even has a handle on it, which should be
a feature of every case. Both side doors
and the motherboard tray unlock with the
push of a lever.
What’s really shocking is the list of
motherboard formfactors that the Stacker
supports: ATX, E-ATX, Micro-ATX, BTX,
Pico-BTX, and Micro-BTX. Yep, that’s all
of them—even BTX, should that formfactor
ever see the light of day.
Aside from the aforementioned drive-
adapter shortage, there’s really nothing
missing from the Stacker, aside from the
“dream case” features we imagined inour Holiday 2005 case roundup—interior
lighting, a tool tray, cable runs, and other
pie-in-the-sky features we’d love to see. If
Cooler Master saw fit to add these extras
to the next iteration of the Stacker, we just
might want to marry it.
