These are some images that did not make their way into the review. Some are redundant, some are silly. Any or none may shed further light on the ATC-600.

Precis & Overview
Cooler Master shows us that they are on top of the game when their engineering division is able to take risks and release the ATC-600 series of computer cases.
The risks taken run the gamut: a desktop design in a world that prefers towers; an internal configuration that does not take the industry standard ATX form-factor, but opts instead for the OEM slice of the pie, the Micro-ATX form-factor; design that bucks the trends of the very demographic it appeals to, the desktop-power user (more on this in the article); and they risk alienating their customer base by providing a case that is so unique, it may not fill a proper niche.
This is not to say that Cooler Master has shot themselves in the foot, but rather that they are secure in their position at the apex of case-design and that risks, such as those enumerated above, are not enough to shelve a unique design. It is refreshing to see a company can push their product line out of the comfort zone, into a creative area.
Given the successes of every model they have released to this point, and adding momentum to a trend largely started by the PC-modder scene, it is high-time that a unique case make its debut. The Cooler Master ATC-600 series is a site for sore (jaded) eyes.
