The N400 offers a decent number of drive bays and airflow options, but several design choices made the building experience more frustrating than it needed to be.* The PCIe slot covers are flimsy and do not provide much support for add-in cards, resulting in poor alignment with the motherboard slots.* Only two of the 3.5” drive bays include tool-free mounts, while the rest require screws.* The 2.5” SSD mounting system is also of low quality and difficult to manage, making cable routing more challenging than it should be.* There is very little space above the motherboard, which makes it difficult to connect cables, especially when using a tower cooler. While the case technically supports two fans in this area, there is realistically no room for them if a larger air cooler is installed. The same goes for the two fans which can be installed behind the drive bay, as they share the same space as the 2.5" mounting adapter.* The case is not designed with right-angle motherboard connectors in mind, meaning compatibility may vary when using SATA, USB, 24-pin power connectors etc.* The included fans are functional but do not compare well with modern, quieter alternatives.* The dust filters are not easy to remove for cleaning.* The case does not come with common motherboard standoffs pre-installed (e.g those shared by both ATX and mATX), which adds an unnecessary step to the building process.* There is no AIO support here. You might get one mounted on the rear 120mm fan, but that isn't going to be enough for modern hardware.If a budget case with storage capacity is the main priority, it can be made to work, especially as you'll be saving a lot of money vs alternative high-drive capacity cases.

Cumple las necesidades de un case que tenga lugar para otros componentes .

Muy satisfecho con la compra, el único detalle es que la motherboard queda en desnivel y se vuelve difícil conectar los accesorios cuando la motherboard tiene sus conexiones de lado, de tal forma que el desnivel afecta y se dificulta y/o en algunos casos es imposible usar esos conectores. Como ejemplo la motherboard Asrock Z690 Pro RS.El gabinete tiene para poner un lector óptico y un lector de tarjetas de memoria y espacio para múltiples ventiladores incluido un ventilador grande para el procesador sin ser un gabinete gammer¡¡¡¡¡¡Muy satisfecho con la compra!!!!!!

La calidad de los gabinetes Cooler Master

Como es de esperarse de cooler master, el case cumple con lo que se requería: nada de luces rgb, aunque bien podría haber venido con 3 ventiladores en lugar de solamente 2. Lo compensé comprando un kit extra. En estos días de PCs con SSD, cuesta encontrar un case con más de.3 bahías para unidades de 3.5". Este case cumple la expectativa: puede alojar hasta 8 discos si se usa la bahía pensada para la unidad floppy (si, es un diseño viejo) o bien se puede usar ese espacio para un bracket para montar puertos USB 3.1 y el Tipo C que viene disponible en la tarjeta madre que se montó en este case.La lámina es delgada pero resistente y no es muy pesado, algo que se agradece.Viene con un diseño para montar ventiladores laterales o una solución de water cooling, sin embargo, y de nuevo, al ser un diseño viejo, carece de opciones decuadas para ruteo de cables, que se complica al ser un full tower pero esbelto, lo que limita un tanto el espacio para el cableado.El diseño del chasis tiene un inconveniente con las nuevas tarjetas que traen algunos puertos colocados en forma horizontal y con la entrada de conexión hacia el frente del case. En micaso pasó que los puertos USB 3 y los pueros SATA 1 y 2 estan dispuestos de esa forma y para poder conectar, hubo necesidad de deformar la lámina pues el diseño pensado para el water cooling, tiene un relieve que impide las conexiones. Hacer un buen ruteo de cables, deja inutilizado el espacio pensado para el watercooling/ventiladores extra.A pesar de esos detalles, el case cumple con el requisito principal: Alojar discos mecánicos de 3.5" para un RAID.Está en pruebas, a ver que tal funciona la solución de ventilación instalada ( ventiladores dr alta ganancia) para mantener el equipo fresco.

 

Lots of ways to mount an SSD on this thing. Plenty of room to fit even a massive graphics card. Only downside is the difficulty of cable management as it is a tiny case.

En cuanto vi el gabinete me enamoré de él. El gran inconveniente que tiene es que para ocultar los cables no es muy bueno. De verdad que se tiene que hacer hasta lo imposible para que no se vean mucho los cables, si se quiere poner un disipador de 240mm en la parte superior es mejor que tú tarjeta madre no tenga un disipador de las fases de poder muy grande porque no te dejará ponerlo, afortunadamente se puede poner en la parte lateral, de lo contrario, tendrías que comprar un disipador de torre o uno de 120mm.

Flujo de aire correcto , muy compacto aun si esta algo ancho pero su calidad de construccion lo compensa , si buscas algo que pase desapercibido o muy oficinista este es tu gabinete , le da un buen toque , y no es como otros gabinetes sencillos, muy bueno con un ventilador que si mueve bien el flujo de aire para pocos compontes.

No quiero alardear con terminaciones técnicas y otras cosas que ya sepan, al fin no se puede hablar seriamente de un gabinete, así que solo les diré que este gabinete tiene el tamaño justo para insertar buen hardware para un equipo decente e inclusive de alto rendimiento, no tendrás broncas con que se vea todo amontonado o que estorben una con otra cosa ya que esta muy bien distribuido por dentro el gabinete, pero lo importante es que puede estar en cualquier lugar de tu casa ya sea cuarto, sala, baño donde quieras, no pide mucho espacio, el diseño no es bonito pero cumple su función pero al ser todo negro le da algo de estilo y no tendrás mucho problemas con el polvo ya que no almacena mucho, el gabinete cuenta con variedad de tornillos y accesorios ( no como los de la plaza de la computación que se ve que se los venden por separado) para que no tengas problemas al instalar tu hardware o necesidad de hacer un gasto extra, me gusto este gabinete debido a que no me limite en comprar en hardware de buen desempeño útil para un buen sistema de entretenimiento, trabajo o inclusive de juegos, todo esto en la comodidad de mi sala y a un buen precio

A great case for those who want a simple yes classy design. Enough room for several additional fans if desired, and was mostly easy to work with. Some areas are a bit tricky to deal with compared to some cases that make life simpler, but everything is made solid and most of the case is metal, so there isn't really any cheap plastic involved. This makes for a sturdy case with decent room for whatever you might need in any good-tier computer builds

Caja muy práctica para equipos con placa micro-atx y mini atx. Fácil instalación. recomiendo instalar los discos duros y placa antes que la fuente de esta manera el montaje es mucho más fácil. Calidad precio muy bueno y de una marca de garantía como Cooler Master. Saludos

I had a slim form factor computer with M-ATX components that were beginning to show age. I effectively gave it to my 10-year old son for his minecraft and occasional writing. I had an Intel Core i3 from 2011 with integrated graphics HD-200. It was good enough for Minecraft although it got "laggy" occasionally according to my son. So I thought it was probably due to the integrated graphics performance. These days, CPU performance improvements seem to have hit a ceiling and I don't really see significant performance improvement from generations to generations, except maybe when you run heavy-duty applications like video editing and large data set processing. For browsing, youtube, minecraft, I suspect new SSD drives and graphic cards would address the bottlenecks better.Since the slim factor case was too small for any graphic cards, I had to buy a new case. I didn't want to buy a regular ATX case, because he's only 10. I don't expect him to need 3 hard drives, 2 graphic cards, water cooling systems, 1000W PSU in the next 3 years. Micro-ATX seems to be the sweet spot for sufficient expansion flexibility and efficient space. I also wanted a good quality case. My last one was partially made of plastics (it had two plastic stands to stand up the main case that recently broke). I want to build a cost effective, high quality minecraft PC that has more than enough power to make him happy for Xmas.For this purpose, this computer case is really PERFECT. What I like about it:1. Quality build: The whole case except for the front cover is made of metal (not sure what type), and painted evenly with black paint. This is much nicer than a "high-end" Dell XPS I saw in Costco. The screws that come with the case also seem to have high quality. The two pre-installed fans are made by Cooler Master, not a no-name maker. That's reassuring to me. The fans are very quiet, too.2. Surprisingly large space: This is a case for Micro-ATX motherboard, or the smaller mini-ITX. But the space left after you install the motherboard is surprisingly large to me. Usually small cases have trouble installing large graphics cards. For that reason, I was going to compromise for a single-fan Gigabyte GTX 960. The heat dissipation probably isn't very good, but I wanted to build a small computer. Then I found this case that can easily support Gigabyte GTX 960 Windforce (the 2-fan model). The case layout is very smart. It positions the 5.0 and 3.5 internal bays on top, the PSU and additional hard-drive bays at the bottom. So the middle part is wide open. You effectively have the entire front to back case depth to install your graphic card. It handles my Gigabyte with so much easy. I suspect I could've installed a 3-fan model if I had wanted to. And then on storage bays, I have a DVD drive, a hard drive only, which I put all on the top internal bay. There is another internal rack that can host 3 3.5 HDs. I doubt I'd ever need that many drives. In total, with 1 DVD rom, 1 HD, 1 mATX motherboard, 1 2-fan graphic card, 1 WIFI PCI card, 1 mTAX 450X PSU, the stock CPU fan, the case inside doesn't seem crowded at all. It's not empty, just well utilized. Very smart design for a mATX case.3. Reasonable cost: 49.99. If you buy from newegg, I saw a $20 rebate. I just skipped the hassle and bought here. This is a pretty decent price.What I don't like about it:1. It supports ATX PSU. This would be a plus to most people because of the ATX PSU flexibility and power. I already have a mATX PSU. Thus I needed a converter plate. Fortunately I saved the mATX to ATX converter plate that came with my PSU (which I bought a year ago). It didn't turn out to be an issue for me, but if I had bought my PSU many years ago, or it came from another pre-assembled PC, I would've been out of luck. My point is, this is a mATX case. It's great that it can support ATX PSU, but it should include a converter for mATX PSU.2. The HD audio head for the front audio panel got broken when I tried to install / uninstall / reinstall it over the 2 days as I received several upgrade components (e.g. the WIFI PCI card). Because of the limited space, I needed to unplug the head from the motherboard a couple of times to make room. It was really hard to reach the head itself, so I pulled the wire attached to the head. After a few times, the speaker wire came off. I was able to fix it myself in 30 minutes. But it worried me a little at first that I had to buy another case. Net net, this might not be the vendor's fault, but I wished the wire fixture were stronger. Next time I will be very careful.In summary, this case is great for me: a minimalist and (somewhat) perfectionist. It has just enough space (and a little extra) for a high quality mTAX build with high-end graphic cards, quality and quiet fans and case build quality and materials, and at a good price. If you want a monster case to play with constant upgrades, this might not be for you. I just wanted a good case for a good 10-year old boy's game PC and then be done with it. This worked really well for me. My son is super happy. :-)
