Cooler Master Elite 350 (CMP 350) - Mid Tower Computer Case with Included 500W Power Supply

I think this case is lighter than my new video card. It blew me away how light it was considering it has a power supply already installed. The only negative thing I have to say about the case / power supply is that I wish the Power Supply (500w, which I like) would have had an 8 pin power connector for my video card. It only had a single 6 pin connector, so I had to use a 2 4 pin molex adapter to create a second 6 pin connector and then combine the two 6 pin connectors into an 8 pin using the adapter that came with my video card. It works though with no issues, so I really can't complain much for the price!The case also came with some zip ties and plenty of screws neatly labeled for their intended use in the instructions, which was a welcome addition.

So, the main pull here for me was the included 500W power supply. It's a good, sturdy case, with a matte black finish and a couple of front panel usb ports, but there are better, more stylish and sleek options (with more front/top panel usb ports) than this. This is a great deal if you want a 500W power supply already installed in the case, though. It's also a great purchase if you're trying to put more content IN the computer than on the computer. For example, when I bought this, it was $59.99. That was a great deal - it gave me the case and power supply, when I was looking at a case alone that was $64. That allowed be to put stronger ram into the computer (as well as a slightly better CPU), resulting in an overall powerful computer build for a relatively low price, just in an unassuming case.Now that the price has risen ($70 now), I'm not so sure this is a great deal anymore. But if you can snag this for cheaper, it's definitely worth it. Just keep in mind it's not sleek and glamorous like the fancy gloss shells.

Kind of flimsy, but for the money it is a good looking professional case. I am a legislator and wanted something conservative and functional for my office. It looks very nice and was easy to use for my new build. Even the power supply was decent. I kept it as a back up although I would not hesitate to use it. It was almost as nice as the one I bought for $35. We are all on a budget these days and it you need a nice case that does not look like a space ship from Mars and you are not into impressing your buddies with a look in window that shows off a zillion different colored cards and a metallic purple motherboard with an embedded black light, this is the case for you. Good buy for the money. But again, pretty flimsy metal and not nearly the quality they used to be. But it is what it is.

This tooklike a week or so to ship keep that in mind. Me and my friend were building my first budget build. This case is a great option but when everything was installed nothing turned on. We switched the power supply with an older pc power supply and it worked. The power supply was broken and you void warranty if you try to fix it yourself. Not saying this is the case (No pun intended) for everyone as their power supply may work. I'm not willing to ship to get it fixed with the case since everything else is installed. I think it would take about two weeks to get back. If I can send in just the power supply then fine. Also you can't switch wires in power supply. Great case though, plenty of room.UPDATE it seems that the case fan has an adapter on it. I had to to it off at plug in directly to motherboard for the system to boot!! I feel dumb but it's NY first PC and the adapter didn't work like it was suppose to.

The case itself is fine, a bit flimsy but it works and is good for the price. The power supply i received was Dead on Arrival. I contacted the seller and was told that it was not returnable and sorry for your luck. I do not recommend anyone buy this.

Great price with the power supply included. However as a new pc builder I would not buy this again. The non modular power supply was a bear to cable manage, plus the lack of cable management holes in the case was insult to injury. There's no room behind the motherboard tray for the 24 pin power cable, even sata cables would be very tight. So cutting holes for cables is out. PSU is also at the top of the case making it very top heavy. You could cut a new I.O hole, put taller feet on the case, mount the psu on the bottom and cut holes for the new location, but why? The price is right but do your homework, and do yourself a favor spend the extra change.

I needed a better power supply and a case to fit it in. This did the job. Looks nice. Plenty of room for expansion. But as I am still new to building computers, I had a little trouble attaching the "on-button". The only thing I didn't like was that there's no good way to organize the wiring. It did come with zip ties to hold them out of the way, though.. sort of.--Update--After having it for ~10 months, I see nothing wrong with it. At all. It's been gaming without issue, has more than enough drive bays, and the 500w power supply that came with it is still doing well. Would recommend.One thing, though..The CM Seidon doesn't fit in this case, nor does the 212 Evo. But the TX3 looks nice in it.And I now attach on-buttons with ease!

For $60 and included power supply this case is very good value. it comes with 1 exhaust fan. the only thing I would change is it has a spot for an exhaust fan on the side panel .5 of the way up and I feel that it will disturb bottom to top airflow. It seems like it will suck air in the hole for the fan and the right out the exhaust fan without flowing in the vent at the bottom front of the case. I will either tape a piece of black cardboard over the inside of the hole, or ad another exhaust fan in it. the case Is super solid and good looking.
