Here are my specs to get a frame of reference of components and temps. My only issue with this case is that the interior is not painted black like the outside.
It is extremely roomy enough to fit larger graphics cards (HD Radeon 5870s, GTX 295s, and I would think 5970s as well) with ease. Water cooling would definitely have no issue fitting inside this case with it providing a mount for 3 120mm fans on the top instead of the ones pre-installed.
This case is by far one of the biggest full size ATX cases out there. Screw less drive bays work perfectly, I have had multiple Cooler Master cases with this addition and they have improved from all the way back when they used them in the original Cosmos case.
A lot of great airflow in the case even with the stock fans, but I would recommend adding all the additional fans for better cooling especially if you have high end graphics cards that get extremely hot under full load. From the outside this case is very stylish if you like the full ATX size.
Not many cases are like that and you can always do it yourself so it doesn't full take away from the over rating but would have been a nice option.

Too many features to list , High quality , beautiful finish , enough room for water cooling, and lots of drives & accessories. Probably the last case I will ever buy.
This case is completely versatile. Great Deal. The shipping speed was amazing from Ritz camera by the way.
The case is made from aluminum so even though it is huge, it is very light. Incredible. its makes putting together a computer a true pleasure.
I ordered the case in the morning and even though I chose standard shipping ( 4 to 7 days), my case arrived the next day. Every point of this case can be taken apart and arranged how you want. That is one of my favorite parts.
Thank you Amazon.com and thank you Ritz camera. Free shipping.
This is because those cases actively blow air over your hottest components. I think they're fine, though they do not close all the way (about a 2mm gap between the case and the edge of the side panel). I was really glad when I can find something that wasn't a gaudy 12 year old gamer type of case. There is always a low whisper of air being moved, but I've always found that to be a good thing.
Some people thing that the side panels are flimsy. Absolutely beautiful case. the ATCS cases have always been about keeping ambient temperatures within the case low so that active cooling by just the components themselves will be sufficient.I bought 4 extra fans to fill the slots in the case (including the one that is attached in the back) and the case is still very quiet. I'm using a cooler master v8 cooler on this computer and it fits inside it with PLENTY of room to spare, about a 2-2.5 inch clearance from the side panel. Please be advised, as other have said this case is BIG, as expected from a full tower.
That doesn't mean the noise is non existent however. Large video cards fit in without a problem since the length of the case is generous.I highly recommend this case for anyone who's grown up and ready to toss out the angry-with-your-dad teenager gaming case and move on to something with a little more class and sophistication. Cooler master really have outdone themselves by bringing back the classic ATCS aluminum structure. means the case is working.As far as components and modularity, everything installs and comes out easily enough. The cooling is good.
Ambient temperatures within the case are kept low, however, users may find that it is not as cool as the HAF cases by the same manufacturers. The motherboard tray is a bleeding godsend. The investment is worth it as this case will easily last 10 years.
OMG. I haven't seen a case as pretty as this one and not only pretty but feels good quality no cheap plastic and also A LOT of room this case is VERY silence and soon turning into liquid cooling and I think I will still have room. Before my motherboard looked huge and cramp up on my old case now it looks like a micro ATX but over all great shipping FAST and everything works perfectly. I will recommended.
