i just got my cheapo mini tower from cooler master which is elite 361, a better version of elite 360. i choose this case because it is lightweight 4.8kg, small and slim, and easily portable, equipped with USB 3.0, high profile graphic card, this case also can fit regular ATX motherboard and ATX power supply / PS2.
at front panel, there is a USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0.
For front air intake, there are small ventilation spaces at the side of front panel.
Interiorly, there is 5 HDD slot, 1 5.25" bay. Power supply located at the front. top 120mm fan is supplied with the case, the rest u have to buy yourself.
slot for power supply, optical drive, 3.5" drive
cable management option. it has area for managing CPU fan, which sometime i require to open it for cleaning purpose.
front panel is easily removed because it use clip. for fitting HDD, it is tooless.
so far im very please to have this USD 30 chassis,
contrast that i found are such as
- small front intake fan which is 80mm, which is less efficient for HDD cooling
-my power supply doesnt have 120mm at the bottom, so it might be a bit hot
-non removable HDD cage, i hope i t can be removed for better air flow
-easy finger print on case
-only one fan supplied
-only one top fan slot
-quite heavy such a small case, but it is a steel, not aluminium
-no acrylic panel option
-optical drive will be vertical if this case put vertically.
that is it.
my power supply is a bit bigger, so dvd drive cannot be fixed properly. mine is antec green 430 watt.
