Cooler Master ATCS 840 Review

bags · 31 Oct 2008 at 12:05

Bit-tech have a ATCS 840 review up

Looks a fantastic case but doesn't cool as well as the HAF 932.

Looks like you can place extra fans on the back of the HDD cage though, and on the floor.

Looks like a truly great case, finally something offering features that people want, lots of large fans, cable managment, understated looks, what looks to be dust filters, etc in one case.

Lian Li's are great (own a V350) but the cooling sucks. They absolutely suck at cooling. Even the Armorsuit PC-P80 has no where near enough exhausts.

phwoar look at the clearance on that

that's what plagues me with my atcs 110, hard to get certain cpu/gpu coolers in the case without modding it

£185 is the price they say in there, was hoping more towards £150

it looks like a very nice case. but i really dislike the top of the case.

That look bloody brilliant. I'l just wait for someone to buy one, not like it, and sell it in the MM for a nice saving

It's a nice case but it's going to be way overpriced for what it is.
So will never be that popular.

And in it's price range there are far better looking and better performing cases imo.

What though?

Antec 1200 & Coolermaster HAF feature similar cooling performance but their looks are aimed at a different market.

Something like the Lian Li V1010 has nothing on this.

£185 ? erm there's loads ? Lian li ,Silverstone just because something is £200 + from here doesn't mean it's not sub £200 elsewhere.

Lovely looking case very tempted to make it my next build

But I think I need to concentrate on silence factor lol

The case is soo silent that you can only hear the cpu cooler spinning. when is this case coming out?

I thought that lol was an acronym for laughing out loud so perhaps you do need to concentrate a little harder. :rolleyes:

Looks lovely.

If I was still in the market for a high end classy case I expect I would have gone for one of these.
