Cooler Master has announced the Q300L V3, the next generation of its compact microATX case, alongside a modular version called the Qube 340.

The updated Q300L chassis supports Mini-ITX and mATX motherboards within a small desktop footprint. It has room for graphics cards up to 366mm long, CPU coolers up to 178mm tall, and up to six cooling fans in total. Airflow potential is boosted by enlarged front-panel perforations and compatibility with a 140mm rear exhaust fan.

Structural improvements over the V2 include reinforced fan mounts, an upgraded motherboard tray, and a tempered glass side panel. For connectivity, the refreshed front I/O panel houses three USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C ports, dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a combo audio jack.

Builders can opt for this standard layout, but the company is also offering the modular Qube 340 alternative. This version shares the same core mATX foundation but introduces optional handles, support for vertical or horizontal system orientations, and flexible front I/O placement. It additionally includes front-mounting support for compatible 3D-printable accessories.

KitGuru says: The original Q300L was a popular budget option, and adding modern USB-C connectivity alongside other improvements sweetens the deal. 

Einarex has officially announced the Pulse PM300, a microATX case designed for high-performance setups that require a smaller footprint. Expanding the company's airflow-focused Pulse series, the new enclosure is engineered to reduce unnecessary volume while maintaining compatibility with modern hardware standards.

The Pulse PM300 supports both microATX and Mini-ITX motherboard form factors. According to the manufacturer, the internal space is optimised to accommodate graphics cards up to 340mm long, standard ATX power supplies up to 150mm long, 240mm radiators (top only), and tower air coolers up to 175mm tall. There's also space for up to 6x 120mm fans, 2x 2.5-inch drives, and another 2x 3.5/2.5-inch drives.

To address the thermal challenges common to smaller enclosures, the Pulse PM300 features a mesh-focused ventilation design that maximises continuous airflow over critical system components. The ventilation design accommodates multiple fan configurations and radiator placements, along with a dedicated routing structure for organised cable management.

According to Einarex, the case is intended for gaming setups, creator workstations, and portable systems that require frequent transport.

KitGuru says: Einarex might not be as well-known as other case brands, but the new Pulse PM300 sure looks like an interesting competitor in the compact case market.

Jonsbo is expanding its case lineup with the launch of the D33 and its wood-accented sibling, the D33 Wood. These Micro-ATX cases are built for enthusiasts who want a “furniture look” without sacrificing the cooling potential required for modern high-end hardware.

Available in black and white across both variants, the D33 series features a compact footprint of 455 x 238.2 x 368.4mm. The standard D33 features a plastic front panel defined by bevelled vertical bars. For the D33 Wood, Jonsbo swaps these for genuine wood slats, utilising a light oak-like wood for the white chassis and a darker walnut-toned wood for the black version. While the wood variant uses straight bars rather than bevelled edges, both models maintain a clean, integrated I/O panel that includes a USB-C port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a power button.

The D33 natively supports motherboards with rear-mounted connectors, such as the MSI Project Zero or Asus BTF series. To accommodate these boards, Jonsbo has engineered a large, component-free zone behind the motherboard tray for routing. This focus on a clean interior does come with a slight trade-off in storage, as the case relies on a single bracket behind the CPU backplate that can hold two 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives. However, this layout leaves the bottom of the chassis open for three 120mm intake fans and two 120 or 140mm fans on the front, depending on whether you're using an ATX or an SFX PSU.

Regarding cooling, the cases use a “sandwich” mounting system for top-mounted radiators. Rather than bolting the cooling kit directly to the chassis frame, the fans, mounting plate, and radiator are layered together into a single module that then attaches to the top panel. While this requires a bit more assembly time than a traditional mount, it allows the D33 to support a full 360mm radiator in a Micro-ATX frame. For those who prefer air cooling, the case offers 172 mm of clearance for CPU towers. Lastly, there's space for PSUs up to 160 mm long and cards up to 435 mm long.

KitGuru says: If you're planning to downsize your build, the D33 looks like a potentially good option for a compact case.

Endorfy has made its debut in the mATX market with the launch of the Signum M30 series, a new line of compact mini-towers inspired by the brand’s successful Signum 300 family. Designed to offer full-sized functionality within a smaller footprint, the series debuts with two distinct models: the Signum M30 ARGB and the Signum M30 Air.

Despite their compact dimensions, the Signum M30 cases do not compromise on hardware compatibility or cooling. Both cases are engineered for high-performance builds and support motherboards in microATX, Mini-ITX, and Flex ATX formats. Regarding GPU and cooling support, these models accommodate graphics cards up to 345 mm in length, CPU air coolers up to 159 mm, and up to a 240 mm radiator.

In both models, the chassis features a mesh front panel that doubles as a dust filter and a perforated top panel for unrestricted airflow. Moreover, each case comes factory-equipped with three Stratus 120 PWM fans: ARGB versions for the M30 ARGB and standard black for the M30 Air. These fans support a fan-stop mode for silent operation and are pre-wired to a PWM splitter for easy motherboard control.

The interior has a modern dual-chamber layout to keep the build tidy, offering dedicated cable routing channels behind the motherboard tray and a left-side tempered glass panel to showcase the components. Storage options are plentiful for the size, with room for two 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch drives. On the front I/O, Endorfy has included a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 port capable of 20 Gb/s speeds, alongside two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and dedicated audio jacks.

KitGuru says: Endorfy is making a smart move by bringing its “Signum” DNA to the microATX space. For builders tired of massive towers but unwilling to give up 345 mm GPUs, the M30 looks like a very balanced contender.
