Cooler Master Announces MasterBox Q300 Series Cases

Cooler Master, an award-winning computer hardware manufacturer, today announces the release of the MasterBox Q300 Series. Size, build potential, portability and modularity are the essential traits of the two-case lineup.

Although both cases fit mATX motherboards, the MasterBox Q300P and Q300L are also able to support a full-sized ATX power supply and up to a 240mm front radiator. The Q300P and Q300L provides a platform for builders to create a small and portable gaming rig for LAN use with the power needed to support high-demand gaming sessions.

"Case options in the mATX market aren't as vast as our community would like," said Matteo Stracciari, Case General Manager at Cooler Master. "People that want a compact, customizable gaming case can look forward to the Q300 Series."
High Flexibility for System Building
One of the most interesting parts of the Q series is the I/O panel, it can be adjusted to a total of six different locations having placement options on the front, top and bottom of both sides of the case. This allows the Q300 series to fit into smaller-than-usual spots at home or at the office.

Minimized Dimension with ATX PSU Support
Despite the mATX form factor, the MasterBox Q300 Series can accommodate a standard ATX PSU ensuring that mATX builds will get as much power as needed. A 28mm space behind the motherboard provides enough room to easily manage the ATX PSU and cleanly route cabling.

The Q300L
As the straightforward option of the series, the Q300L is characterized by patterned dust filters on the front and top panel. These patterned dust filters are magnetic and can easily be taken off for easy cleaning. The case can also stand horizontally or vertically depending on your preference. Once the orientation of the case is decided, move the I/O panel to a convenient spot of your choice.

The Q300P
Portability and RGB Lighting
The added four handles make the Q300P easy to carry and transport, proving it to be an ideal case for anyone looking to complete their next LAN build, while the DarkMirror front and top panels give it a distinctive look. Two pre-installed 120mm RGB LED fans behind the front panel and RGB lighting at the top front illuminate the Q300P. One RGB controller is included in the accessory pack. Users can connect the reset button cable and control the RGB lighting directly from the I/O panel if the motherboard does not come with RGB capabilities.

Present and future editions of the Q300 Series will be compatible within the mATX lineup, allowing the series to evolve and develop over time. Learn more about the Q300L and Q300P with the links provided.

Pricing & Availability
The Q300L and Q300P are available for purchase online and in stores for a starting MSRP of 39.99€ (Q300L) and 69.99€ (Q300P.)

That's a rather bad IO placement. It only works if you have it on a desk. Having it next to a desk is a no go since it would obstruct the buttons and USB's... I wonder if they could make it modular, so you could move around the IO "front panel" to all 3 or 4 sides. Left, right, top and front.

The Q300P sound like a hot box. Not enought air to the fans. But the Q300L , with this mesh in the front and this price.. Sounds a good small case to have.

You're right - it says it can be adjusted to the front, top, or bottom of either side - I don't see how without changing the glass side panel or right side panel. My bad - it must be a mistake in the marketing literature.
