COOLER MASTER Elite 481 Wood ARGB MATX Mini Tower Cabinet ( Black )

The Cooler Master Elite 481 Wood ARGB is a compact mATX Mini Tower cabinet designed for builders who want high-end thermal performance without sacrificing visual appeal. Its defining feature is a genuine natural wood front panel that brings an organic warmth rarely seen in PC chassis, making it equally at home on a desk in a living room, creative studio, or dedicated gaming setup. The case wraps your build in 270° of panoramic visibility through dual tempered glass panels joined by 45° bevel edges, giving a seamless, frameless view of your components and lighting. The left side panel is tempered glass while the right is steel, and the front panel combines tempered glass with real wood for a distinctive hybrid aesthetic. Inside, a true dual-chamber layout keeps hardware and cables in separate zones. The right chamber houses the top-mounted ATX power supply (up to 240mm length) and provides 95mm of dedicated cable management space, ensuring the main chamber stays uncluttered. Airflow follows a bottom-to-top vertical path supported by up to nine fans across four mounting positions: three on top (120mm), three on the bottom (120mm), two on the side mount (up to 140mm), and one at the rear (120mm). Three ARGB PWM fans come pre-installed — two 120mm reverse-blade fans on the side intake and one 120mm fan at the rear exhaust. All three use daisy-chain connectors for simplified wiring and are compatible with major motherboard ARGB sync software (ASUS Aura, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome). For liquid cooling, the Elite 481 Wood accommodates up to a 360mm radiator on both the top and bottom, and up to a 280mm radiator on the side mount. A 410mm GPU clearance ensures compatibility with current full-length graphics cards. The CPU cooler clearance is 160mm, covering most tower air coolers. The I/O panel on top provides two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port running at 20 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2), and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. Mesh ventilation panels on the top and bottom enhance passive airflow.
