CoolerMaster Elite 481 Wood Case - White

Cooler Master Elite 481 Wood in white is a compact Mini Tower case aimed at more stylish and clean Micro ATX configurations. It combines a small form factor with good internal flexibility and the possibility for serious cooling. Despite the compact size, it supports long power supplies up to 240 mm and CPU coolers up to 160 mm. You also get a built-in ARGB hub and modern I/O ports, so you don't compromise on convenience and appearance.

What you get

The Micro ATX format allows you to build a stable gaming or work build in a smaller volume, without unnecessary bulk on the desk. Support for up to 3 x 120 mm fans on the bottom and 3 x 120 mm on the top panel means you can build a serious airflow, suitable for warmer GPU/CPU combinations. The top panel also supports water cooling with a radiator up to 360 mm, so if you plan an AIO, you have room for larger solutions. Power supplies up to 240 mm give you the freedom to choose a more powerful PSU without worrying about space for cables. The ARGB hub and white color make the case a good base for a clean, illuminated build with well-organized RGB effects.

Who it's suitable for

This case is suitable if you want a compact Micro ATX system for gaming or work, with an emphasis on good airflow and the option for water cooling. It suits builds with one main GPU and a standard set of storage devices. It's not the best choice if you're looking for a huge Full Tower with tons of drives and multiple GPU cards.

The most sensible aspect of Cooler Master Elite 481 Wood is the combination of small form factor, serious support for fans and radiators, and convenient front ports. If you want a clean, white, and functional case for a Micro ATX configuration, this chassis offers a lot of flexibility for its size.
