Just looking at the specs outlined here, we can see that this case, while weighing in at a fair amount on it's own, can further be fattened to 55Lbs, before the risk of bending the top (or even worse, popping out the rivets) comes into play. Unfortunately, considering that this case is meant to be carried with one hand, it's not exactly fun to tote around when it's loaded up. For those worried about heavy PSUs, or the top bending, we'll show you just how Coolermaster plans to keep your gear safe on those long treks, which will be done in the "Interior" section.
Now, with specifications aside, we can begin to look at the features advertised by Coolermaster which will make this case stand out from all the rest.
- Unique design for tough enclosure
- Tool-Free mechanical design for quick assembly and maintenance
- Superior air flow with heat dissipation holes on top and side
- Firm and solid casing design forcefully contains your elaborate system
- Intelligent handle design for easy carrying
Okay, so we can admit that it's not all too much that the site shows off, but there's no way in the world to describe how much more easily a system goes together (and, unfortunately) comes apart when there are no tools in play. While there may be no option to bolt down the hard drives however, the optical drives can be held in place with more than mere friction, if you should so wish. As to the remainder of the features, you shall see them pictured in the sections to come. Perhaps the only thing missed in this section though, was the inclusion of a filter on the front panel below the mesh - again, to be shown to you later on.
