Microcool is an Italian based company that was founded in 2003 to make effective cooling solutions for demanding computer systems. With this strong emphasis on heat control, the company has released several well-designed lines of cooling products such as chipset coolers, core protective rubber frames and thermally conductive tapes. One major success for the company has been NorthPole line of chipset coolers, which utilizes a modular design, is extremely quiet and reduces heat very efficiently, making it perfect for many PC users. Even though Microcool is a company built on cooling, the release of the Banchetto 101 shows us that they are far from limited to any one segment of the market. This product is the end result of over two years of developmentto create a light-weight, open and transparent case that is perfect of modifiers and PC Professionals. This open design makes it ideal for users that are constantly changing out their component and don't want to be restricted by the more closed design of a typical chassis. In addition to these features the Banchetto 101 also offers some aspects that might not be entirely new, but when combined with Banchetto's design make them quite unique. These include the ability to choose from multiple water-cooling setups that fit directly to the case and a removable motherboard tray that will make installation much easier. One thing I can't get by without mentioning above all the features listed is the look of the case. With the clear design highlighting the installed hardware and chrome accents it is extremely appealing to the eyes and is the reason behind the name Banchetto, which is the Italian word for feast.
