Fact check: Comprehensive comparisons and differences between Cooler Master’s ELITE 301 LITE and MasterBox NR400?
Checked on January 11, 2025
1. Summary of the results
Both cases are budget-friendly options from Cooler Master, but with distinct characteristics:
*MasterBox NR400:
- A smaller mid-tower case supporting Micro ATX and ITX motherboards [1]
- Features a tempered glass side panel and mesh front design [1]
- Dimensions: 411x210x411mm [2]
- Supports up to five 120mm fans or two 240mm radiators [1]
- Priced at $59.99 with two configurations available (with/without optical drive) [1]
ELITE 301 LITE:*
- Features a large intake grill and PSU cover [3]
- Supports up to 365mm graphics cards and 163.5mm CPU coolers [3]
- Includes USB Type-C port [4]
- Can accommodate up to 6 fans and 280mm radiator [4]
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Several important contextual elements should be considered:
- The NR400 is part of a broader trend toward smaller form factor cases for custom builders [2]
- The Elite 301 (non-LITE version) comes with 3x 120mm ARGB fans pre-installed, which might affect price comparison [3]
- The sources don't provide direct price comparison between the two models
- Thermal performance comparisons are not available in the provided analyses
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The request for "comprehensive" comparisons may be misleading because:
- The available sources don't provide a direct comparison between these specific models [3]
- While both cases are from Cooler Master, they target slightly different market segments - the NR400 focuses on compact builds [1], while the Elite 301 LITE appears to prioritize cooling capacity and GPU clearance [3]
- Marketing materials from Cooler Master might emphasize different features for each case based on their target audience rather than providing objective comparisons
