The first feature that struck us about this case was the incredibly elegant, high tech look of the A100SC. Athenatec obviously cares about the quality of this case, as it was wrapped with a film to protect the paint on the case as well as the case itself. As with all micro ATX cases, the A100SC is cramped; but when compared to similar cases, it is apparent that Athenatec is trying to make the user's experience as pleasurable and trouble-free as possible. To assist with the installation, Athenatec has come up with a unique latching system that allows the user to remove the drive bays (for example) to ease installation headaches. While it is not a dream to work on, as with all micro ATX cases, the A100SC is easier than most cases of this genre.
