Exterior

The ATC-710-GX2 is an economical clone of the ATC-110 with a few alterations. The obvious item being the steel chassis construction. This case features a very smooth flowing front bezel. The bay cover door is lockable. The intake grill is entirely made from a wire mesh allowing the two 80 mm fans (not supplied) to provide maximum amount of airflow with a minimal loss of efficiency.

Taking a look inside the door reveals four 5.25" bays and two 3.25" bays. This is ample drive space, which will accommodate most computer enthusiast appetites. The 5.25" bay covers and the trim surrounding the covers are hinged and simply swing out of the way allowing the user to simply add and remove component with the supplied drive rails. This is a very unique feature. This makes for a virtually effortless installation. As you can see the power switch is located here as well. Rest assured no one will be using your computer without having access to a key if you choose to keep the door locked. The small cut out centered between the 5.25 and 3.25 bays is for the locking mechanism. During the duration of the review this mechanism worked flawlessly. You may be asking yourself, "Where is the reset switch?" Look no further, you won't find one! Many end users including myself will miss this feature.

Moving on to the access side panel you will find a very familiar looking handle which is featured on Chenming and Antec enclosures You will need to remove two screws from the rear of the case and unlock the side panel handle to gain entry. Note the same keyd both the side panel and the bezel door. The other side panel does not have a handle; you simply remove it by uninstalling two Phillips-head screws.

The backside of the case is identical to Chenming's and Antec's popular case line. It features two 80 mm exhausts holes (fans not included). The I/O device panel is color-coded and it features seven expansion slots you would expect to find. There is nothing to over whelming about the backside with the exception of the fan grills.

Most computer enthusiast including my self recommends the removal of stamped fan grills to increase the efficiency of the fan. The ATC-710-GX2 is an exemption to the rule at hand. The fan grills on this case bubble outward allowing for this case to be the least airflow restrictive on the market. No modifications should be required to the air intake or the rear fan grills.
