White, compact and aimed at budget gaming builds, Cooler Master’s Elite 302 sits in the brand’s entry level case line, competing with other small footprint MicroATX towers from the likes of DeepCool and Thermaltake. You get the modern look people want for a first build, tempered glass to show off components, and ARGB lighting without needing to add fans on day one.

Who is this case for?

It makes most sense for anyone building a MicroATX system where desk space matters but airflow still can’t be an afterthought. The included trio of ARGB fans helps keep GPU and CPU temperatures in check, while the tempered glass side panel suits clean cable work and RGB focused parts. If you prefer a quieter, more understated PC, you may end up turning the lighting down or off.

  • Compact mid tower layout, suited to MicroATX builds that still want upgrade room
  • 3x included ARGB fans, so you can light and cool the system from the start
  • Tempered glass side panel, for a clear view of your build and lighting
