In the end we felt that the Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced is a very suitable case for anyone wanting to build a much smaller gaming rig. With many new motherboards in the ITX range overclocking pretty well and the fact the case can support any GPU curr...
Here I sit really torn as to which way to go with the Elite 120 Advanced. Its main competition the BitFenix Prodigy is better equipped, and in my opinion, it took the design to the edge, without making things look gross. On the flip side, that chassis...
Can contain quite a powerful system. Will take a full-sized graphics card. Extra room for long PSUs. Incredibly cheap
Limited flexibility. Cooling options aren't great
At AU$59, it's hard to complain too much about the Elite 120 Advanced's lack of flexibility. A mid-ranged system should be perfectly happy inside it. Still, unless you're space challenged, it's worth springing more cash on BitFenix's Prodigy instead....
Good design, Price, Enough space for a fairly large GPU
Lack of space for big chip chillers, A bit boring as far as looks go

Great value for money, Room for long graphics cards, Good build quality, Quiet fans
Limited CPU cooler headroom, Uninspiring design
Overall we are left with generally good impressions of the Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced. It has been cleverly designed to house a powerful mini-ITX based system, making it ideal for a portable LAN gaming PC as there is plenty of room for large graphi...
So there we have it, the Elite 120 Advanced M-ITX chassis from Cooler Master, I can honestly say this chassis was an absolute pleasure to work with, when I took it out of the box I didn't really think much of it, its design is that of a large shoe box at...
Great build quality, Compact, Good, quiet cooling, Support for high-end graphics, Very affordable
Limited CPU cooler options, Limited cable management options
Building with the mini-ITX form factor appears to be a popular avenue many enthusiasts are taking and as a result computer case manufacturers have their work cut out to combine quality, appearance whilst maintaining a condensed design. So how does Coo...
