Abstract: Sometimes, overclocking is the key to getting budget hardware humming along at enthusiast-class performance levels. But getting there requires extra cooling. Today we're examining the performance of four low-cost gaming enclosures under $50 bucks. Thou...
The Cooler Master Elite 430 provides some of the best features of higher end cases at less than half cost; what more could you ask? Its price tag makes the Elite 430 one of the best value cases on the market with a clean appearance and unmatched fea...
Light weight, Cooling options, Black interior, Can fit any size graphic card
Bundles with only one fan, No dust filters, Flimsy construction
The market is filled with various gaming cases, so the Elite 430 Black is against some serious competition. The big question is, can it stand from the crowd. Overall it's a reasonably competent newcomer to the budget class. First of all it looks prett...
Abstract: Though low-cost cases are everywhere, a limited few are outfitted with the extra cooling capacity required by gamers boasting performance hardware. This is just as true for budget builders as it is for high-end systems, since the budget parts often are the ones that get overclocked to match the speed of pricier pieces. It came as no surprise, then, when only eight manufacturers responded to our broad search for the best-performing, low-cost cases. After all, this is a scary space to compete in if you're not proud of what you're selling....
Spacious for a midtower case of this size, supports the newest graphic cards, Toolless drive bay works very well, Small, lightweight, and quiet, Good visual update from previous versions, Good value,
Poor cable management features, Limited fan installation with larger systems (limited cooling effectiveness), Difficult to add drives after completed installation, Exterior panels a little flimsy, Only comes with one fan
The Cooler Master Elite 430 is one of the smallest cases that can fit a full ATX system with the latest graphic cards on the market. The single 120mm fan that comes with the case is sufficient for the average user, but a little disappointing otherwise....
Cooler Master has taken their case design very seriously. The Elite 430 Black case has many high-end features including tool-less drive installation, an all-black interior, a hole for the CPU cooler, and room for up to six fans. Considering this case i...
Light, Supports larger video cards, Black color allover
Cheap material, Only 1 fan included, Poor construction
The Cooler Master Elite 430 does have quite a number of features, but most of these features don’t make me impressed. The case does have a nice aesthetic appeal with a complete black color and blue LED fan; it just doesn’t seem worth the price; around ...
Sleek Style, 5970 compatible, Tooless, Black Interior, CPU Backplate Access, Blue LEDs (for some), Lots of Room for fan Expansion, Clear Side Panel,
Cable Management
Overall the Cooler Master Elite 430 Black Gaming Chassis has a ton of great features for its size. Being able to fit 2 5970's in the case is very impressive, the all black interior is beautiful, and the CPU back plate access is awesome. The aesthetics ...
Overall, this is a well-constructed case. It has some really good features and is a step in the right direction for case construction. The amount of fan possibilities is a nice touch and they are positioned in key areas and will be able to keep the in...
Design Makes For Very Easy Build, Many Fan Mountings To Optimize Airflow, Tool Free Design, Good Quality Black Finish Inside and Outside, Large and Well Placed Backplate Opening on Motherboard Tray, Large Clear Side Window,
5mm SECC Bends and Flexes Easily, No Included Exhaust Fan Limits Airflow
The Cooler Master Elite 430 packs a lot of features into a case in this price range. For a gamer or overclocker, there is a lot to like. Even though the Elite 430 is packaged with only one fan, the option to add a multitude of fans is fantastic. Even a...
