Cooler Master CM StackerProvided By: Cooler Master For the past couple of years, compatibility between motherboards and computer cases rarely have a problem thanks to the industry standard ATX. All that is about to change thanks to Intel and their new BTX standard. Just because Intel is yearning for this major standards change, it does not necessary mean it is going to happen. Though a handful of motherboard manufactures are already revealing their future line of BTX boards at computer expos, another handful of manufactures are not as impressed or eager to make the switch. In addition, AMD is not very impressed with BTX and may not switch at all.
To help users ease through this transition period of uncertainty, Cooler Master has releases a new computer case, CM Stacker, that is compatible with both ATX and BTX. This full tower is about more than compatibility. With the ability to handle up to eleven 5.25" drives, eight case fans, and two power supplies, CM Stacker is all about expandability and performance. In addition, the CM Stacker can be equipped with Cooler Master's new Cross Flow Fan that provides fresh air to the entire motherboard and all its various components. This review will take an in depth look at the multi talented CM Stacker and its optional add on, the Cross Flow Fan. Packaging:
Cooler Master's CM Stacker comes packaged in a huge, fully colored retail box with a purple background and gray top and bottom borders. The front of the CM Stacker box has a picture of the case along with its name, a list of its unique features and an icon list of its main features. The right side of the box features an introduction to the CM Stacker computer case and its available colors. The left side of the box has the specifications list.
