The Cooler Master Black Widow is the same design as the Cooler Master ATC-201B, apart from a variation in colour. A few weeks ago i reviewed the ATC-201B-SXT (black sides) which is very similar to the Black Widow. After looking over the case there are a few differences which become clear. The main difference is the Black Widow has an anodised black front with black drive bays.
After Cooler Master released the ATC-201B-SXT there was
people who commented on why they didn't make a full black case, instead of
having a two tone, silver/black. So it seems Cooler Master took this idea
and developed the Black Widow.
The Black Widow has a shiny black
metallic paint on the top and side panels. The quality of the paint is
amazing giving a mirror type finish. The paint is the same type as
Mercedes use. A total of 5 layers of paint. 1 base colour, 2 pearl, 2
clear coats.
There is also a window panel installed to enable you to
see your components inside. Window panels are great with the use of LED
fans and/or Cold Cathode/Neon lighting.
Since the Black Widow is designed around the ATC-201B it has the usual features. ATCS (Active Thermal Cooling System), USB flap on the front, and good airflow cooling.
