Hey all any idea if the Zalman 9900Max will fit inside a Coolermaster Elite 310?? I would test it out myself but i want to be able to return the case or cooler if they wont fit.

use newegg to get the parts.

They offer return service but you will pay a restocking fee.

This may be the only solution to your question.

Zalman 9900max The product measures 94 (L) x 131 (W) x 152 (H) mm and weighs 730 grams.

Specifications:

Model

RC-310-BWN1-GP
191 x 437 x 468 mm / 7.5 x 17.2 x 18.4 inches

By this info i can infer that if the Mobo is a few mm thick and the cpu is a few thick then you will be very very close fit. make sure you do not have a side vent fan i think..

"Conclusion

For the sub $40 price tag, the Elite 310 is great for the gamer on a budget. The thickness of the sheet metal dialed in at about 0.71mm according to my caliper, which is definitely acceptable for the price. I have seen plenty of cases marked at the same price that were obviously lower quality and used thinner metal construction. The paint is durable, the case is lightweight, but rigid, it's attractive, and comes with a pre-installed Plexiglas window. Replaceable PCI slots and a little more room at the top would have been nice, but it’s hard to argue that those things should be included for the price. Although all the interior edges were rolled, I did cut myself picking it up by the rear hole that the power supply shows through. This is how I’ve handled all my cases, and this is the first one that cut me by carrying it that way. The one edge Cooler Master did not roll for safety is the one that ended up showing me to be more careful. That aside, the case is a worthy purchase, especially for its small dip into the wallet.


Pros:

* Affordable price
* Attractive look
* Available with or without side window


Cons:

* Expansion slot covers do not reattach
* Not enough room at the top for large heatsinks
* No assistance for wire management" Info found here
