COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Nice styling.
Good layout/design.
Exceptional storage.
Great connectivity.
Sturdy and solid.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: The large plastic port is a nice touch (especially when you turn on the LED lights on the fans), but what I really like about this case is that it's got plenty of room for lots of drives and accessories and it's got top-front USB, SATA, earphone and mic inputs.

CM guys did a good job of ergonomic design on this case.

Pros: This case seems to be just the right size. Excellent cooling with 3 large fans, which are extremely quiet as well. Sturdy with an added bonus of the stout handles on top. Nice cable management setup as well. The HDD brackets that come with this case for installing a SSD are PERFECT!

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I do wish it came with a couple of extra HDD brackets that come with this case for installing a SSD, or at the very least assign a p/n to them so a person could perform a successful search for them.You simply screw them onto the ssd and connect the sliding rails.

Pros: Great case , its not to difficult to figure out how everything goes together. Runs great on a 550 watt power supply, could even use maybe a 450 watt without problems.
the air flow at my surprise is really good, i can feel it with my hands.
the led lights on/off is a great bottom
the power button is very nice.
its nice to have 4 usb ports right on the front with speaker and mic ports :)

Cons: bad instruction manual.
the reset button could just be a little bigger.

Not really a con, but the red leds are not as bright as i expected but because of the filters, but that could be a good thing for others that don't want to be blinded by lights at night.

Other Thoughts: I paid $79.99-10$= $69.99 for this awesomeness, if have not bought this yet, and a friend had it, and i knew how well it was, i would totally pay up to 150$ for this! easy.

FOR THOSE of you having issues with the "-"rear fan"-" only lighting up but not spinning, there is a hidden molex power connector on the other side of the case (the one with the cpu heatsink cut out) take off that side panel and you will find the issue. Took me 2 hours to discover this.

Pros: Come with a 140MM, 140MM {Red LED}, 120MM {Led Led}
This case is really beautiful. Come with a build in fan controller, And a led switch so you can turn off your fans at night, If you are downloading something.
Great for people, Who download and uploading things.
Great cable management also, If you are a gaming looking for a mid-tower.
Quick looking!
You have find all of you been looking for here.

GREAT BUY IT! SOO BEAUTIFUL!!

Cons: On the top you can only have one 140MM Fan {Maxed size}
I think should of put 2 mounting holes, They will have been great.
4 USB 2.0, I think adding some USB 3.0 will be Great.
If Cooler master does this idea, I have no problem paying one hundred dollars. Will make the case soo good, And more people will want it.

Other Thoughts: I used to buy my computer parts, with a money order.
Recently newegg has removed that feature, Got me mad. Since i dont like using my Credit Cards.
I got no problem paying in check, Money order, Or cash.
Newegg has removed all of those payment, So they can make more in interest.

Pros: Everything fit, Cable management big + Coated inside.

Cons: Havent found any, case has met and exceeded my needs.

Pros: The CM Storm scout is amazing. No other way to describe it. From the exterior packaging, to the exterior case design, the the functional interior CM has really kept the mobile gamer in mind.

The mid-tower is well equipped with three case fans which glow red, giving you a nice aesthetic, when coupled with the smoked side-window. The curvature of the external case gives it an aggressive feel. The "carry handles" are perfect for mobile gamers.

Inside, there seems to be plenty of room for you to add and expand components. There is fairly ample space for cable management (more in cons). The internal cooling factor seems to work very well when the computer is under load.

In addition the front-facing audio, USB ports, and eSATA port really makes things convenient when you need to hook something up fast.

Cons: There are only two cons that I can think of with this particular case.

The room for cable management is fairly ample, but not ideal. Then again, this is a MID tower so I wouldn't expect a whole lot of extra room. There are included zip ties to help you manage the cable but if you couple this case with a non-modular PS (which I did... stupid right?) you may be short on room. If you care about cable management, give yourself some extra time to get everything all neat and tidy. Ugly cable management and side windows do not mix very well.

The rear 140mm fan started to make increasingly annoying clicking noises after about 6 months of operation. My thoughts are that it's a bad bearing so I'll be replacing it in the next few days.

That being said, these cons are a minor hiccup in an otherwise fruitful gaming relationship!

Other Thoughts: If you're in the market for an affordable, ample-featured, and semi-mobile case... look no further. If I had to build another rig I would buy this all over again.

Pros: 1. The screwless design makes hardware installation a pleasure.
2. The fans are silent.
3. Nice ventilation for standard air cooling.

Cons: The PSU on the bottom helps to cool the system, but it can be a stretch to get the mobo cables stretched to the top for installation.

Other Thoughts: Despite the flaw this is a rock solid case that I plan to use for years.

Pros: Everything about this case is great, plenty of room to install hardware unlike some cases. Its an excellent case for the money and super quiet, even with my added fans.

Cons: Its a little heavy, but that's to be expected with a steel case and all the hardware installed.

Pros: Excellent case! Been drooling over this case since it first appeared in NE. Everything about it is a pro but the built-in carrying handle & the upper front button/headder placement made this case a must have!

Cons: None. See thoughts below.

Other Thoughts: When i was building this box I found 1 of the mounting lugs that snaps the front drive bezel to the case was broke off from the bezel (couldn't see it until the bezel was removed to install optical drive & remove the drive cover plate from bezel). Otherwise--excellent! Didn't see the need to knock off an egg for that. I'll check on the option of getting a replacement from CM.

Pros: Solid built, looks good. Air flow is top notch. Cut outs make wire management easy.

Cons: They were correct about the limited space foe video card. HD6970 just fits anything longer would be a no go.

Other Thoughts: Case came damaged. Bottom back rear (where the psu goes) came dented inward so bad that it pulled the sides of the case in about an inch. Funny thing the box nor the stirefoam had no damage at all. So one would believe it was packaged that way. I would expect this from an unknown company an a 30.00 case, but not from Cooler Master.
