HUGE!

review by e911

I purchased this case used from a local PC shop. They had a pair of them, and I took the one least beat up / scratched. I have not fully built my system, however once it's completed, I will update this review.

I am thrilled that I found this case. I have always been a fan of the very large, full atx towered cases. My current case is a Thermaltake Armour and this ATCS makes it look TINY!

Check back for more updates!

ProsCons
Lot's and Lot's of Room!Not all of the parts were with the case :(

I have the same case and I love it, but it came with some quality control issues. The motherboard tray just doesn't fit perfectly. You have to push it into place with the screws in the back and the 5.25 inch bays are extremely tight. You have to line up drives just right to get them to fit. One of my upper fans went bad and started squeaking. It may have something to do with the fact that I turned it into an intake. Other than those issues it's quite nice. I currently have an XSPC Rasa 750 360 kit installed. The radiator fits up top with the included brackets, but it sits a little far to the back and I really need some 45 degree barbs, but it works. I also had to drill out the rivets holding the angled brace at the back of the motherboard tray. It blocked access to the barbs. I went ahead and removed the bottom one, too.
