The MasterBox MB530P utilizes the aggressive intakes seen on the MB510L, MB511, and MB520, but employs glass on both of the side panels and the front panel. The application of glass was put in place to support the display of addressable RGB fans included with the chassis. Three ARGB fans, an ARGB control button, and a system that is compatible with other popular ARGB components mean each component will be presented through the front and side panels with clarity. The choice in what to display and how clean it looks depends a lot on the covers available. For that, the PSU cover, cable covers, and clean routing space act as a system to manage which components should be displayed and which should stay hidden. There is also a honeycomb pattern on the side panel behind the motherboard; this textured pattern hides the PSU with an aesthetic accent.

This case is awesome. It has some great, easy ways of fitting so many components into such a small space. To the point where, if you've bought parts that actually fit, its incredibly easy to build in, if maybe more time consuming than a bigger case.Its got a nice glass panel which is fine, and mesh ones if you prefer temps to seeing how much you have crammed into this thing. The included fans are pretty decent, if not a bit large, and reasonably quiet. This case does get pretty hot, which is absolutely to be expected when you're fitting this many components into such a small space, but however you build it there should be enough space for two bottom intake fans as well, which do really help even if they aren't the best fans. There's also great cable management ... MoreThis case is awesome. It has some great, easy ways of fitting so many components into such a small space.

If you have a low profile CPU fan, or water cooling, definitely make use of this!I only have two real issues with this case.1: The sheer size of the top fans do interfere with a lot of low profile coolers, which tend to be wider rather than taller. I think even if I didn't have a larger low profile cooler they still would be squishing my managed cables. making the case like half a centimetre taller would have probably alleviated all of this.2: With a low profile air cooler and the gpu riser, there's a lot of empty space. I have literally nothing filling up a void about the size of a large 3 slot GPU. This is very much a me problem, and is probably rather in fact testament to the sheer amount of options this case comes with, but would have been nice to have a smaller version of this, but at this price and size its not exactly taking up my whole desk.For 100 quid I don't think there's a better or more complete tiny PC case.

I don't have much experience, but overall despite the cons I detailed, I really like this computer tower. I never knew I could have such a pretty and affordable computer tower. The only things I would change are the placement of the HDD (for the sake of others), having a more detailed manual than simply pictures (at the very least have an online version with more text, ideally with video too!), and making the bulk of the case out of steel rather than aluminium. Despite the increased weight of steel over aluminium, I would be happier to know that the case is more durable/long lasting and would be better able to survive shipping if needed. I plan on updating this review once I have been using the computer for awhile for gaming and see how the cooling/air flow is.

I check that no wires or obstructions are causing it, but it's coming from the motor housing itself. The fans look great and move air quietly, if it weren't for this annoying clicking. This is for a customer's system, not my own, so I'm hoping they won't care, but it'd drive me up the wall if it were my PC.

If your more than 3FT from the PC and don't crank the front fans, you probably won't care. That being said, I've been using Cooler Master fans for years, and many of them have a very quiet clicking when they spin, but not usually enough to be audible more than 6 in away. This is easily 4x to 8x as loud. While we're discussing fans, why is the RGB controller a 3 pin female connection? Most motherboards have a pin layout for RGB control. I still have to figure this out. It even says "Gigabyte" on the connection, and I have a Gigabyte board. I wish RGB standard were more clearly defined,. On to the rest of the case. I like the layout and cooling options. For a Micro ATX case, this has very good airflow and cooling options. There is plenty of space up top for up to a 280mm air cooler, and the dual tower cooler I used also fit fine. It doesn't come with any rear fans, but I knew this going in and don't take off any points at this price point for that. I like that there are 2x 2.5 mounts on the back of the motherboard tray, but there are also 2x 2.5 mounts above the PSU shroud. This is fine, but they only give you hardware for 2x mounts, which is weird since there are 4 areas to mount total. I like the removable 3.5" drive bay, and I like all the space for the size of this case. The layout feels very modern and is easy to work on. However, the bend off expansion slot fillers are annoying. They are hard to get off once a motherboard is in. I know it's a cheap case, but these should be screwed in spacers, not this junk. I expect this on a $40 case, not a $70 case. Cooler Master, charge the extra Twenty Cents and give real expansion slot fillers, please. Overall, if you want a cool looking case with good airflow and a glass side panel on the cheap, this is a good option. So long as you don't mind potentially "clicky" fans and some of the quality shortcuts.

Edit: 10-13-2020- Still using the case, it works great! Note: **You absolutely CAN fit a radiator in the top of the case. ** I have pictures included from my original install that plainly show that it is possible, and even easy. The price has gone up a bit, probably from how popular the case is, but it's well worth it! _______ original review below__________________ I've included screens of my build. Hopefully you can see on the bottom just how "clean" you can make this. I have no external HDDs or SSDs and am using two M.2 drives to make for an extremely quiet build. If you don't read my whole review, be sure to go to the end where I mention something that messed with me for about 2-3 hours that I finally figured out. (A mysterious SATA3 connector.)

If you don't read my whole review, be sure to go to the end where I mention something that messed with me for about 2-3 hours that I finally figured out. (A mysterious SATA3 connector.) Going to list off the "pros" of this case: 1. The unobtrusive "cutouts". Cable management is a thing! And they do a great job here on this case. Along the bottom where your MOBO meets the case, there are several small holes that you can hardly see until you buy the thing. If you look at my attached pictures, you can get the idea how I ran the cables up through the bottom and did a quick loop back to plug in items like the HD Audio, USB 2 and in my case, the ARBG cable, etc. 2. Great cutouts on the sides. I expect to get middle cutouts -but these have some nice rubber padding that keeps a minimum of light from showing through. Additionally, they had the perfect set up for hiding the CPU power at the top of the case/mobo as well. (Look closely at the top left to see what I mean...) 3. Airflow. It's hard to get a really good feel for just how much flow is available, but the way they situated the glass panel in the front, and cutouts under the fans as well as on the sides means a TON of air flows through the case. As an added effect, when you look directly at the side of the case, the vents almost GLOW with the color of the fans. I built cases for 20 years and basically poo-poo'd the idea of RGB lighting (or even just plain red or green lights on fans) for years. But about a year ago, I finally got on board, and this case REALLY makes RGB lighting come alive. 4. The fans. Lots of complaints from current buyers for some reason. Again, I have no HDDs, though I do have a radiator. I also have the Asus ROG Strix x470 mobo - and it comes with an automatic fan adjuster (that works with overclocking). I'm running my CPU at a consistent 4000Ghz (about an 8 or 10% overclock) and it runs BELOW room temperature. That's with a coolermaster liquid cooler and this case fans on it. Yes, they stay on and only have one speed, but all things considered, it's super quiet, looks great, and does the job beautifully. 5. The glass panels and the metal panel cover on the back. The glass is legit. It's HEAVY. I've also dropped it, and it's durable. I love the grommets they use - it's the first time I've had glass panels that the screws stayed right inside the panel, and it's got elegant hooks on the bottom that make re-attaching the cover the .. seriously, bar none, and I've been a data center sys admin for 20+ years, and have probably put the covers on literally a thousand servers and desktops - the easiest cover to open, remove and re-attach of ANY PC/Mac/Tablet/Phone, etc etc - that I've ever touched. As for the metal cover - I love how easy it was to attach. I love that when I put the glass panel back on, since the metal is already lining all your cables up, it (again) makes the glass uber easy to put back on the case. (See my attached picture). All those cables (which include PCI-e and power for the MOBO, the fan cables for RBG and power, the case connectors, etc) - all tucked away, nice and neat under that metal panel. 6. Bells and whistles. It's got an extra inch or two of width. Makes fitting in radiators on the top of the case actually a thing. (I had to shop around just to find a case that would do that!) If you read the instructions - and the fact it has its own RGB controller (though it's only a button on the top of the case, so it's rather simplified controls...) that's frickin' cool. USB 2 and 3 (two of each) on the top of the case. I love that the power button has RGB and you can control it. Never, EVER seen a case that let me change the power button color. (Or rotate it along with the rest of the fans, etc). Comes with FOUR fans (One is not RGB, though). Oh, and it's ARGB, if you have a controller (or MOBO) that can take advantage of it. That makes this case REALLY economical. Cons: As someone else mentioned, the area for your power supply is pretty tight. Be sure to test the size of everything first. I'm using a modular 750W PSU, and it fits fine, but I had to plug all my cables that I wanted in first - it just didn't fit/wasn't enough room to try to plug them in after it was tucked in. I originally put my PSU in first, before attaching the modular cables and had to take it back out... Please be sure to look at the advertising material about the case. The pictures that s...
If the LED fan lights are not working you probably pulled too hard on the internal wiring. The LEDs are controlled by a separate set of cables then the power to the fans and they easily pull apart. When I first powered it on, only two of them had lights, but simple fix.One of the two front panel USB 2.0 ports was not working for me, taking the front panel apart, showed that one of the pins had came loss from the usb 2.0 connector, pushing the pin back into the connector casing got the front panel working correctly.I'm docking a star for this, but otherwise this is a good case, especially for the price.
I, along with my brother selected this case for a new system he needed. I liked the look and the ease of cable management it provides. However, after installing all the parts and powering on we saw that the leds on the front panel power button and one of the front fans would not display. After troubleshooting, I determined that there is a defect in the power distribution PCB that rests behind the USB ports at the top of the case. I switched connectors to the front fans around and found that all the fan leds work, they just don't get power from the case. Not having all the leds work wasn't a deal breaker for my brother so we let it slide. Cooler Master needs to do a better job at QCing their products.
I've had this case for about a month now. Very satisfied with it overall. Plenty of size for my RX 6800 XT card in there and that is an enormous GPU. Decent space for cable management but not cavernous. Dig the glass panels for both sizes. ARGB triple fans in the front are a very nice touch for the price point... as for flaws: Documentation for this case is bad but with some common sense and assessment of the layout, it is easy to figure out the ins and outs of the case. Also, when I first removed the front panel, the glass panel in the center came out but a little super glue to the corner made it all better and saved me the trip back to Microcenter.
This case has been a great addition to my build. The MSI Ace went in without a hitch except one. The adapter that Cooler Master gives for the ARGB cables needs 1 extra connection. When connecting the adapter as it is prented with the end labled "MSI, Asus, ASRocks" you end up on connector short for all of the lighting provided by the case. There are 3 male fan plugs plus 1 male plug for the front panel from the lights. The adapter had 4 female plugs 1 of which is needed for the motherboard. I am able to connect all of the fans and they work flawlessly but have no place to plug the last male connector to.Also the directions are almost non existent. Just mostly pictures with a few arrows but no descriptions. The image for connecting the ARGB lighting looks like it ... MoreThis case has been a great addition to my build.

The image for connecting the ARGB lighting looks like it states don't do this or this but that depends on interpretation as there is no description.The front fans are connected to an adapter where all three are powered by a Molex connector. This akes me feel like they are just set at a single speed although I have not had time to test if they adjust or can be set differently.These are the only reason I give it 4 stars. Otherwise the case looks and works well. I just need to find a new solution for the ARGB lighting so I can get the front panel lights working.
The media could not be loaded. I used this awesome little case to do a Dell "Opti-Flex" swap. Basically I swapped an optiplex motherboard, cpu and ram into this case with upgraded gpu psu and ssd to make an awesome gaming pc Pros -moves lots of air! -decent cable management -tempered glass -rgb fans can be controlled via included remote or motherboard controls and has extra extension which I hooked the liquid cooler up to - can fit a full size gpu - comes with nice ssd adapters so you can install under gpu or behind motherboard Con(s?) - only thing that I can think of would be maybe add a rear rgb fan but for the price I wasn't expecting that. For the price and features cant Beat this. Best micro atx case hands down
This review is for the Cooler Master MB311L. I bought this case for my first attempt at building a computer. I wanted to build a Micro ATX form factor build and saw this in a video on YouTube. I really liked the Tempered glass side panel, & that the thumb screws used to secure both removable side panels stay attached making it hard to lose them. I found the case easy to build in & there were plenty of cutouts to route cables. I found an adequate amount of room in the backside panel to route cables. The case has a mesh front panel & top panel giving it plenty of ventilation. The fans that come with the case are ARGB & seemed nice, however I could not use them as my motherboard had only 4 pin PWM connectors & these fans were 3 pin. I ended up swapping them out for ... MoreThis review is for the Cooler Master MB311L. I bought this case for my first attempt at building a computer.
