There are many gotchas in finding a low priced yet versatile case for the Mini-ITX form factor. We had to go through more than two dozen case designs with a fine toothed comb before settling on this one. When it comes to highest value over all points of potential interest this case has got to be it. There's sufficient room for the stock CPU cooler, sufficient room for a standard ATX12V PSU, sufficient room for a high-end 13.5" GPU, sufficient room for 3x 3.5" HDD, 5x 2.5" HDD, and/or SSD, even one external 5.25" bay (great for a full sized ODD). It has good air-flow that pushes from back-to-front (several other designs had fans fighting each other), a 120mm fan, filtration that is easy to clean, and yet it is still a refreshingly small case: just 8.2" x 9.4" x 15.7". Plus this is a nice shape that takes little space on the desktop, and doesn't fall over like towers. And they stack quiet nicely.

The Cooler Master RC-130-KKN1 was a breath of fresh air after hours and hours of frustration over other designs all having at least one flaw, or too high a price. It is clear that a number of other reviewers feel the same. Consumer ratings are averaging 4 stars out of 5. But we give it 5 out of 5.
