Cooler Master ATC 210C-DX1

Advantages: Features and expansion
Disadvantages: Value

...The ATC S4000 SX-1 is a much older design than is what is expected off a high end manufatcurer like CoolerMaster. The first that strikes you about the S4000 is its lustrous aluminium finish - it's simply gorgeous. Unfortunatly, the great aesthetics come at a price. A hefty £271 to be exact, this ain't therefore no civilian case. You're not just paying for a great finish, though; the inside edges are smoothly rounded off so your fingers won't end up looking like Freddy Krueguer's once you've finished upgrading. In contrast to the highprice, you can't actually fit all that much inside the S4000 as there are only three 5.25" external and five 3.5" internal drive bays.

Advantages: COOL/QUIET AND LOOKS GREAT
Disadvantages: MAY LOOK ODD IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SILVER CASE

EASE OF USE Extremely easy, provided you’ve fitted a hard drive in a PC before. All you do is just fit the hard drive into the cooler using the supplied fittings then just fit the cooler into a 5.25 inch drive bay (the same size bay as a cd-rom dive). Again just connect the power lead and the IDE lead to the back of the cooler and your done other than putting the cover back onto the case. QUALITY Well as you can see the design is absolutely stunning. It would look best if you have a silver case as the front will match up, otherwise it may look a bit odd. Even so with the curved front it still looks the part in any coloured case. Also gets rid of the noise you will usually hear from the hard drive... Read review

...So you have everything you need for your computer, a fancy mouse perhaps, a new funky looking keyboard, a flat screen monitor even? But what's that tatty old thing under your mouse? You need a funky looking mouse pad to compliment all of your other good looking equipment! The Cooler Master people have some up with this groovy looking mouse pad which is entirely made of polished Aluminium! My dad had this given to him by the company as a promotional goods along with some other stuff like pens. I am yet to find these for sale anywhere but I should imagine that ebay would be the best place to start looking for one. ---------------------------- How it measures up ----------------------------- It measures 17 cm by 22 cm across. ---------- Looks ---------- The mouse mat is all made from aluminium.
