  "Overall the Cooler Master Elite 430 is a good product more keen on delivering options than performance. However it really seems to fit a specific scenario for optimizing it's features. If you're the type that saves on all other components but splurges on graphic cards, then this could be exactly what you need: affordable, small, but can fit any high-end GPU."

  "Overall, I was impressed with the Cooler Master Elite 430 out of the box. Nice looks, side window, good layout and good temperatures. Adding just a simple 120mm exhaust fan elevated its performance to another level, and made it that much more interesting."

  "The case, though light, never felt flimsy. There are plenty of potential fan locations with the intakes using dust covers, as well as the ability to put a 2�120mm sized radiator up top so the case will be a good choice for air or water cooling."
