Edit: 10-13-2020-Still using the case, it works great! Note: **You absolutely CAN fit a radiator in the top of the case. ** I have pictures included from my original install that plainly show that it is possible, and even easy.The price has gone up a bit, probably from how popular the case is, but it's well worth it!_______ original review below__________________I've included screens of my build. Hopefully you can see on the bottom just how "clean" you can make this. I have no external HDDs or SSDs and am using two M.2 drives to make for an extremely quiet build. If you don't read my whole review, be sure to go to the end where I mention something that messed with me for about 2-3 hours that I finally figured out. (A mysterious SATA3 connector.)Going to list off the "pros" of this case:1. The unobtrusive "cutouts". Cable management is a thing! And they do a great job here on this case. Along the bottom where your MOBO meets the case, there are several small holes that you can hardly see until you buy the thing. If you look at my attached pictures, you can get the idea how I ran the cables up through the bottom and did a quick loop back to plug in items like the HD Audio, USB 2 and in my case, the ARBG cable, etc.2. Great cutouts on the sides. I expect to get middle cutouts -but these have some nice rubber padding that keeps a minimum of light from showing through. Additionally, they had the perfect set up for hiding the CPU power at the top of the case/mobo as well. (Look closely at the top left to see what I mean...)3. Airflow. It's hard to get a really good feel for just how much flow is available, but the way they situated the glass panel in the front, and cutouts under the fans as well as on the sides means a TON of air flows through the case. As an added effect, when you look directly at the side of the case, the vents almost GLOW with the color of the fans. I built cases for 20 years and basically poo-poo'd the idea of RGB lighting (or even just plain red or green lights on fans) for years. But about a year ago, I finally got on board, and this case REALLY makes RGB lighting come alive.4. The fans. Lots of complaints from current buyers for some reason. Again, I have no HDDs, though I do have a radiator. I also have the Asus ROG Strix x470 mobo - and it comes with an automatic fan adjuster (that works with overclocking). I'm running my CPU at a consistent 4000Ghz (about an 8 or 10% overclock) and it runs BELOW room temperature. That's with a coolermaster liquid cooler and this case fans on it. Yes, they stay on and only have one speed, but all things considered, it's super quiet, looks great, and does the job beautifully.5. The glass panels and the metal panel cover on the back. The glass is legit. It's HEAVY. I've also dropped it, and it's durable. I love the grommets they use - it's the first time I've had glass panels that the screws stayed right inside the panel, and it's got elegant hooks on the bottom that make re-attaching the cover the .. seriously, bar none, and I've been a data center sys admin for 20+ years, and have probably put the covers on literally a thousand servers and desktops - the easiest cover to open, remove and re-attach of ANY PC/Mac/Tablet/Phone, etc etc - that I've ever touched.As for the metal cover - I love how easy it was to attach. I love that when I put the glass panel back on, since the metal is already lining all your cables up, it (again) makes the glass uber easy to put back on the case. (See my attached picture). All those cables (which include PCI-e and power for the MOBO, the fan cables for RBG and power, the case connectors, etc) - all tucked away, nice and neat under that metal panel.6. Bells and whistles. It's got an extra inch or two of width. Makes fitting in radiators on the top of the case actually a thing. (I had to shop around just to find a case that would do that!) If you read the instructions - and the fact it has its own RGB controller (though it's only a button on the top of the case, so it's rather simplified controls...) that's frickin' cool. USB 2 and 3 (two of each) on the top of the case. I love that the power button has RGB and you can control it. Never, EVER seen a case that let me change the power button color. (Or rotate it along with the rest of the fans, etc). Comes with FOUR fans (One is not RGB, though). Oh, and it's ARGB, if you have a controller (or MOBO) that can take advantage of it. That makes this case REALLY economical.Cons:As someone else mentioned, the area for your power supply is pretty tight. Be sure to test the size of everything first. I'm using a modular 750W PSU, and it fits fine, but I had to plug all my cables that I wanted in first - it just didn't fit/wasn't enough room to try to plug them in after it was tucked in. I originally put my PSU in first, before attaching the modular cables and had to take it back out...Please be sure to look at the advertising material about the case. The pictures that show where your radiator goes are accurate. I used a 240MM radiator on the top and it fits beautifully. (See attached pictures.)It doesn't have a ton of extra screws. That part is true. The instructions are not great. The fact that it ONLY has HDD lights and power switch may throw you for a loop. (I was thankful of this, quite honestly.) There is a connector that came with this thing that REALLY messed with me. It's a SATA3 connector. Just plug it into your power supply. I spent hours looking for what it was supposed to plug into.Other notes (and sorry this got so long! But, I wanted to make sure I put in all the information I could, because this case delivers a TON of value...)Also, the controller cable for the RGB fans included ARE compatible with Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte and MSI. Said controller allows you to use all those manufacturer's motherboards. (One review listed 3 of the 4 above, another person said a motherboard controller couldn't be used at all. Yet, in the bottom row of pictures in Cooler Master's Amazon description (above) in the middle picture you can see the cable right there that allows you to use 4 manufacturer's motherboards.) If you don't have that cable and need it, be sure to return the item and get a version that has the cable. It works great.If you don't have one of the above manufacturers, the button next to the power button works as your RGB controller. (Note: it's not a Reset button. This case only doesn't come with a reset cable or button. Only Power switch and HDD lights.TL;DR: Given that it comes with 4 fans, 3 of them are ARGB, and it's a slightly larger mid-tower that can accommodate a 2 fan radiator (hard to find for less than $150!!) - this is my new favorite case. No, the fans aren't the equivalent of an $80 set, but they're darn close. They are quiet, completely configurable and with all the other bits of hidden engineering (air flow, cut outs, cable management, compatibility with mobo manufacturers, etc) - you get more bang for your buck than nearly any other case.If you check out various review sites regarding this case, you'll see that they agree with me. ;) Nice job, Coolermaster!

This is arguably one of the better-valued PC cases that offer good airflow, well thought-off design including screen vents to showcase your power supply, tempered glass covers, including 3 ARGB intake fans, up to 240mm All In one CPU cooler radiator, and plenty of room to hide your cables inside the power supply shroud. The built quality is very good and priced at $124 USD. Things that I would improve on for Cooler Master, add the 4th ARGB for the rear fan instead of a non-ARGB fan that was included. The pass-through grommet for the GPU cable was only designed to line up with a dual fan. The triple-fan that I have made the cable kinda off-center. Other than that, this is a sold PC case. You will be happy with it if you like the aesthetics as I do.

its a nice case for the money, i like the glass on both sides and the panel that hides the wiring is extremely nice. my only complaints are the fan splitter was kind of confusing at first, but thats being nit picky, and that one of my ARGB fans have a LED that goes in and out randomly, which really kills any vibe of any light effect that i want, i was already going to buy a corsair fan kit but this makes you feel like you HAVE to, which is kind of ridiculous considering the fan kit is the same cost as this case, at the time, the last thing which isnt necessarily a problem but this should be default to me, is that the fans should be PWM, no one wants their fans constantly at full blast, this kills fans so much faster than anything in my personal experience. but if you already plan to replace fans, this is the case youll want for this price.

The media could not be loaded. This was the case I chose for my first PC build, and boy am I happy I made this choice.Coming from a HAF-X tower that I bought secondhand, this thing is a little harder to work inside of than a full tower (obviously), and if there’s really one thing you need to keep mindful of with this case it’s the PSU clearance! I’m running a Non-Modular Thermaltake 650w bronze rated, and it’s definitely a fairly snug fit with all of the cables. That, and my internal wire routing skills aren’t anything of a pro-level. Modular power supply is going to be the way to go with this case if you plan on building from the ground up.Secondly, the RGB lighting on the front of the case is controlled solely through the front panel and to my knowledge is not addressable through any type of RGB software. There’s a nice handful of neat patterns, nothing too fancy but definitely *just enough*.Installing hardware in the primary portion of the case was a breeze! The front panel came off without struggle for me to set up a 240mm push/pull Radiator, the motherboard standoff holes are lettered based off of the size of your board, AND there’s still plenty of room for future upgrades if I really want/need.I have 8 case fans excluding my GPU fans installed. I’m no whiner when it comes to noise, and I typically wear Razer Kraken Pro V2’s when on my PC, but I feel as if this case is pretty damn quiet. Audible, but not on an annoying level in any way and I’m sure that can be taken care of with the right fans.Only thing I could really see making this case any better is a built in RGB hub of some type to make all of the lights addressable from one program. But, I digress. I’m happy with my purchase.Cooler master is officially a company i’ll be standing by for the unforeseen future.————————————TLDR; If you’re a minimalist who wants simple RGB function in a beautiful tempered glass case with great airflow capability, and don’t mind a semi-tedious install given the tight spacing of the PSU, this is the case to go with. I have no regrets.
