Cooler Master Elite 490 White ARGB M-ATX Mini Tower Case

The Cooler Master Elite 490 White ARGB Mini Tower Case (SKU: E490-WHNN-S00) brings together a clean, modern aesthetic and a compact mATX footprint without forcing you to trade away cooling headroom. The standout design feature is the 270-degree dual tempered glass panel arrangement — both the front and side panels are glass, with seamlessly beveled edges that deliver an unobstructed panoramic view of your components and lighting from virtually any angle. Despite its mini tower dimensions, the Elite 490 accommodates up to a 360mm radiator, making it fully viable for high-performance liquid cooling setups. Three ARGB fans are pre-installed out of the box: two reverse-blade fans positioned as side intake and one standard rear exhaust fan. All three use daisy-chain connectors for cleaner cable routing, and they are compatible with major motherboard ARGB software ecosystems for synchronized lighting control. The chassis supports up to 9 fans in total, using a bottom-to-top airflow layout to efficiently exhaust heat upward and out. On the connectivity front, the front I/O panel features two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, delivering transfer speeds up to 20 Gbps — a meaningful upgrade for users moving large files between external drives or connecting modern peripherals. Top and bottom mesh ventilation zones further support unrestricted airflow, while dedicated dust filters at both locations help keep internals cleaner over time. GPU compatibility is expansive: the chassis supports graphics cards up to 410mm in length (per the source description for RTX 50 Series readiness), with the merged attributes listing a maximum GPU clearance of 425mm — making it future-ready for high-end discrete graphics. CPU air coolers up to 170mm tall are supported, and PSUs up to 250mm in length fit without issue. The case houses one 3.5-inch HDD and one 2.5-inch SSD, along with five expansion slots.
