You might think it's a mesh case, but it's not. Take a look at the second pic and see how much obstruction there is in the front & top.

I thought this was a pretty neat case when it first came out. I was going to get one until Gamer Jesus tested it. The Fractal Design Focus 2 is a significantly better case at around the same price point.

I would not recommend this case unless you never need to move it or open it. Unless they changed the design, the rubber feet fall off and the little rubber clips that hold the bottom mesh fall out.

Focus 2 was great until the glass shattered upon touch. Really uncommon defect but be careful nonetheless.

The bottom mesh is flimsy can also get folded when those rubber feet fall off
However, I did love the form factor this case for the ATX version, Q500L. I didn't have issues having the intake fans for cpu. GPU temps might suffer a lot if your bottom intake is choked.

Used this in my build. Works great. The magnetic mesh filters are annoying when moving it around, but they are easily removed and replaced. It was easy to build in. My build was simple, though. If your build is complex, it may not be the right fit. The size is great, too.

Yup, its a hot box unfortunately. People shouldnt buy it unless they are going to mod it, or use lower end parts that wont produce much heat.

I've been using this case for 3 or 4 years maybe and I've been pretty happy with it. It's small but I've fit both a 120 AIO and a hyper 212. There is plenty of room for fans (I have 4 plus the radiator), but some stuff does have to be strategically placed to avoid the motherboard and other components. It also fits my 3 fan gpu.

I should not have bought this case for my build and I'm probably going to get a larger case soon since it's getting tight in there, but the temps are honestly totally fine for a mid range PC (6650xt/ryzen 5600).

You're totally fine to pull the trigger if you're building a PC under maybe $600 with on board graphics or a low end video card. Anything stronger, I'd go larger just because of space.

People are too paranoid about temps for a cheap mATX case. You aren't buying one of these to put $4000 worth of top of the line components in.

Edit - also note the PSU isn't in a separate compartment so it's in full view all the time. Also, the modular IO is very handy. I was able to put my radiator on the front and move the IO to the top.

That was the Q500L, in which Cooler Master reworked this Q300L case to accept an ATX motherboard by changing the PSU placement from the bottom rear to behind the front panel, where it obstructed airflow.

This is a fair assessment of this case IMO. It was pretty popular when introduced, and I believe predated the airflow era, so it was fairly innovative in its time. This case was featured in A LOT of Tech tuber's budget build videos. As long as people know what they're getting, it seems to be a decent enough deal.

You can usually tell when something is "too good to be true" by way of YouTubers latching onto it.

I built in this case last year with a i5 12400, msi b660, 3080 founders and corsair 850 watt on air with 7 id-cooling fans including cpu cooler and I've had 0 issues with temps. The mesh screens make dusting easy. As for moving it around I can't attest to that because my pc stays in the same place always. Just fyi the side panel can be oriented however you like. I wanted to go with a smaller than mid size case this time and this fit the bill. Being a slick deal for $30 at the time via gamestop made it even better.
