Quite a good read and a few pics of some cases i had never heard of. The Chilli Professional looks very very sweet.


I'll let you read to see who wins :)

On the Coolermaster ATC-101-SX4 I really like how the intake fan you can angle and adjust it like that, more manufactures should do that, also promotes better flow path more air presure to your hot spots. The fan doesn't really need to be way tucked infront of the case pointed in kind of a useless direction away from your CPU and graphics card. I never mount my fans in the front anymore always in the mid bottom facing angled towards the graphics card and CPU. Complaint; they could have fited a 92mm instead of 80mm there, and I see no decent opening for the fan to pull its air from.

A Pic of what im talking about, look in the detailed photo gallery

I like the Coolermaster 201 for its attractive nice and effective open grill up front, and the PC-61 for its color and i don't like it cause of its poor intake. Something between these two would be my pick, i could care less for USB access (my monitor already has a USB hub), rather not have it to see another cord clutter my case, and wouldn't want the chimney fan because that would open the case in my direction and would sound louder. And they need bigger intake and exhaust fans 92 or 120mm :) So i can add in very low speed fans adn still have some decent amount of air, which an 80 won't really get me.
