Description of Computer case Cooler Master Elite 130 (RC-130-KKN1)

Code: 478-371Case Cooler Master Elite 130 Black (RC-130-KKN1)This is the case CoolerMaster Elite 130. This model is made of steel. All surfaces of the product are painted black, which makes it universal for installation in almost any modern interior. The dimensions of the CoolerMaster Elite 130 case correspond to its Mini-Tower size. This means that when selecting computer components for installation in the case, they must comply with the Mini-ITX form factor. The presented model will be an ideal acquisition for creating a home theater based on a personal computer. The well-thought-out case design provides for the bottom location of the power supply. Storage baskets are located along and across the body. The design of the product assumes the presence of three expansion slots for the location of the motherboard. The case comes with fans, including one by 12 cm and one by 8 cm. Also included are cable ties, a set of fasteners and a PC Speaker.

Not everything is so bad, but there are disadvantages.

Haven't bought a video card yet. I can't say anything about her. If anyone decides to remove the 80mm fan, then return the part to which it is attached, because. this part supports the power supply. Some pros: If you correctly approach the selection of components PROBABLY you can assemble a good PC. Has cons: The 80mm fan chirps at any setting from day one. It will not work to replace it with a good branded fan, because. it is 15mm thick. All quality turntables are 25mm thick and won't fit in…

Normal quality, you can use it.

I really regret buying this case. I assembled a gaming PC in it to connect to TV: - MP- gigabyte b85n phoenix - CPU - core i5 4670 - CO - Big Shuriken 2 rev. B - FB - MSI GTX 760 Gaming To cool the processor, you need a CO with a height of no more than 65mm. , There are few of them on sale. CBOs with the current dollar exchange rate are expensive. The video card in this case suffocates, my MSI GTX 760 Gaming warms up to 85 degrees in games, in a regular ATX case it is a maximum of 62…

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

Well, in fact, you can collect anything in it. I just assembled a working machine, but it takes up little space, besides, the cooling system is well implemented here, you can install a CBO if you want. Made of steel, not heavy, enough expansion slots and bays. With its pros: Can fit any video card Case assembly Dimensions There are 2 ports on 3.0 Some cons: Well, due to its dimensions, the case is not the best for gaming

A NAS / media center was assembled, with the N3150 processor, therefore it does not apply to "gaming" or even "office" assemblies. There is no external video card, no heat, two hard drives. The main note - I would gladly pay 500 extra for the same case with a basket for the railway, in the manner of a basket in Elite 120 (very bad ventilation at 120, otherwise I would take it). If you have a choice, it's better to take a modular power supply, otherwise you will have a 5" bay only for folding…

Pros
  • 1. Size 2. Complete power supplies 3. SATA 3 on the front (not on the side as on many cases) face 4. You can install 3 3.5 disks + 1 2.5. 5. 5" basket and side plate are unscrewed (on screws, not on rivets)
Cons
  • HD mount. Almost at all landing sites, it turns out that the HDD connectors are very close to the case plate, as a result, power can only be connected to the connector at the end of the cable. To connect with an intermediate connector, you need to strongly bend the wires of the cable. If the lower HDD is placed "as expected" on rubber pads, then it is not fixed in any way from moving backwards, only the friction force of the pads stops it. When sticking the cable, you must hold it, otherwise it drives off and jumps out of the mounts.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Chose this case for home NAS on Xpenology. Attracted compactness and price. A strange decision by the manufacturer to place 3.5 HDDs, it seems to me that placing a basket for 3x hdds under ODD would be logical. The front cooler is noisy, which is understandable, the case is designed for compact high-performance mini-itx systems. In general, I am very pleased with the case.

Pros
  • Compact design
Cons
  • No HDD cage 3.5, Noisy front 120 cm cooler

The golden mean between size and capabilities. So many disks + the limitation on the length of the video card will not fit into a smaller case, and if you take more, then what kind of compactness? Its pros: Adequate price. Quality made. Many HDD/SSD mounting options Possibility to install CBO 120mm Full PSU You can shove long video cards With its cons: On the side there is a small 80x80 cooler - quite noisy. I lowered its speed through the BIOS. The one in front was immediately replaced with…

I have a NAS based on the Intel Celeron N3150, on which ESXi is installed and XPEnology is already running in the virtual machine. In shortcomings, I noted the inconvenient mounting of disks. This is true, but this is a retribution for the relative cheapness of the case. For good, here you need a basket for disks, but the price will immediately double. I will transfer my next home PC to this case. Fortunately, it allows you to put a full-size video card.

Pros
  • Relatively compact case for a full-fledged and powerful computer. Includes a full-size (dual-slot) graphics card. The most common computer power supply is installed (and not expensive and rare compact ones). All components can be supplied within the miniITX format.
Cons
  • Not very convenient mounting hard drives

Due to the small space inside, I had to fork out for a closed unattended CBO, but this has its plus - the CPU is now not heated. Not a bit sorry that I bought SVO. Slightly suffered with the installation of the radiator on the front panel. The 80mm blow-out cooler did not do its job very well, so I had to remove it from the case and turn the power supply unit with the fan inward, in this position it works for blowing out, and the cooler of the CBO radiator works for blowing in. It does not…

Pros
  • Compactness, the ability to install a full-size video card.
Cons
  • Not much difficulty in assembling components, due to non-standard engineering ideas of the creators of this case.

I assembled the first computer (HTPC) on Elite 120, I liked it very much, I was looking for the same one, but they were discontinued. I took one of the first 130th in OGO. Processor i5-4570, video GF 650 ti, processor temperature does not rise above 45 degrees.

Still, it seems that placing the PSU above the motherboard was not the best constructive solution. This is the best one I've found, but it would be a little repackaged and would be perfect. But I think that such requirements are legally imposed only on custom cases) Has some pros: A really small case that will fit everything except the tower Has cons: Unnecessary skids for 3.5, I would have preferred it even smaller, leash with the expectation of a motherboard and a little space for the length…
