Nice deal. I've had my eye on this, but want to get my hands on a HafXB first to see if it's worth the increased price.

Thanks for the post. I've been wanting to order another of these for a while. FWIW Amazon has it for the same price.

Awesome. In for one.

Remember to get a low profile heatsink as well. Tower heatsinks of any size will not fit.

Coolermaster Geminll M4 is a perfect match for that case.

I have two of these under my belt. great case with a simple fan mod. all you need is a 3.75 inch hole saw. with a nice grill. I did buy one I will end up with three of these
1)a blue led
2)a red led
3) a green led

As the intake case fan . These cases can use this psu if you don't want to over clock the GPU you can run a hd7970 if you don't oc it.

What is nice about this psu is that it is small and allows air to leave the cpu heatsink. If you use this cpu don't use a dvd/blueray player and stash the cables in that spot.

or you can use a sea sonic x660 with custom cables if you want the blueray player. and oc the gpu .

I have one asrock z77 board with a hd7970 gpu

I have one intel h77 board with a hd7970 gpu. both use a crucial 256gb mSata

you can easily fit h50 type water coolers in this case. I did it with mine. YOu just can't mount your hard drive in the hard drive bay. If you are using an SSD it is not a problem. I have a push pull setup on the rad and my ssd is mounted vertically in the drive bay in the brive bay bracket with zip ties. Having the push pull setup makes all the difference as the 2 fans are able to overcome the very restrictive front panel.

Same deal, new code EMCXTWR26 exp.3/21. Code also gives 20% off several other Cooler Master cases.

Note that Newegg (mistakenly or not) claims there is an additional $10 rebate on the Elite 120 if you just find it in the listings. However, the actual rebate is MIA. If anyone can find it and it is still valid, then this case can be had for $30 AR AC FS.

I ended up using 3 of these cases. if you use the asrock z77 itx board and an msata they can be a really powerful gamer.
