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 Sameer Harder

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ensures good air circulation

Like: The front lets tons of air in and the roof and rear let the air out really well. Features three removable screens (bottom, front and top) for easy cleaning. I like the hidden black color and the layout of the power button, audio jacks and two USB ports. I didn't notice any sharp metal edges inside like in many budget cases. Finally, the cover for the power supply. Dislikes: As mentioned, I wish the PSU cover was removable. When using a modular power supply, it is a bit difficult to connect more cables. Also, I don't care about the red plastic inserts. More black would have been better. Suggestions: It would be nice to have two more USB ports on the front as many devices use USB and it would be more convenient than using the back ports on the motherboard. Using double sided gorilla tape works well to secure the SSD behind the motherboard. If you are using a modular power supply, plan and connect any cables you need before installing the power supply. What in my case: AMD 1800X Rysen 7 processor, ASUS ROG Strix X470-F gaming motherboard, Noctua NH D15 SE AM4 CPU cooler for AMD Ryzen (It's a monster, a very good monster!), Corsair HX 850, Samsung 970 Pro M 2 512GB, Samsung 860 500GB SSD, Samsung 850 500GB SSD, Samsung 840 250GB SSD, G.SKILL Flare X 16GB DDR4 on 3200 and with Windows 7.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • So far so good
