I was waiting forever to find a good deal on the ATC-111C-SX1 and finally did thx to Newegg! I'm excited, here are a couple pics:

My idle/load temps dropped about 5°C after I switched from my old steel case. The 4 stock fans make just about as much noise as the 2 that were in my old case. And I LOVE the blue hdd and activity LEDs. w00t

Wires could use a bit of a clean up.

Try to route most of the wires on the opposite side of the tray (right side of case). If you do it this way you can get a much cleaner look.

Nice Job on the wiring scanido. Also nice case. I like the CoolerMaster but at this time I'll have to stick with my Chieftec and spidy case from xoxide.

The case speaker is gone now, just another wire to get in the way.

That looks MUCH better!

Did you notice any difference with your temps?

Now that is a nice setup


I plan on getting one of those for my next case because they are IMO winner of the coolness factor
