I recently reviewed Cooler Master's ATCS 840 case for an upcoming issue of CPU Magazine, and I liked it so much I decided to build my own rig out of it. Cooler Master is releasing the ATCS 840 on November 25th to commemorate the launch of the original ATCS (Active Thermal Convection System) cases, which were first released in 1999.

Opening the box revealed the UPS itself, some user documentation, mounting hardware, a screwdriver, and of course, a power cord. Everything was well packaged and relatively easy to unpack despite the weight. As with most UPSs, the Eaton 5PX requires some assembly work. The device can be rack mounted, which requires the installation of some mounting brackets on ...
