Review on Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1 Micro-ATX Tower - Front Dark Mirror Panel, 3 Customizable Color Trims & Transparent Acrylic Side Panel (MCW-L3B3-KANN-01) by Kevin Gunnmann

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does anyone have a good case anymore?

This does not only apply to this cooler body. Switches broke in my 20 year old aluminum CM case and I tried to install a new power switch and all that happened was the fans came on for a few seconds and then stopped completely. I gave the Antec case a try with all the hype and how expandable it is. . NOT CORRECT! He was unable to keep all of the promised discs. I was cut with a sharp edge. The kanji instruction book was worthless (CM is no better), and worst of all, there was no way to turn off the damn flashlights. Cm has the same worthless book and cheap metal. Was forced to buy a glass model as no one had a model with a steel version. Perhaps the worst artwork is the back of the case, where expansion cards (USB, GPU, etc.) are mounted. You'll need to take a Phillips screwdriver and a hammer to knock them out, leaving jagged edges you could cut yourself on. In addition, there are no screws to attach the card to the case, and when the card is removed there are no plates to keep dirt out. The show gives me migraines and I don't have time to constantly buy a good suitcase so I'll settle for this to get away from the laptop.

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • Expensive
