Yeah, I was never a fan of these double wide cube cases.
I always thought of them as a simple solution to adding space for watercooling, when the designers could have put in some thought for a clever solution.
Silverstone TJ07, the case that Corsair 900D improves upon, was a pretty clever solution, I think.
Atlas looks like a bigger beefier Corsair Air 540... And it still doesn't make better use of the right chamber. I like the concept for the purpose of direct airflow more than anything (easier to work with than Silverstone's rotated designs), but the right chamber should either house a dozen drive bays or be at least half the size.

am I seeing that right? a removable mobo tray AND a removable 'ugly parts' rack?That Atlas is definitely one of the better looking cubes I've seen.

Looks good but like the Corsair I owned case it wastes a lot of space. Floor space in particular. But I think this is inherent to the design.meacupla - Thursday, June 11, 2015 - link

Is it just me, or is that an IDE drive next to the hard drive sled that won't actually fit due to the sled obstructing the ports on the drive?creed3020 - Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - link
Definitely IDE drives lol.I guess their show floor example is not actually functional.

That's just plain weird... They didn't have a SATA drive on hand? Where did they even dig out an IDE drive?!nathanddrews - Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - link
Haven't they heard the news? LEDs are out - EL tape is in!Impulses - Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - link
Guess I'm really behind the curve, there's still a pair of cold cathodes in my case... :PImpulses - Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - link
