Cooler Master has a good reputation for CPU coolers and quality aluminum PC cases. The 210 is no different. With good temps with no front fan.
Aesthetically, the ATC-210 is very pleasing. The brushed aluminum case with the fogged lexan drive door is a good match.
Pros :
Aluminum construction Light weight but study construction Aesthetically pleasing Quiet Good temperatures with no front intake
fan 2 USB ports up front and accessible with
out having to open the door Slide out motherboard tray Thumb screws every where Rolled edges
Cons :
No front intake fan Power supply installation is a little of a hassle The side panels were a little tight, may
lead to a bent panel if not careful Hard drive mounting positions may cause
damage to LEDs or Switches Would have liked to seen drive rails Overall I am very happy with this case. No longer do I have a case that sounds like a military just at full throttle just to get the temperature down to a level where I want it to be. Just because the case is made out of aluminum don't let that fool you, this case is very sturdy. At no time did I notice any "flex" in the frame when I had the side panels off. The fans performed as expected, but can be upgraded. I honestly expected to see higher temperatures due to no front intake fan. That shows that they have a right to call it a passive cooling system. The door can be relocated to open on either side. Just swap the hinges around. I think that Cooler Master has another winner on their hands with this case.
With a few minor flaws that can be overlooked, avoided or worked around this is a great case. I would like to see Cooler Master put out another case like this one with more 5 1/4 bays. This case comes Very Highly Recommended.
I would like to thank Jason at Cooler Master
for sending us this case to review.
