Product Description

Size Name: ATX/mATX | Style Name: Elite 431

Product Description

The new Elite 431 Plus builds upon Cooler Master expertise and delivers high-end features in the affordable market space. Cooler Master believes that just because something is affordable, it doesn’t have to lack features or be a “budget” product. The Elite 431 Plus features a classic black Cooler Master design with clean, yet attractive lines. It has been built to last and uses high quality materials, unlike many “budget” products that tend to use cheaper materials that don’t last. It’s also been designed to keep the components inside the case cool and not only does it have space for plenty of additional cooling fans, but it can also be fitted with large CPU coolers, such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus.

I had a previous older but good performance Vista computer I was upgrading to a better motherboard, RAM, cpu, graphics card, Win7 etc. Since I was changing just about everything except the case, DVD drive and the psu, I looked at the cost of buying another economy set of those items too and so keeping the old PC as a backup for emergencies and problems. Looking for an economy case I found this one which was actually a lesser version of the excellent CoolerMaster case I already had.

The good points first. A good case, rugged and strong with not too many sharp edges to catch you out. Lots of space and clearances, giving potentially good airflow and cable routing and making it easy to install into even for a bulky cpu cooler.

Not so good points. The case comes with brass spacers for the motherboard that you first screw into the case panel. However the screws supplied for fixing the motherboard to the spacers can be a tight machine fit for the spacers and while trying to tighten them with the motherboard in place, you risk overtightening the spacer instead and stripping the case thread, so leaving both the spacer and motherboard screw a loose fit. I also thought the case could have been suppled with one more case fan (only one is supplied) to avoid having to obtain at least one other separately to provide a good chosen airflow path. The very bright blue power LED also makes it quite difficult to detect the close and similar harddrive activity LED in operation.

Overall I felt that I had very good value for the money and apart from needing slightly better quality control on the supplied screws, it would get my strong recommendation as an economy case.

I bought this case in order to build a media centre PC and am very pleased with the result. The finish of the case is better than I expected, with no sharp edges either inside or out.

There is space inside for a full sized ATX power supply, but overclockers out there should be aware that the positioning of the cage means that it overhangs the motherboard, so depending on where the CPU socket is located there is only about an inch of clearance between the top of the CPU cooler and the bottom of the power supply cage. Choose your aftermarket cooler with care!

Front panel connections are good for a case of this price with one USB3 and three USB2 ports, as well as the usual microphone and headphone sockets. There is also a 5.25" bay with a lockable door if you are not intending to use it.

Two case fans are included, a 120mm at the front and a smaller 60mm (ish) on the side. Both are reasonably quiet especially when turned down with motherboard software or an app like speedfan. There is space to mount another 120mm fan inside behind the HDD bays which blows over the motherboard tray, and cooler master kindly include some quick fitting plugs that do away with the need for screws and tools.

For a small case building this PC was quick and easy, to the point that I took the opportunity to teach the missus and had her put it together. Having said that her little fingers probably made it a little easier!

It has three 3.5" drive bays with quick release brackets, and an adapter that can sacrifice one of them for a pair of 2.5" SSD's or laptop drives. As I am not using the 5.25" bay I have added an additional 3.5" drive by suspending it in the bay with some of the missus's adjustable rubber bra straps.

I bought this having previously got the very similar Coolermaster Elite 334 Black Mid Tower Case, which I in fact mistook this for. This difference being this case has the PSU at the bottom (so the PSU can exists air out of the bottom of the case rather than inside), has two side spaces for fans, and doesn't have a cone inside to help airflow directly to the CPU fan. That and the two front USB ports are at the far end of the front panel rather that together, this is very useful considering so many USB devices are very bulky and so two can't be plugged into adjacent ports.

The case is easy enough to build a PC with, both sides come off and the front too allowing for easy access for adding in drives and the motherboard.The front cables for the audio/activity lights/power buttom/usb ports are long enough to be plugged into the motherboard and there's enough space between the drive bays and (most) motherboards for cables to not be forced to bend sharply.

Besides from working perfectly as a case, it doesn't have the normal flashing lights/stupidity of most of the cases of Amazon. Aside from the front power and HDD activity lights there's no additional lights and there's only one built in case fan on the back (although the side and front would allow for up to 3 additional fans). If you want to build a PC without looking like you're compensating for something, go for this case.

SilverStone screwed me by asking 75 EUR for a replacement PSU in my SG05 case. The case and PSU were only about £85 to begin with. So instead of doing that I thought hell, I can buy a whole new case and PSU for that price, if only I can find a Mini ITX case that is compatible with full size ATX PSUs.

My choices were Fractal Designs Node 304, Lian Li PC-V352 or this Cooler Master Elite 120. Being the cheapest option by quite a long way, and having some good reviews despite being new to the market I decided to go for it. I wasn't expecting a case with a premium feel, but I have been very pleasantly surprised.

There is absolutely nothing budget about the way this case looks or feels, it is in my opinion exceptional value for money. It has 2 case fans (one at the front, and one on the side at the back closest to the CPU), comes with all the screws you could need, a beeper, cable ties, enough trays and attachments for 3 HDDs, and for all those PC builders out there with hands made of paper you'll be pleased to know that the insides of the case are completely burr free. They even sprayed the inside of the case black, it looks very cool. Comparing this to my SilverStone SG05, the build quality and attention to detail on this is far better.

My only gripe would be that one (or maybe both) of the fans are a little loud. I might see about replacing them in the future with something quieter. I haven't put a GPU in this yet, but it's evident that it would be a tight fit.

I would give this 5 stars if the fans were quieter. For less than £40 this case comes highly recommended.
