Cooler Master - AMMO 533   

    Getting together with a group of your best gaming buddies can sure be a lot of fun. But the process of actually hauling all of your gear around can be enough to make the whole thing more pain than pleasure. LCD monitors have helped to lighten the load to some degree, being small and much lighter than the big brother CRT.  So, what do we do with our PC now? We could build it in a smaller case, but that restricts the combinations of hardware you can install. Not everyone can afford building a second computer for the sole purpose of LAN parties. Yes, there are strap systems that have been devised which will wrap your enclosure in a mess of vinyl and hooks which gives you something of a handle or shoulder sling to carry the CPU with. Beyond the fact that they aren't the most convenient thing to put together, I've even had one of those strap contraptions come apart on me! The results of that were catastrophic enough that I won't trust another strap system -- ever. So, where does that leave me? Making three or more trips from the truck to the computer rooms as I pack and unpack for the party.

     To help out the gamers, especially those who like to LAN up, Cooler Master has added a new ATX mid-tower enclosure to their product line. The Ammo 533 has all the features you expect wrapped up with some pretty unique styling. A heavy-duty SECC construction chassis, 120mm ventilation fans, and plenty of space for drive and peripheral expansion.
