Cooler Master ATC 220B-AX1 and VX1 - $99.99

Triggerhappy007 · Apr 21, 2003

Azure, I like blue more than green. If it's purple my gf will want it, hehe.

ViperV990 · Apr 21, 2003

also, i hope that magic light doesn't make the azure look purple like it did in some pictures.

It's an UV CCFL...

ooooohhhhhh

what da heck does that mean?

Question, if there are no intake fans, how is air suppose to get into/circulate through the case?

Other than that, I would be on this deal...

mcveigh · Apr 21, 2003

can you take the front door off? I hate doors

I think the Lian-Li's have better workmanship than the Cooler Master cases - Then mobo tray definitely slides out easier. All Thumbscrews. Great Finish.

I heard diff thing from my friend, he said that coolermaster have thicker aluminium than Lian-li, that's why Lian-Li most of the time can sell cheaper than coolermaster.

just mho

for those of you worrying about the lacking of a front intake fan, here's an alternative:

get a couple of these 3.5" front intake hard drive cooling fans to cool your raid setup or just to provide some inflowing air...

Hard Drive Fan

i think i'm gonna order 2 and put one on ebay! that way the net cost for 1 will be close to $50! you also have a few bucks on shipping when you get more than 1.

*cringing at how loud those two mini fans are*

happybob · Apr 22, 2003

not that loud.

2x10.0 CFM at 4500 rpm, 24.6 dBA (less than your background noise ~ 30dBA)

Specs for HD Fans

I also like the additional fan - 2 front with filter, 2 rear, 1 top and a Window.

i've had two cases of each, lian li, and cooler master, and i am of the opinion cooler master is way better quality. not to take away from Lian Li, as those are great TOO, but it's all opinion.

about this case, i called all the PC CLub's around me (san diego) they all didn't have it, i had to order it. shipping was only $7 from LA, so it was all good.

this is my 7th alu case. damn, i need to make up my mind.

im in SD too, i just did an order for instore pickup (yes, i am that cheap!) and it says order pending, so hopefully that means the store is just waiting to receive them. i've never ordered from PCClub before, so we'll see

happybob · Apr 22, 2003

is everyone getting the blue one?
anyone ordering the green one?

guido · Apr 22, 2003

hey scarfase, maybe you should have had it delivered
i'm gonna guess its about 200 miles roundtrip for you.
at the lowest its like 150
put gas at $1.50 a gallon and you still dont really come out ahead, not to mention the wasted time.

TygGer · Apr 22, 2003

So no one is worried about cooling issues?

yeah, i think they ship it from LA to the store you choose. it was probably an idiot on the phone, and didn't know what to say (clairemont store) so i didn't want to risk it. i just ordered it to be sure hehe. this is a great deal.

happybob, yeah i ordered blue too. didn't you know that blue is the favorite color of more people in the world than any other? and i bet the percentage is even higher for males, and even higher for computer afficionados!

scarfase99 · Apr 22, 2003

i actually REALLY liked the Verdant Green, but what turned me off were the pictures of it with the night lite on, it just made it look TOOOOO Green. The blue worried me a bit because it looked purple, but i liked the blue normally anyways, so it's a win-win (i hope).

i've measured my temp for one of my HD (for some reason, i can't get DTemp or SpeedFan to monitor, if anyone can help i'd appreciate it)

***and to whoever said about gas, yeh, i meant in store pickup in San Diego (im not driving that far just to save $7 ;-)) I'm gonna call to see what's goin on tomorow

City of Industry PC Club has a lot in stock. Picked up a blue one today. The last blue one on the floor. Not sure if they have more in the back. Maybe call and ask before anyone heads on down there. But they had like 10 green ones on the floor.

Ok, maybe I'm missing something but what does the ATCS stand for?

happybob · Apr 22, 2003

ATC stands for active thermal cooling...

just ordered 2 blue ones, $29 shipping for 2 to tennessee

PeterPan2002 · Apr 22, 2003

I grabbed the last blue in South Coast, Santa Ana CA. Just couldn't resist anymore. In my small room now I have 3 computer and one new case(1 Dell, 1 HP, and 1 my own built). The good thing is my gf won't come back until the end of May so I have enough time to "smoke" all of them.

INGlewood78 · Apr 22, 2003

Just opened my case...MAN this case looks nice!!! what a steal...I've seen other aluminum cases but you can tell this one is made with quality materials. Anyone in the market for a nice aluminum case should jump on this one quick...
