Cooler Master CM Stacker 830
Posted 01/02/2008 at 11:55:21pm
Realizing the age of this artical I am some what hessatant to comment. But some of the details seem diffrent then what I have seen on the Cooler Master 830. I recently purchased this awesome case though mine is the SE(this may be the reason for the diffrences)and ther is infact more Hard Drive space and larger fan compacity than you listed. The 4-in-3 Device Module holds 4 Hard Drives. You can install up to 3 of these to give you up to 12 Hard Drives(though you only get one with your purchas)if you have no desire for any internal optical drives or other front pannel devices. And where you say there is a spot for a fan on the top, you get with the case a mounting bracket that lights up(blue)to mount an other Hard Drive there. As for the fans you can install the Cross flow or up to 4 60mm to 140mm in the swing out door. So to summerize it all, you can install up to 13 Hard Drives,if your Mother Board supports such insanities, and you can install upto 4 140mm fans in the swig out door. The only thing that I can say against the case is that when you get the case not all the "wires" are ready for hook up. That is the USB, Fire wire and the front pannel Audio conectors are not conected. And they are a bit of a bugger to hook up. You have to be smarter then the case. I for that matter was not at first. The pannel that the ports are in has to be removed by unscrewing one screw, that is located inside on the under side of the pannel aprox 3" from the front of the case. It probibly would have been made easer if that piece of info was infact in the owners guide. Thanks for all the good info. Hope that this is useful to someone. Adam Childerhose
