Is it a Cooler Master or a Chenming? This section of the review may be short lived and for good reason. What can an author possibly say about a case chassis design that has already been reviewed a million times? As you can see Cooler Master along with many other manufacturers has adopted the Chenming chassis design. Why this chassis? Probably because it is one of the top selling steel chassis and has the sales record to prove it. Cooler Master basically realized this was an excellent product and it just needed a facial to bring the design back to life. This is another example of history repeating itself. This particular design has two major drawbacks. A) The case is relatively short in depth, making it at times hard to work on with the case packed with hardware. A removable motherboard tray would help remedy the problem. B) The internal hard drive cage only supports three devices. I would like to see the manufacturer extend the length of the drive cage to the floor of the case. Not only would this allow more devices, but also more importantly drive spacing to increase airflow.

On the other hand, this case offers several unique features. The 3.5" drive cages uses a lever type locking system, which is ideal! Simply flip the lever and slide the cage out of the rail. The case continues it's NO screw policy (unless absolutely necessary) with all four-fan carriages. Each fan can be installed and removed without ever grabbing a screwdriver. They have also provided spare rail bracket holders on the floor of the case. I suggest you keep them there so you will have them when you need them. There is nothing worse then ran sacking the house for parts like I have done numerous times.

Conclusion

Mission accomplished???

The ATC-710 series offers the innovative style of aluminum with a cost effect steel chassis. In the past, many people have shied away from Cooler Master's product line because their pocket book wasn't deep enough. This Hybrid aluminum/Steel case can be purchase for as little as $140 (shipping included). I believe Cooler Master has tapped a totally new market. The ATC-710 offers excellent performance with Chenming's classic chassis. You will be hard pressed to find a more attractive case based on a steel chassis.
