Cooler Master CM Stacker 830 Evolution Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by jmke @ 2007-01-29

What has four wheels, high performance and comes with an insanely high attention to detail? The CM Stacker 830 Evolution is Coolermaster´s latest high end enclosure which can fit up to nine 120mm fans, has 9 5.25 inch drive bays and full ATX/BTX compatibility. The equivalent of a high priced exclusive sports car? Let´s find out.

Installation - Motherboard Options

Installation – Motherboard fitting options

The removable motherboard tray comes with same color stand offs, the PCI slot covers are secured by a series of thumbscrews.

Installation of the motherboard and add-in cards is easy as you have all the room in the world to work in.

Now you only need to slide the tray into the case and you’re as good as done:

Since the CM Stacker features rails at each side, you can slide in the tray upside down and install your ATX system as if it were a BTX setup; with the CPU near the bottom of the case:

looks like they fixed some of the previous gripes i had with it.

still, it's a lil' steep in price & i wouldn't really like dragging it to LANs (regardles of the wheels).

Excellent review J.

Only one Q. : doesn't it deserve the High End recommendation ?

Comment from jmke @ 2007/01/29

got another high end case for test this week, and few others which need to be checked before tagging anything
