The Cooler Master Elite 130 is a beautiful, high-quality, and inexpensive SFF case. It may not be as as compact as the Cooler Master Elite 100, but as it supports a conventional power supply and a long, dual-slot video card, it is an excellent option for...

Great space efficiency for a miniITX case, Excellent value for money, Dual slot GPU installation up to 1213″, Multiple 3.5″ HDD/2.5″ drive installation potential
Plastic case feet, No dust filter for the side, Cannot remove optical drive bay, 80mm side fan bracket tends to be an obstacle during installation
The case is nicely made and well designed, provided you get the right components. Semi-modular/modular power supplies are something you should seriously consider when you're using such cases.People who want space efficiency will give this a serious look...
With the popularity of the Elite 120 it isn't a surprise that Cooler Master would be interested in putting out another Mini-ITX case. I was a little surprised at first that the Elite 130 is the same as the previous model with the front design changed sli...
Accommodates 120mm closed loop water cooler, Can use full sized ATX power supplies and full length graphics cards, Fullsized 5.25″ drive bay, Three front USB ports, Aggressively priced
No intake air filter, Drive mounting system makes cable management problematic for more than two drives
Hackintosh builds are well-suited for the mini-ITX form factor since SLI and CrossFireX aren't supported in OS X. Since you can only have one graphics card, it might as well be a powerful one, and the Cooler Master Elite 130 mini-ITX case easily accommoda...
The only nitpicking I can do deals with the lack of rubber pads on the feet and the odd inclusion of a single pass through hole at the back. Obviously, neither of those two items are major concerns that would influence the overall usability of the Elite...
Low price, room for 120mm AiO solution, room for large PSU's, unique HDD/SSD mounting system
Can be a little tight to work in, but that's the nature of most MiniITX cases
If you're looking to build the perfect HTPC or a micro-sized gaming monster, the Elite 130 is the case for you. Discuss in the Forum...

While very compact being the name of this game, Cooler Master is able to deliver a design that not only allows for a full sized power supply, but it has an ODD bay that we can actually use, offers plenty of locations for storage drives to fit any layout,...

Abstract: 2014 could be the year of the small desktop. An ever growing number of motherboard manufacturers are introducing Mini ITX boards, as well as a lot of new cases that are being put on the market. We thought this called for a new test on Hardware.Info of t...
Low price makes this incredible value for money, 13.5″ GPU support (Including AMD 7990 and GTX 690), Full size ATX PSU support, Room for up to 3 x 3.5″ or 5 x 2.5″ drives, Great front panel redesign, Water cooling support
Dust may be an issue with so much ventilation and no filters, Low profile CPU cooler required (easily resolved if you use a 120mm AIO water cooler),
PriceThis is the biggest win for the Elite 130, it's priced far cheaper than many of its direct rivals from companies like Silverstone and BitFenix. Given its overall component compatibility and front panel design it's an absolute bargain for just £45.95...
