That looks a bit ugly for my liking. PMSL at the last description in the picture, "personal space for user to put stuff on." What like a hamster? lol.

It reminds me of those XClio's. They make babies cry

I would have thought that Coolermaster would have designed something better...

Looks remarkably like the PC-A70. Hopefully it may come in cheaper cause I don't think it looks that bad.

Wait, it is, from the Article :

"Cooler Master will bring it to Europe for around a reasonable 129 Euros."

Taking a closer look, it the A70 is still may choice.

Are we looking at the same case?

It looks like an antec 900 wannabe... The front reminds me of it. It's like Coolermaster just got a list of things that would make a case good and threw them all into one case. That does NOT make it good it makes it look like a mess. Unless you are into that, I prefer the look of a clean, minimalistic case such as the p180 or the Lian Li's.

Imo it looks like a simplified Antec 900/1200.

Wish they would go back to their ATC days,just add some newer features that were not present when the ATC range were in production.

I have been thinking of changing my CM110,but i would keep it without a second thought if i could replace the 80mm fans with 120mm fans somehow,and have some usb ports up front of the case.

That case is awful,although i do like the built in ashtray on top...nice.

I like this. a lot.

Reason? I always choose my cases for function over form. I spend my time looking at my monitor, not my case while gaming

I love the triple play fan in the roof goodness if I wanted watercooling with 120.3 rad or the option to fit a much larger single fan for some quiet air cooling.

Also, at the suggested price if it hits europe seems a alright.

Ilike the design of this case, a lot of thought has gone into it, any idea of a release date.

AtreuS · 1 Aug 2008 at 10:50

A bit ugly but some nice ideas such as the hole behind the cpu so you can change coolers without taking the whole system to bits, and the anti vibration pads on the HDD sliders ( assuming they work ).
Would be good for someone wanting watercooling but not wanting to start cutting holes for radiators.

point decay · 2 Aug 2008 at 10:07

the ability to mount the psu at the top or the bottom is a pretty good idea imo, but the case itself looks like a 690 with a fur coat on..

Yeah I agree with you mate. I actually think it looks really cool. I have a CM 690 atm and can't wait to upgrade to this. Should be easily better than the CM690 for cable management.. oh and the space and cooling should be a bonus too

Colossus · 14 Aug 2008 at 17:24

I really like the internals. They have finaly got round to using a lot of things i have wished for for ages.

BUT its ugly as sin. I wish they make a 'classy understated' version in the image of the CM201's of old / lian-li. I hate these so called 'gamer' cases.

Kelt · 14 Aug 2008 at 21:10

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think it looks stunning. I've been looking at the Antec 1200, Nzxt Tempest, for my next case but think I'm going to get this one. Ticks most of my boxes in a case. Hope OCUK stock them, I'll be able to get free postage on it! (Assuming they get it in stock before the trial ends!)

beefybarn · 14 Aug 2008 at 21:33

Ive used the tempest in a lot of builds but i think this might be the next case to move onto.

I really like how it will accommodate up to a triple 120mm radiator at the top. Pity the rear and side fans don't come with led's though. Minor niggle. And would have liked it black inside as per the Antec 1200. Still gonna get one though.

Kanifee · 14 Aug 2008 at 22:48

Looks like the front hasnt been finished, like the front panel is missing, pretty poor and most expensive i expect!
