Cooler Master ATC 210C-VX1

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. Ironically, this is one of the most expensive, made by CoolerMaster, but it has the fewest bays than most of the others in its league. It may be diminutive... Read review

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

...RELIABILITY Never had a failure from this product and also all the CoolerMaster products I’ve used have always been 100% reliable. 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... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...First of all the Cosmos S case comes in excellent protective packaging. A sturdy cardboard outer box encases two styrofoam blocks (top & bottom) which prevent the case from moving at all during transportation. The case is wrapped inside of a plastic bag, and then again, inside Cooler Master's own fabric bag which is brown in colour and is strong enough to retain and use in the future whenever the case needs covering. It's the little extra's and attention to detail that makes a lot of difference in my opinion. If first impression's are anything to go by, then this case ticks all the boxes. It's huge, beautiful and demands the attention of any passer by, whether they are interested in computers or not! Along with the case comes a plastic bag containing all of the necessary bits and pieces to assemble the case and control the cable... Read review
