What's wrong with you people and case design? Its ugly as hell, it reminds me of those rugged toughbooks... And what's with the handle? As if you're going to carry it around with you.
The NZXT Phantom case has a brilliant design and so many perks. Although the Phantom 410 would appear to be crap since they took a fantastic design for a big case and sized it down for a mid size case...bad idea.
Different class of chassis. The Storm Trooper is more an upgrade for the factory-mod style of cases (HAF, Sniper). The upcoming Cosmos II would likely be your chassis' natural successor:Now that, that is a nice case! I wonder if this is a worthy successor to my current case? Cooler Master Cosmos S?
Great. I got the HAF X last year and thought I'd never have to buy another case again. Now I'm reconsidering it after seeing this bad boy.
Certainly is. MaximumPC's "Dream Machine" from earlier this year. The Cosmos II seems to "borrow" the Silverstone TJ-07's layout except that you don't have the ability to mount dual PSU's (or one on it's side).@dbz - Man that's a sweet looking rig.
Guest said:I have to doubt your processor temperature reading on the stress test. It seems incredibly unlikely that it would vary from the previous model by 20~ degrees celsius just by turning the fans up.
I almost think that the fan speed on high should be removed from the results graph. If you installed a fan controller in any of the other cases, and cranked the speed up to unbearable volumes they would almost all certainly perform identically. At a glance it looks like the review is very biased towards the new enclosure, even though this may not be the case (no pun intended).
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
If you bothered to read the review you would know that the CPU was passively cooled so air-flow makes a significant difference here. Also who said anything about to unbearable volumes? So the review "looks" very biased because we umm liked the case?

You would get most of the functionality from the ST at a lower price point, but the Cosmos and ATCS 840 are more about aesthetics.

Cases always have pros and cons. but one has eluded case developers since the dawn of the computer - air filters! you make lots of holes for cooling which allows LOTS of dirt, dust, dog hair, etc... make a case that has a washable air filter!!!! all the cooling in the world wont help if the fans are clogged and wont rotate!!
