I don't find the Coolermaster ATC-201 classy looking what so ever, and if may be so bold to add it looks very dated and almost like a generic type case such as iCute you find in certain high street shops.
All about personal taste I suppose especially when I still consider this classy looking (get rid of the floppy) lol

<< sexy

http://www.atcscases.co.uk/ATC210k_VX1/index.html : Thats my one right there, its been through about 6 builds and 2 custom water cooled setups, ahh those were the days!

On another note anybody have a side panel that hasn't got the window? I would be willing to swap plus some cash their way.

How thick is the aluminium throughout on the v2000a compared to the TJ-07?

Im with you Tom, the Coolermaster ATC-201 is still one of THE most stylish cases ever built.
Only cases that come close imo are made by Silverstone eg: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ne Temjin TJ09S Aluminium Tower Case - Silver

I agree the Silverstone is excellent although expensive.

Love mine

Yes it's the Aplus black pearl which is suspiciously identical to a certain Lian Li on the inside.

Aplus cases any good?
ive seen a few in person but have never seen this "black pearl". i thought the quality of the aplus cases i saw was medicore at best.

Was going to say the same thing.

The jury's out on weither their build quality is comparable though.

Because iCute copied the design using cheaper materials, while the Lian Li cases are nice the ATC Black Widow and 110 are nicer

Edit: @ Tosk... shame they're about £350-400 if you even manage to get hold of one outside of Asia.

Tosk · 4 Sep 2008 at 15:22

yea i was trying to find a place to sell me 1 ages ago but it never happened
shame really. and your right they cost a lot, shipping also makes the price
even higher lol.

Monkey Puzzle · 4 Sep 2008 at 16:22

TJ-07 seems the classiest of the cases widely available.

2Thumbs · 4 Sep 2008 at 17:28

I'd rather take a TJ-09/10 over a '07 TBH.

I'm still having trouble deciding on a new case. :rolleyes:

£160 is my highest limit and for that it has to be perfect.
