Masterbox Lite 3.1 value?

[Aidanlockett1]

The masterbox 3.1 lite is 40$ solid on newegg rn and its micro atx with a tempered glass side panel, anyone know if its good quality?

It is but IMO better options for the price

 

also i'm pretty sure it isn't TG

The side panel's actually just acrylic, not tempered glass.

 

It's alright. But another thing I'd also recommend is the Fractal Design Focus G Mini. It's about the same price, but you get better airflow (open front bezel), and also fan mounts on the top.

That's a nice one, but for matx I still prefer the Define Mini C: Yes it optimizes sound and not airflow but given the reasonable space it's still capable of reasonable high end components without running into thermal issues.

 

Though for looks alone this masterbox is also rather nice looking, it's just missing the PSU shroud to be ideal but this being a masterbox you can probably get that separate

It all comes down too how much you want to pay. (Also note, the Define C mini comes in TG for a $5 increase over the window'd sku)
