One of the best deals for the money.
For the money this case has some excellent features.Cable management was very easy.It hides the power supply and drive bays so that's a plus.The side panel is quality material and easy to clean.Included cooler obviously is not the greatest for airflow but at least it's quiet.The customized trim is a pretty cool feature to throw in.Also yes it has screws for your SSD. I've had cases not include this and this is super important to me.It's pretty light and you can actually accommodate any form factor motherboard which is an awesome plus for a case this small.

Looks good, a pleasure to build in. Great case for the money.
Looks great. Good cable management. Good price. The fan mounting on the front is just a little weird, but manageable. The 3.5" drive bay includes a nice tool-less drive carrier. The 2.5" drive mounting plate in the front appears to have two possible mounting locations. I kind of wish it came with a second drive mounting plate too. But overall this is a really nice case and I'd not hesitate to use it for future builds. After 6 months, the clear plastic hasn't accumulated much dust at all, which was something I was worried about.

Pretty, but limiting front plexi limits airflow.
Build of this case was nice, cable management is solid, plenty of space for cooling fans (4) - does not have a top grill for exhaust fans, this could have been an easy and awesome way to improve airflow in this box. The front Plexi panel really cuts the airflow through the PC, to the point where I feel I should take it off or leave it popped out at the bottom. I'm trying to come up with a solution for this. I have a 240MM TT Water3 radiator mounted up front with TT Riing12 RGB Fans. I use this with NZXT Kraken G12 to cool my 1080Ti FE. I have an EVGA 120MM CLC AIO to cool the 7700K. Replaced the EVGA fan with 2x Antec Quiet 120MM fans in push / pull config. Will support a 360mm radiator up front, but the airflow just doesn't make sense.System looks great, runs well. I drop about 10 degrees overall when I pop open the front plexi.For a $50 USD case, it's beautiful, with great mounting options and solid feel. If your planning on doing a more 'extreme' gaming system, look for something with better airflow. If I could buy a new front panel with vents, I'd jump at the chance.

Great budget case for beginners and professional builders
Great budget case!Pros: Very sleek and spacious. I love how it can fit any mini, micro or full atx MB. The acrylic "glass" adds a nice touch to the case. I always admire Cooler Masters Cases. Very impressive budget case.Great space and a lot of case cutouts for cable managing. it has 2 3.5 hard drive slots, also can fit an SSD. and another SSD mount inside the case. I'm also a first time builderCons: Only comes with one 120mm fan at the back of the case, NOT 3 in the front as in the photos. It has space for 3 120mm fans at the front of the case. Radiator or 3 fans is suggested for extra cooling from the front.

Its okay for the price
It's an okay case, looks good but has terrible airflow. Not a lot of room in the back panel for thick cables. The front panel chokes the airflow and the tint really dulls the light from any fans that have LED's. In all its not that bad its okay for the price but like me with a EVGA acx 2.0 980ti it gets at about 75c while gaming. So if you have a hot gpu or cpu i would recommend a better case with better airflow.

Good case, good instructions.
Having never built a PC before this case came with basically everything you would need to know, the only thing I don't like is the slots for the SSDs to go, it looks nice, but it's kinda difficult to get it to sit right, especially when you have it connected.

Best Budget Option!
For the cost, this is an amazing budget ATX case. Not sacrificing too much on cost to still keep it looking good. Only problem I could see happening is air flow not being the best. but that has yet to be a issue

Review is for MasterBox Lite 5
First off, shame on Amazon for continuing to merge reviews from different products into one.With regard to this case, which is the MasterBox Lite 5, it is really quite horrible! Airflow is non-existent so forget about running any add-in graphics cards that make any amount of heat. The instructions show installing fans in the front and even water cooling, but this is utterly idiot since there is no place to get the air from! They also show installing up to 4 2.5" drives using a special metal bracket, but mine only came with one! It is a terrible, proprietary metal plate that I assume they will sell you separately?? Yeah, keep dreaming! As unboxed, this case will hold 1 2.5" drive and 2 3.5" drives. And in case it isn't obvious from the photos, there is no allowance for any 5.25" drives. Abysmal!Anyway, just a terrible, terrible case that I really should send back. I think the only practical use for this case would be with just a basic motherboard with an i3 CPU and onboard graphics.

Amazing design at this price point
This case is designed like a high-end case, with great layout, airflow, and cable management. It feels a bit flimsy, but had the look of a much pricier case. Great for anyone who values practicality and economy over the fanciest build possible.

Sirve para lo que es.
Es la primera vez que armo mi propia computadora, así que no es mucho decir, pero realmente me gusta esta torre, es muy fácil de abrir y de manipular, cuenta con amplio espacio dentro e incluye todos los tornillos para acomodar las cosas. También trae instrucciones que, si bien no son muy detalladas, sí ayudan para la instalación de los componentes.La torre llegó mucho antes de lo que esperaba, y llegó en perfectas condiciones.Las vistas de colores son un plus, aunque personalmente no me importan, ya que prefiero las vistas rojas, pero igual es bueno tener opciones para los que busquen un color diferente (aunque sólo son tres colores).

Ok basic case
Good case for the price. It is really light and acrylic side window seems very flimsy. Shouldn't get abused too much as its a desktop pc, so not really an issue for most.Sound isolation is low and not much fan exhaust options.
