Cooler Master ATC-111C-SX1 Aluminum Case Review

Cooler Master is well known for some of their top performing heat sinks, but they are not too well known for making all aluminum cases.  But don't let that fool you, their cases are top notch and very high quality.  Lets have a look at one of Cooler Master's finest cases, The ATC-111-SX-1.

The package arrives at our testing facility.

Note that the box says ATCS.  ATCS stands for a Active Thermal Convective system, meaning that the whole case acts like a giant heatsink, to get the heat out of your system.

Opening the box, you can see that the case is packed very tightly and is secure.  You can tell that this kind of packaging doesn't come cheap.
