Cooler Master ATC Cases: A lost masterpiece

[Seven]

Hey guys and girls,

Whilst looking for a decent upgrade...I stumbled across the Cooler Master ATC cases, which have now been mostly discontinued everywhere. I remember these as probably the sexiest cases of their time, if not of all time. Acrylic doors, sometimes lighted were pretty sweet. That little bit of tint on all the acrylic made it that much nicer. Everything was included, pretty much almost WaveMaster esque...it was awesome.

Bit Tech Review of ATC (http://www.bit-tech.net/review/179/)

I'm looking to buy one off AxionTech sometime soon, maybe for my yearly upgrade...should be nice.

If anybody can find a few nice mods of them (besides the Liquid_Cooled one, I've seen that), then I would worship you as a god. I remember seeing a very very clean one on Bit-tech, but I can't dig it up.

Let me know if you have any experiences with this, I'd like to know.

I have one where i reverse airbrushed the Thundercats logo. I dont even use the case anymore. I'd have to check if it is the same model you are looking for...brb

Agh, its this case that I have. Its just a weekend mod. Thru together a window and added a little airbrushing for a friend of mine to tag along at CPL. I think its an ATC series case, but maybe not the one you were looking for.

Here is another of the same case. There is more pics, but they are huge.

I just knew that was GruntmaN's rig...

That's the ATC110 I think, the same one MaximumPC used for their 2004 Dream Machine I believe...

I'm looking for the ones with the acrylic front door and side door, those were amazing...

I remember a sweet mod of the blue version...but I can't seem to find it.

That's the one I'm talking about. The lighted door could make for an interesting mod, but you would have to replace the acrylic...but that would be pretty cool...

Agh yes, I remember that case. I didnt really like the acrylic on the front. I guess like you said, it would be neat to replace. I dont think I have seen one over in GruntvillE that was eyecatching. I usually remember the best mods :)

Does the name Liquid_Cooled ring a bell?

Probably the most incredible mod for this case I've seen so far...it's almost too clean.

aye, falcon-nw used to use the atc110 for their Mach V builds. well built, and one o' the lightest and best cooling cases out there for a long time.

You can never go wrong with the Thundercats. RAWR!!!

Where did you get that logo on the window?

[Seven]

I assume she just printed it out from a google img or something.
Very very nice case though...I wish they would stop with this new stuff and bring back some of the old :)

I have always liked that case. Very slick. :D

[Seven]

Yeah, they were always sort of slick looking cases...plus they always had a sense of style about them...

I just think cases today have lost that touch.
