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 Adisorn Soon ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

I assembled it in the R5 1600 + RX 580 case. The appearance is very presentable, it looks expensive, it is made with high quality. At idle, temperatures are 35-40, but it’s worth starting to play - you can safely fry fried eggs on the system unit. If you are assembling a simpler configuration, with a cold video card or without it at all, then the case, in principle, will suit you. If something is more or less serious, then I highly do not recommend it because of the very poor air circulation inside the case. By the way, if you remove the front cover - then everything becomes fine. The computer is cold even when playing games. But it already looks so-so

Pros
  • +Tempered glass + No gaps, nothing backlash, everything is done with high quality + Removable rear end caps + Three colors in one to choose from - an unusually cool solution + Dust filters at all air intake points, on the power supply it can even be conveniently removed
Cons
  • -Disgusting cable management, ran a 24-pin motherboard power cable from behind, the lid barely closed with a creak -Very poor paint quality. Cost a little touch with a screwdriver to the metal, so immediately the paint disappears and it is scratched. Accidentally while collecting so left a few scratches. -There is no power supply shroud, and there is almost no space at the back for cables, as a result, there is nowhere to put the wires from the PSU, only if you put them next to the hard drive bay. So to buy only a modular power supply for this case, I took the usual one with a fool, I regretted it a hundred times. -Terrible cooling, although there are places for two 120s in front, there is no sense from them. And all because the ventilation holes are only in the front top (VERY SMALL HOLE) and bottom (already bigger, but it still doesn’t help much). -And the front cover is not made of tempered glass, but ordinary acrylic, as I understand it. -Hard drives are attached directly to the case. Vibrations from hard all over the computer, there are no sleds or gaskets. -How could you think of making 1 USB 3.0 port and 1 2.0 port? This is just an ingenious solution - only two ports, and two wires, one of which is greasy and almost does not bend. (Why didn’t they just make two USB 3.0? You can hang two ports on one wire, well, it’s just as easy!)

Different pros: Very beautiful body, designed for lighting. Replaceable plastic front panel covers. Tired of the color - you can change Its cons: The power supply is open. The hard drive basket is inconvenient and looks very simple. Virtually no space to hide wires.
