Cooler Master Elite 301 Lite Micro-ATX High Airflow Minimalist PC Case, 365mm GPU Max, Compatible RTX 5080|RX 7090 XT

Used this case to build my new PC. Went from the HAF 912, which is triple the size of this case, and I couldn't be happier. Looks nice and is durable, a steal for the price I paid. Had no issues building in it.

I snagged this case for 35$ (march 2026) and cannot be happier. This price is excellent for what you get. At 50$ (og price) it becomes more of a debate but at the price I got it, BEST case. Case has good cable management channels with lots of areas for zip ties, good magnetic filters, and overall seems pretty sturdy. The appearance may look a little basic but it definitely gives a plus in the airflow department. Once you get rgb fans in, it changes the whole look and it does seem more like a 60 or 70$ case at that point

there's plenty of room in this case; i've got pretty low-power parts in it right now, but there's ample room for more fans and a larger gpu for future upgrades. cable management was fairly easy with a good few tie points, though i would strongly recommend installing the power supply into the case first and feeding the gpu power cables through before you install the motherboard. i didn't do this and ended up needing to remove the motherboard to plug in the gpu. not a big gripe though it was a little tedious to do with the gpu already installed. good build quality, especially for the price; feels very sturdy and i couldn't find a single sharp edge that someone might accidentally cut themselves on. love the magnetic filters for the power supply and front / top vents, super easy to remove and clean. you don't even need to remove the side panel to clean the front panel filter, the front panel is also magnetic and pops right off

This has been probably one of the better cases I've owned. It's simple, yet it looks good in pretty much any setting. Overall it feels sturdy, mounting motherboards in it is always a breeze (due to it's size,) and the value is definitely there.

Pros +Good ventilation +Pleasing design and profile whilst supporting large GPUs +Has USB C and a free ventilation fan for less than 60 dollars Cons -The dust filter in the front intake often gets in the way of the lid preventing it from snapping shut fully -The same dust filter likes to stick to the front lid creating a bypass for dust in the space between the lid and intake. You need to poke it with a stick after closing the lid to get it back into place -Cramped design and no removable top panel makes modifying your PC while the mobo is installed fairly difficult especially if you have a large CPU cooler -The side where the cables are stored is cramped and doesn't allow room for thicker cables. The metal panel bends if there are wires sticking outwards making it difficult to properly close. -The audio header cable is not shielded. You will probably need to apply your own shielding to avoid static interference. While there are more cons than pros in this review the cons, aside from the issue with the filter mesh in front, are mostly nickpicks that can be avoided. If they don't bother you then this case is a steal for the price.
