Cooler Master ATC-710 GX1

Can anybody tell me if the above case is any good?

I can pick one up quite cheap(New & boxed) & wondered if it was worth buying? as i like the look of it.

i saw one of these and considered buying it but i have to get aluminium cases.

The main question is how cheap is cheap. £20-£45 and i would go for it.

But anymore expensive and it is probably worth spending the extra and getting a pc7.

There are a few reviews of the case about. I found this

Its a Chieftec case with a pretty front.

Dragon / Scorpio with a nicer front, not the msot desirable case and very noisey as it needs high CFM to cool well.

another pro is that if your house blew up the case would be left standing
i'm sure they are bullet proof.

i dont think the cooling is that bad, 2x80mm intake, 2x80mm out, but yar mine was noisey

as hyper says, it depends on the price.

Had one for 3 years. Great case. Might not be as efficient as today’s best designs, but doesn’t require ‘high cfm’. The noise signature of 3 x 80’s has the potential to be noisier than todays 120’s, but use the right fans at the right rpm: Nexus, Sharkoon Silent Eagle, Noiseblocker BlackSilent X2, and you’ll achieve cool and quiet. (you can mod the rears to twin 92’s, btw). As mentioned already, built like a tank (inc a thick door) which is another plus for quiet running. Go for it
