it also looks great. It's a terrific deal!

Cheers!
Mark

4.0 out of 5 stars A stylish and solid case, June 16, 2008

This review is from: Cooler Master Elite 330 ATX Mid Tower Case Black - (RC-330-KKN1-GP) (Personal Computers)

This case is perfect for the budget minded consumer who does not want another beige box. I found it was quite spacious inside, and was of very high quality.

However, there are many sharp edges inside and I cut myself multiple times building my computer. Be careful!
