Today we are going to take a look at another case that was introduced at CES 2011. The Cooler Master Elite 371 was on display at Cooler Master's suite at the Bellagio, so we had a chance to preview this one a few months back. My impression at the time was that it looked like a solid budget case but now we will get to put it through the paces for a full evaluation.



The first thing I note is that most of the fan locations are marked as optional; indeed the Elite 371 only comes with a single fan. Depending on what sort of hardware you are looking to install, it might be worth grabbing a couple of extra fans.

Let’s grab the box and open it up.
