Cooler Master Elite 301 Lite M-ATX Mini Tower Case

The Cooler Master Elite 301 Lite is a compact M-ATX mini tower case designed to deliver a clean, well-ventilated build experience without demanding a large footprint. Constructed from a combination of steel, plastic, and a tempered glass left side panel, the chassis strikes a practical balance between durability and aesthetics. The all-black finish and integrated PSU shroud keep cables and components neatly hidden, resulting in a tidy interior that is as functional as it looks. Airflow is a priority in the Elite 301 Lite. The front intake panel features a large, unrestricted mesh grille that promotes smooth air intake across the system. Removal of the front panel is tool-free thanks to a magnetic attachment mechanism, making cleaning and maintenance straightforward. The case supports up to six fans in total — three 120mm fans at the front, two 120mm or 140mm fans on top, and one 120mm fan at the rear — while a 120mm black fan comes pre-installed at the rear out of the box. For liquid cooling enthusiasts, radiator support extends to a 280mm unit at the top and 240mm at the front, offering meaningful cooling headroom despite the compact form factor. Despite its modest dimensions, the Elite 301 Lite accommodates full-sized ATX power supplies up to 160mm in length and graphics cards up to 365mm long (measured without front fans or radiator installed). CPU coolers up to 163.5mm tall are supported, giving builders room to install capable air coolers. Motherboard compatibility covers both Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form factors across four expansion slots. Storage options include one 3.5-inch drive bay and up to two 2.5-inch drive bays, providing adequate capacity for a budget or mid-range compact system. The front I/O panel is equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. Cable routing channels of 18.5mm are provided to keep the build tidy, and dust filters are present at the top, bottom, and front to reduce maintenance intervals.
