Coolermaster Cases

[GT3_GOD]

Black Widow under you bed GT3??? Are you mad?

You havent even opened yours lol.

And yes, I dont like windowed cases, and its too shiney for my liking. so its got foam padding all round it, and I'll sell it in a year or two for £200

I love my BW.
Did consider a Shuttle as the machine goes LANing and had my eye on a Superflower but I'd always wanted a Coolermaster and have not been disappointed. Fully loaded it's not as light as I anticipated but hell it looks good with blue fans everywhere!
One big frustration though. Cleaning that damn front grill!
It rocks.

I can't decide which i like best. Cooler Master or Shuttle...... So i've got both hehehe. Shuttle Anniversary model and a Cooler Master 201B

I just bought a Shuttle SN41G2. It's a fantastic machine, kinda dwarfed by my CM 410.

Isn't there a black widow replacement due?

Im sure i've seen one somewhere........

[Gordy]

Yes there is

[Lord Kordir]

I really wish they'd made a black 410. Can you imagine that with red lighting behind the grill......

As far as I can tell from various bits and pieces of information, the story is that Coolermaster are closing down the Taiwan based ATCS case division and moving production to mainland China, where labour and other costs are much cheaper. I guess they are also concentrating more on the mainstream OEM market where the real money is. That would explain why they cut the range right down.

Also, some of the former ATCS employees have left and set up a new company called SilverStone, who seem to be building up a new range of Aluminum and Steel/Aluminum cases. So they're probably the people to watch for new Coolermaster style cases.

After a google search I found this, although they don't seem to be as nice as the coolermasters.

I'm another one who got talked into buying a coolermaster by XTR, he showed me a few pics of his desk a couple of years ago now, and within about 5 minutes, I'd ordered myself a gorgeous CM201B was a wonderful case, the best tower case I've ever had in fact, I also bought a LianLi PC68 with a window but that was like a distant inbred cousin of the coolermaster

I now have a couple of Shuttle SN41G2s (trying to sell one atm to get a P4 one) and the only reason I sold the CM was that I really didnt need a PC case that size.
