Looks like a PAC-T01 case that been updated to modern times and given a slight new spin.
I like :)

OMG, a coolermaster case that I may actually consider. I bought coolermaster back in the day when they were producing the ATC line but everything after that either (1) had terrible cooling issues or (2) felt cheap.

I wish there was more interior shots

I'm loving it. A few more drilled holes in the tray and we got a real winner for cable management.

ATC making a comeback!

More pics, comparison and MSRP ($269)

Seems a little steep by CM has a tendency of having a high MSRP and quickly dropping street prices. I'm sure this case can be had for $200 shortly after release (at which point I will be all over it)

you missed the latch on the back of the mobo tray to allow access to the heatsink braket if you happen to want to remove the cooler and its already in the case thing.

nah i saw it. Very good idea. should have been implemented in much earlier versions of cases a while ago. nevertheless it doesn't "improve" any type of cooling the components.

Interesting case, but I don't get why they named it for a major defense contractor.

Thanks OP,

I wonder if they are paying to use the name as Raytheon is still around. But looks good. another case with a 120mm in the mobo drawer. Good for those wanting a drawer and good cooling as well. If it is made at least as well as the Wave Master or Praetorian, then it'll be worth $270. considering the value of the dollar now (I believe it has devalued at least 40% in the last two years. Maybe some competition for the Silverstone TJ09/10...

Yeah, nice case, but I would think there's a trademark issue there.

At least they didn't call it the "Lockheed Martin"!

I'll bet my bottom dollar that these will sell for close to $200 within a month of release.

I'm guessing it'll never be called that in the US market, or that the real Raytheon doesn't care or doesn't know about it.
