ATC-201 cases - what are all the other versions?

[LaughingJon]

I am looking to get a ATC-201 style case, however, i am getting confused with all the different models i am seeing, which as far as i can tell look like the same case. ie.. These are examples of model numbers i have seen.

ATC-201B-SX2 - seen on sharkey
ATC-201C-SX2
ATC-201B-SXK
ATC-201-SX2

Do they vary at all or are they all the same case?

The reason for asking is that i want to get the case which has been mentioned in this months extreme gaming PC review on this site... it is the Coolermaster ATC-201B-SX2 but i cant find that exact model here in the UK for sale anywhere, i can only find the others stated, so are these others the same or are they different?

If anyone can clarify this for me i would be very grateful.

Cheers
Jon

"B" when the model is the same usually means black, though it could refer to some different option perhaps, e.g.: 201 is regular, 201B has a window, etc. don't know what the C might mean (newegg images are not loading for some reason, too lazy to look elsewhere at the moment ). i think the ATC-201 cases are awesomely nice, though -- congrats. post your impressions/results when you get it.

edit:
extracted this info from the coolermaster website (all kinds of options! not sure if it clarifies or further obfuscates, though: "car coating?" what is that? and what's the dff. btwn ATC-201A-SX1 and ATC-201C-SX1?) it seems that you got a silver front panel and anodized side panel, which somehow sounds better to me than car coating (but what do i know ):

ATC-201A-SX1: Silver Aluminum front panel with Car Coating side panel.
ATC-201B-SX1: Silver Aluminum front panel with Car coating window side panel.
ATC-201B-BXT: Black Aluminum front panel with Mirror Black window side panel.
ATC-201B-SXT: Silver Aluminum front panel with Mirror Black window side panel.
ATC-201B-SXK: Silver Aluminum front panel with Anodizing window side panel.
ATC-201C-SX1: Silver Aluminum front panel with Car Coating side panel.
ATC-201C-SXK: Silver aluminum front panel with Anodizing side panel.
ATC-201C-BXJ: Black Aluminum front panel with Black Texture coating side panel.
ATC-201C-BXT: Black Aluminum front panel with Mirror black car painting side panel.

I once considered the ATC201 series and drooled for many years over possibly getting one some day. But I found the Kingwin KT436 series (modded Lian-Li PC-65s) was a better alternative once I could finally afford an alum. case, lol! See them at www.newegg.com Then pop in an Antec PSU and you're set. See link in my sig. Regards.

cool, looks like my google skillz or general observance isn't that great LOL I blame it on the lager

Yeah the one i should be receiving soon is indeed the silver with side window, didn't know about the front being different to the sides but hey i will let yas know what its like when i get it.. I already have a vantec 480 true blue PSU to put in it and along with the case i will be getting my new P4 3.0C+ SLK-900 + Abit IC7-G + 1gig Corsair PC3500 along with some other bits n bobs.. Well looking forward to putting this beast together It has been too long since last upgrade

Cheers for the info tho peeps..
