Cooler Master Elite 311 Mid Tower Cabinet

Okay so this case is one of cheapest 'branded' case out there, and well it has its own cons and pros.

Pros :
1. Price - cheap
2. Decent Build quality
3. PSU sucks air from the bottom, which is good. It also has a dust filter for the PSU.
4. Has holes for cable management(don't get too happy but, read cons).
5. Fits big graphics cards.

Cons :
1. Supports only 3 fans, honestly CM, would it hurt to just punch in some holes and add support for more fans?
2. Very limited space behind the motherboard tray (just about 1cm) So even if u have cable management holes, u face problems to route thick power cords like the 24 pin atx connector or the 8 pin connector behind the motherboard tray.
3. Has sharp edges inside, so if ur not careful u can scratch yourself.
4. Front bezel could be more transparent so that if u installed a LED fan, it wud look cool.

Overall : 3/5.
If ur on a very tight budget then this case if good, if u can just spend about 500-600 rs more then u can get much better cases like the NZXT Gamma or the merc alpha.

I bought a lot of CM cabinets (Gladiator 600, Elite 342, Elite 343, etc) in the past and this is, in my opinion, the best of them.

Pros:

1) Good build quality
2) Front mesh
3) Looks simple but good
4) Good cable management (as long as you don't exceed the amount of hardware an average office PC usually has)
5) Bottom mount for the PSU - one of the very few budget cabinets that have this "feature" (seriously, it should be a standard)
6) Side-facing HDD rack (easy swapping)
7) Good amount of fan mounts aimed at an average office/home PC

Cons:

1) The interior is not painted (rusts a bit with time, but not severely) - shame on you, CM, this feature is present even on many cheap no-name cases!
2) No hole next to the PSU mount for the CPU power cable to run behind the motherboard plate - had to route it in front of the motherboard instead :(
3) Comes with only one fan (but I guess more would increase the price)
4) It was a pain to route power on, reset, USB and front panel audio cables all the way from the top of the case - be prepared for these cables going all the way through the center of the cabinet unless you're stubborn enough to spent 15 minutes to make sure they are routed behind the motherboard plate.

Overall, as I said, it's one of the best in the price range.

This one's big enough to accommodate 2 Graphics cards yet leaves your cables unclogged.The finishing is excellent and the front panel has 2USB ports and HD audio.You can install two fans additionally for better cooling.The one disappointment is,the back panels once removed can't be re installed.So be cautious to remove only the required ones or you will make an opening(just like mine). Last but not the least this one's a bang for buck not a single cabinet can compete it at this price range

The model also comes in plus version too which has transparent side panel, front USB 3.0 ports,it's painted inside in the black which makes the cabinet rust proof and looks great

this cabinet from CM is quiet well build, i would not call it a budget cabinet rather a value for money thing. If u r looking for budget cabinet ,go fo zebronics cabinets or something. Nice cabinet to build a decent powerful system not extreme pc
my pc config
core i5 2400
asrock H77 pro4/mvp
wd 500 gb
gskill 2 x4gb ram
seasonic s12II 520W
one 120 mm deepcool fan with blue led for the front intake

i will be adding one more fan and a gpu soon.
May be gtx 560 or hd 7770....
if u r into OVERCLOCKING get ur self a high end cabinet with more fans and superior air flow , since u can add only 2 more fans in elite 311 , for a mid system like mine this cabinet is highly recommended...

Some information regarding this product:

1. Totally 3 cabinet fans could be installed.
2. This doesn't have a tool free design.
3. Build quality is good(for this price). It's made of steel and ABS plastic.
4. One 2.5" SATA HDD drive bay(Hidden)
5. Maximum compatibility:
CPU cooler height: 160 mm/6.3 inch
VGA card length: 281 mm/ 11 inch (422 mm/16.6 inch with HDD cage removed)

My Recommendations: Use Cooler master power supply and cooler master xtraflo cooler. You'll surely see a performance increase and temperature decrease.
