De mannen van de GamePC hebben een flinke roundup online gezet over aluminium midi-towers. De acht kasten die worden getest en besproken zijn de volgende:
- Chilli Professional
- Coolermaster ATC-101
- Coolermaster ATC-201-SX
- Enermax CS-988AL-05 Red
- Enermax CS-688AL-01 Blue
- Lian Li PC-60
- Lian Li PC-
- 61 Skyhawk Eagle
De kasten worden eerst individueel besproken waarna de reviewer winnaars kiest in verschillende categorieën, te weten features, installation, style, cooling en price. De winnaars zijn respectievelijk de Enermax CS-988AL-05 Red, de Coolermaster ATC-101-SX4, de Enermax CS-988AL-05 Red / Chilli Professional, de Coolermaster ATC-201-SX en de Lian Li PC-6x. De beste aluminum kast in de roundup is volgens de reviewer de ATC-101-SX4 van Coolermaster, maar dat is wel onder één voorwaarde:
So, if money were no option, what would be the case I would take home with me? Tough question!
While the Enermax cases bring some funky colors in to the mix, and the Coolermaster ATC-201 brings in tons of hard drive space and cooling power, Coolermaster's own ATC-101-SX4 brings all their features together nicely in harmony. The ATC-101-SX4 just seems much more rounded and nicely designed than any competing aluminum case on the market. If I were taking home one of these boxes today, it would be this one.
[...] In this reviewer's humble opinion, Coolermaster is still the master (pardon the pun) of the aluminum case. They've been in this business the longest, and they still make the best units. Unless they come up with some interesting new features quickly though, companies like Enermax and Lian Li are gunning for that position.
