I have one and really like it. You can get like 8 hard drives in this sucker. I modded mine by making the feet taller and putting 2 80mm fans on the floor to suck in more air. The only problem is it is not big enough for the H20 system I want to install! I may have to get the Lian-Li PC-70. I think CoolerMaster cases are better built than the Lian-Li's but also a little more $. The construction is second to none.

since youre planning to get a coolermasters also take a look at the enermax 5189 and 5190 series. they r as much expensive as the coolermasters but a bit better.

Coolermaster


The Coolermaster is a VERY Solid Piece. I just picked one up locally. There is a new rev of the 201 labeled the 201c. Try to get this one. They have replaced the clip stand-offs on the MB tray with threaded hex barrels, changed to 2MM aluminum all around, added reinforcements attaching the MB tray to the backpanel, and have clear coated the finish. There are a number of other changes as well. One other thing I can think of off the top of my head is that they now made it possible to insert the PWS through the rear and pre cut the 80MM fan opening in the rear and replaced it with a low drag wire cover. No Dremel needed!

FYI, as soon as I replace the power LED with a crystal blue one and figure out how I want to do cable routing, the Coolermaster will replace my Lian-Li PC-60. There is no comparison now. The Lian Li looks cheap next to it. I am not trying to troll, but this thing is in a class by itself once again.

It is SO beautiful in build and finish I almost don't want to use it, but just admire it!! almost...

Coolermaster


Notice the differences between the picture posted up a couple of posts and these. Especially in the area of the PWS. They really opened it up to make it Enermax Whisper friendly. Also notice how the top of the case attaches differently now. It looks like they just made every thing "beefier" and more solid.

And the rear 3/4...Notice the Fan Grill and the size of the corner post closest in the pic. It's 3/4" by 3/4" of machined billet!!
