MasterBox Q300L

Having had a larger PC case for a while I thought it was time to move to a smaller option. I liked the look of the BitFenix cases but at around the £50 mark, the CoolerMaster Q300L was just what I was looking for price and design-wise. Being able to choose where the USB and power buttons are placed is a cool idea but if you want to use it at the top (like in my setup - Pic above) you will need a USB extension to run the cable down the back of the case. There's plenty of room for cable management and the build quality is good. I have a full sized HDD at the back and there's also space for two SSD's. Having all the holes means that you don't get much airflow pressure but I haven't had any heat issues with my overclocked AMD 1700X. If you're looking at having your PC on the floor, I woudn't choose this case as it'll most likely be full of dust in a few months. For desktop, I've had it running 4 months with minimal dust although you can see a slight dust ring around the front intake fan. When setting up be careful with any fluff and this will easily get stuck into magnet dust filter mesh. If you do decide to buy the CoolerMaster Q300L, you'll also need to invest in some fans as it only comes with one medium-volume fan. LED fans looks great and I've added three plus used the included fan as a front-intake. Pros ✔ Cool Design ✔ Build Quality + Cable Management ✔ Removable Magnet Dust Filters ✔ Compact Size Cons - Only One Fan Included - Perspex Window Tint Is Very Dark - USB Cables a little short I also upgraded the CPU fan to a Arctic Freezer 7 Pro and there's plenty of horizontal room left. If you're going for a big CPU cooler, you might have to watch out with the clearance. Cheers, Jim!

This case is really good. I use PC part picker and I highly recommend it for beginners but this case is very cheap if you can't afford a very expensive case and I had no issues I'm using it my pre-build as a home server to store all my stuff and so far it's been fine with temperature. What's good about this case? It's very small and compact and easy and it's not that heavy and the filters are easy to change.

In terms of features this case was very competitive at this price point, overall I'm impressed with the build quality and features. There aren't many good matx cases at this moment in time and the ones that do exist seem to be budget or really expensive. Pros - Nice aesthetic on dust filter. Loads of room for cable management (Even with non-modular psu's) Can position the front Io wherever you want. Very compact but plenty of building space. Good build quality. Fairly cheap. Fits very large graphics cards. Cons - Slightly scratched on inside acrylic panel. Difficult to get acrylic panel off. Could be more mounting points for ssd's/slim hdd's. Overall an excellent case for the price, looks very modern and a pleasure to build in.

Great case , plenty of room for hidden cabling. came with a fan installed which I moved to the roof as an additional out with additional fans fitted to the front to provide a positive airflow, plenty of space to do so.. Has magnetic dust covers on the front and top. And a plastic side panel to show of your led,s. Fits my B450M board and RX 580 card comfortably with the SSD hidden away. A nice compact budget case that I think looks more expensive than it was.

Bought this thing for less than £40 so for the price i can't really complain about anything. It looks great imo Nice looking and adjustable front I/O space for 140mm fans I found it easy to build in plenty of space for cable management rubber feet on the backside so can be placed sideways easily decent included fan fairly lightweight for a case only bad point is that the 3.5" slot for your HDD is in an area of no airflow behind the motherboard so it can overheat but that hasn't affected me.

This is probably the best case you can get for this sort of money but make sure you know what you're doing & what you actually want. I installed a b450 mobo, ryzen 3600x cpu, geforce 1660 gpu, 550 bronze p/s, 16gb 3000 mem, 2 12cm front fans, 250gb ssd & 500gb 2.5" hdd, it all fits perfectly & looks great, under extreme load it's almost silent & hasn't once gone over 65 deg, normal use 35-55. If you want a small, good looking well set up gaming rig, this is the case for you, if you want a ridiculous rgb rig with £2000 of gpu & an overclocked intel i9 .....forget it.

I used this for my first ever PC build; I am a wildlife photographer starting to venture into the world of wildlife videography; I built this PC for 4k video editing as my 4 year old laptop with an i7 processor and integrated GPU just wasn't up to the job, very frustrating to use. Spec for this build: - Asus Tuf B550M motherboard - AMD Ryzen 3600 CPU - Phoenix GEFORCE GTX 1660 super GPU - Corsair RM550x PSU - Western 500gb M.2 NVME primary drive - Seagate Barracuda 4gb storage drive - x3 Antec RGB cooling fans - BenQ 27 inch 4k monitor I have used Windows 10 home OS. All worked a treat and is absolutely rapid, handles the 4k editing and multiple large photoshop RAW files with ease. The case provided ample room for the above build with all cables neatly tidied away. I have space for a third 2.5 inch HDD/SSD should I require it in the future. Case looks great with the full open glass front displaying the build and RGB lighting. I don't often write reviews, however the seller was wonderful. The case originally came with one of the rubber feet missing. Not a huge issue, but all the same I wanted it to be right. I contacted the seller and within 3 days I had a replacement rubber foot in my postbox. Great service and all around a happy customer.

Great design, good airflow, magnetic filters at front top and a removable filter with elastic pins on bottom. Plenty of space inside for 5 fans (I'm using an RX580, would fit a bigger GPU edit: changed to a RX 6800XT had to do some maneuvers to get it in but still fits) and for cable management. But the chassis build quality could be a bit better, got a lot of warping while screwing the fans and where the motherboard sits is a bit uneven, not a deal breaker for me as it was a recreational build. Overall very good looking and great price.
