Cooler Master has officially launched the Elite 461, a new M-ATX PC case featuring a dual-chamber side-transparent design. The product was introduced on May 5, 2026, targeting gamers and enthusiasts seeking high airflow and aesthetic appeal. This release marks an expansion in Cooler Master's portfolio of mid-tower chassis options available for the current market.
The Elite 461 supports up to 11 fans measuring 120mm each, ensuring robust cooling capabilities for demanding hardware configurations. The case accommodates graphics cards with a maximum length of 410mm and power supplies up to 200mm in height. Additional features include support for top-mounted radiators up to 360mm and front or right-side mounting options for 240mm units. Storage capacity is provided via one 3.5-inch drive bay and two 2.5-inch bays, while cable management allows for a clearance of 95mm.
Pricing for the Elite 461 starts at 199 CNY (about $29.09) for the black version and 219 CNY (about $32.02) for the white version in China. Both color options are available for purchase immediately following the launch announcement on May 5, 2026. These prices represent entry-level positioning within the mid-tower case category.
The chassis is offered in black and white finishes to suit different build themes and preferences. With its focus on fan density and radiator support, the Elite 461 is well-suited for high-performance gaming rigs that require efficient thermal management. The dual-chamber side-transparent design adds a visual element that distinguishes it from standard opaque cases.
Cooler Master has not confirmed whether this model will be released in regions outside of China at this time. Further details regarding international availability or specific pricing adjustments for other markets remain unclear based on current information.
