    Cooler Master has released a new "Budget" case. GruntvillE checks this budget offering out to find if it was still up to Cooler Master Standards:

    "No surprise, there is an opening for the PSU (not included) at the top. Above the PSU, is one plastic thumbscrew to hold the top panel in place. I think Cooler Master must have been trying to save a few cents here with this plastic cream colored thumbscrew. In my opinion, it's kinda cheesy. One aluminum thumbscrew would be an easy replacement for this plastic thumbscrew, and it would look a lot less tacky. Even a black plastic thumbscrew would have a little more appeal. Under the opening for the PSU is an 80mm fan hole for rear exhaust (fan not included). The holes for the opening are shaped like fan blades, which I also think is different, though it's somewhat prohibitive to airflow. Of course, this could be easily fixed with a dremel."

    The case is steal, only the front is alu. IMO id rather chuck another 10-20 bucks and get a full alu lian or super flower case.

    Seems like a nice-ish coolermaster front shoved onto a nasty cheap case. Yes its cheap but you seem to get what your pay for.

    It's perfect for people who want a nice looking case that they can shove their hardware in... it's a budget case so it aint gonna be brilliant for modding.

    Personally I like it.
