Great Case for a Decent Price.

Strengths: Looks, size, nice quiet fan included.

Weakness: USB ports on front of case are too close to plug two thumbs drives in at once (I have Sandisk Cruzers), no included PSU for price.

I purchased this not realizing it did not come with a PSU. Luckily I had a spare PSU from another case I had just purchased. That is why I say "decent" price. As far as the construction is concerned. I think all is well. I welcome the use of thinner and lighter materials. I have a old Gateway 2000 case (Hercules ATX Tower Case) and even without a PSU the thing weighs as much as two of my newer...

Good, versatile mid-level case

Strengths: Designed well to work well with a lot of different configurations.

Weakness: Loses style for substance. Not as light small or easy as some.

The Cooler Master Elite 330 is a Mid Tower case, which basically means it's medium-sized. And "medium" or "balanced" might be the best word to describe it. ------------------- It's constructed well and seems durable, but the weight isn't too much. I especially like how firmly seated everything is, keeping my components from being knocked around or bent. However, if you want to lug it around, an...

Good Buy

Strengths: Good price, nice interior, good looking.

Weakness: Thin sides and side panel has hand turned screws to remove it.

Overall I think it was a good buy. It has everything I need in a case including a 120mm fan in the back and has a slot for another 120/80 fan in the front. It also has a side vent and a side mount for a fan or the funnel which give the CPU new area. It is a light weight, but it is a low priced case so I don't expect it to be the very best construction out there.

Good basic case but little flimsy

Strengths: Air flow and construction. Plenty of bays.

Weakness: Not the thickest case

I purchased this case for my garage computer. It's not the best case, but it performs as it should. Thanks to mesh front, it sucks cool air from the front, which is very good. It uses little thin steel plate, so it was not good for deadening noise or reducing vibration. Included rear 120mm fan was not noisy at all, rather pretty quiet. The case can be assembled without screw driver. You only...

Elite 330

Strengths: Pretty CPU Cooling advantages

Weakness: Power Switch Harness plug only a 2 prong

A great looking Case. Very easy componet installation. Excellent CPU Cooling fan FUNNEL on the side cover, just brings FRESH air right to the CPU ! Mine only came with one 120mm case fan, at the rear. I would love to use it. I just cannot Plug the Start switch harness to my ASUS Motherboard. The Case Harness has a 2 pin plug. And the ASUS Mobo, needs a 3 pin with no wire in the middle. I need 2...

Elite 330

Strengths: Cheap, Cooler Master brand

Weakness: Look cheap in person, and built cheap too

Got this case for a good price.. It looks better in the pictures than in person.. It is, however, easy to assemble and has good air flow.. The longevity of the case is questionable though as it seems like it is built cheaply from thin steels..

Pretty good overall

Strengths: Price, no tool setup for bays, lightweight

Weakness: Power button can bet stuck, metal somewhat too soft

I got this case for free after a rebate, so the price is a negligible issue. The case itself is pretty nice, and the no screw setup for the drives was handy. The metal of the case itself can be a little too soft at times, but it's acceptable. Also, the little "wind tunnel" for the processor is a neat addition.

Elite 330 Mid Tower is a good basic case.

Strengths: great air cool performance, 120mm front fan, more than enough bays,great appearance,easy assembly

Weakness: thin metal, bulky

Cooler Master Elite 330 Mid-Tower Computer Case features wonderful thermal solution. It comes with the black meshed front panel, which allows the superior airflow and makes maximum cooling performance possible.It is also preinstalled a 120mm fan which provides good ventilation. We used this case to assemble a desktop with AMD chip. The CPU never got close to be over-heated. This case's mechanical...

Good Bargain Case

Strengths: price, appearance, front helps filter dust

Weakness: very thin metal, not a quiet case due to mesh front

I purchased this case for a computer I built and didn't have any problems with it, but in working with it one can tell that it isn't an expensive case. The metal is very thin and the power button feels cheap. At the same time, the case is good for cooling your components, just don't get it if reducing noise is your primary concern. For what I paid it was an exceptional deal, but at its normal...

Elite 330 Mod Tower Case

Strengths: ATX and Micro-ATX compatibility. Front USB and audio. Not too large.

Weakness: Very thin steel, bends just by looking at it too long...

I have owned quite a few cases, but this Cooler Master is definitely not my favorite. It's ok in several categories like size and I actually like the way it looks. It can be used for builds that require a "professional" and not a "gaming" look. But where this case really falls down is it's build quality. The steel that was used on this case is rolled so thin that it practically bends just by...
