[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 160299, member: 201"] The excitement for my day.... getting to build in a new ( for me ) lower end mid-tower computer case that is really pretty decent, has pretty nice cable management features, looks decent enough ( although I'm not a fan of side windows but still ) and still provides room for a single optical drive ( CD, DVD or BR ) if one is needed ( if one isn't needed there are better options ). The case is a Cooler Master MasterBox MB600L which supports Mini-ITX, Micro ATX and ATX motherboards. You can add 3 additional 120mm front fans or up to a 360mm radiator for water cooling but the front isn't made for great air flow. It'll certainly handle any general computing needs but if you want to get extreme look for a case with more ventilation. Internal drive support is for 1 2.5" and 2 3.5" drive bays ( the 3.5" also supports 2.5" as well ). There looks to be places for additional 2.5" drive trays but I didn't look for availability of those options. The addition of a well ventilated power supply shield really helps keep the cable management tidy. Behind the motherboard tray is roomy, again helping with the cable management.
