HI All -
not much of a poster - and haven't been active online for PC builds for a long time & can't for the life of me think what my old account username was from early 2000's.
it was nice to find some historic chat about the ATCS cases as ive always liked these - had one of the early versions around 1999/ 2000? - maybe a 201 but thought it only had 3 5.25 bays - I could be wrong though .
Anyway I thought any coolermaster ATCS fans may like to see this fairly rare beast
. just started cleaning it and stripped the 4x80 fans 2x120 and the rather interesting 300mm crossflow fan, also all removed for cleaning/replacing ..along with most other bits and bobs. was originally going to build my latest build in the limited release Alienware 7500 ALX case but have decided to go with this - my sons going to build up the Alienware after his purchased all the new parts and a new gpu..(2025)
If you are not familiar, this is the Coolermaster ATCS 310 from 2001 (server)
its fairly large compared to my old ATCS case.
592 mmX 363 mmX 558 mm
Case :12Kg
It was a great find all cover panels were immaculate and it is in the process of cleaning up rather nicely
Appreciate these old cases are not to everyone's tastes - but I still like them.
As previous people have said - some new modern fans and that cross flow fan (which is pretty impressive - ill photo that installed when ive finished cleaning...
Any way ill be slowly building her up and installing some updated kit - not the latest, mostly new from the outgoing models id expect. I recently did a warranty replacement on my 13900ks so will be putting the new 13900ks in this.
cheers
