CoolerMaster ATC-200

[Marty]

Does anyone have any comments on this case? I'm going to college this fall and need something a bit more managable than my FS020. Are there any reviews?

Also, a question about cooling: This case has twin 80mm fans in front of six HDD bays. Would this be sufficient for a 15Krpm SCSI drive and twin 7200rpm IDE drives?

Finally, is anyone selling these? Where can I buy one?

Just did a search and found where to buy one. The questions still stand though...

If you found the one from http://www.thechipmerchant.com, well, i've walked into their store and seen it. it is an awesome looking case. And it is very, very ,very lightweight. It seems very solid, and it seems like a nice case.

But hte price makes me cringe 😉.

Here are 2 different reviews of the case.

I have the case and it's great. I have 2 10k rpm drives running and those 2 80mm fans cool them just fine. One thing about the case is the fans that come with the case was a bit weak for my tastes. They are Y.S Tech fans, but they aren't really that powerful, I replaced them with better fans.

Like Mike said, the case is solid and very nice, but once you have all the components installed it still weighs quite a bit.
