Packaging:
The packaging of the Cooler Master ATCS 840 is a bit boring. The only thing to really point out is the two unicorns tossed randomly onto the image on the front of the box. Aside from the hilarity of the random unicorns, the box contains the features on the side and back of the box. The rear of the box also has an image of the entire case taken apart. The case itself of course came wrapped in plastic and neatly fit into the box using two pieces of large Styrofoam.

The CoolerMaster ATCS is a fine case but it lacks two things to make it stand out from the crowd. For one thing there is no tranparent side window by default. This is an optional item you must buy if you want it. Most of the people buying this type of case would probably prefer a transparent window because they want to show off their rig. Secondly there is no side panel fan to assist with cooling. This should be an option.
So in other words, it lacks nothing. Side Fan does not improve or lower tempe. at all. And the windows thing, well not everyone wants to see there s…… components.
Honestly I prefer my cases with a window, but I also agree the side fan would not add anything. I actually find them more of a hassle due to having to find ways to plug them in.
