Phoronix: Cooler Master ATCS 840 EATX

Earlier this year we had looked at the Cooler Master CSX Gargoyle chassis, which was a limited-edition custom-painted chassis that came from their Customize Style Experience (CSX) group. With the CSX Gargoyle selling for over $1,000 USD, it's not economical for most computer enthusiasts or gamers. However, if you are looking for another well-designed Cooler Master chassis that will not set you back nearly as much, there is their new ATCS 840 EATX chassis. The ATCS 840 only costs about $250, but it provides a plethora of room and features.

You're meant to take the packing out of the case before taking photos of the insides. :rolleyes:

One useful feature you forgot to mention is the large hole in the motherboard tray in this photo:-

This is located where the CPU socket sits on a more standard motherboard than your test rig, and allows the fitting/changing of the CPU heatsink without removing the motherboard from the tray.

I think I mentioned it in the article.
