Featuring a fierce exterior design inspired by military weapons, the Cooler Master Storm Scout computer case really gives you a look you can appreciate, and your opponents can fear!
The Storm Scout can accommodate massive storage, with five 5.25" and six 3.5" drive bays (five hidden and one external). 3 fans provide excellent cooling, including one 120mm red LED rear fan, one 140mm top fan and one 140mm red LED front fan. The stealth control panel easily controls LED on/off for tuning your lights and fan speed. The storm guard’s security locking bracket in the chassis protects your external devices and neatens the cables, and you can quickly upgrade and maintain your computer case with the Scout's screw-less design. It’s a great case for the do-it-yourselfer who needs a lot of flexibility!
Easy USB, e-SATA and audio connectivity is provided on the top I/O panel. Reinforced carrying handles makes it easy for fast and efficient mobilization. While you want a case that both satisfied you with its appearance and performance, the Scout is the best choice for you!
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Simply beautiful. This case has just about everything I was looking for. Sinister good looks, totally functional design, relatively compact size and high airflow without the noise. This case delivers on all fronts. I have never attended a LAN party, nor do I plan to, but I love the functionality of the large single handle on this case. It has helped make the build process a breeze. CM pulled out all the stops when they built this case. Screwless drive bays all around, ample room for my large video card (I can still get cables past the end of my 10.5" GTX 260). TONS of connectivity. I was very concerned with noise and this case's three huge fans blow little more than a whisper. Another rarely mentioned feature is the through hole in the motherboard backplate that allows you to mount massive CPU heatsinks without taking the motherboard out of the case. You might not appreciate that feature if you are not mounting a monster HS/fan, but if you do, you will appreciate it.
Cons: I would like to have seen individual fan speed controllers like the 902, but that is not a big deal, since tha fans are quiet at full speed. You could reach near silence if you could turn them down, however. The dust filter on the front fan and the lower HD cage is drowning out the gorgeous LEDs. It would be nice if it were more visible. No big deal though, it gives it a menacingly subtle look.
Other Thoughts: I flip flopped back and forth with the Scout and the Antec 902 for quite a while. After all, everyone and his brother is gushing over the 902. In the end, the Scout won me over after i realized it has all that and abag of chips. The 902 has nothing over the scout except for sweet fan speed controllers and a bit of extra headroom over the mobo between the top case fan. The scout more than makes up for those issues and ends up being the best case option for me.

Pros: Cooler Master has done it again! I upgraded from a CM 690 which was also a great case! This case has it all! Plenty of room, good cable management, impressive styling and sturdy design . Front grill comes off fairly easy as compared to other cases. There is built in dust screens for the power supply and front intake 140mm Fan. Accommadates 120mm fans also! Large CPU access hole on the right side for CPU Fans with back plate. No need to install before MB! Nice feature!
Cons: Being a bit picky here! If you are going to setup RAID for your SSD there is only 1 1.8/2.5 SSD bracket included. Would have been nice to have 2! Also they only included 4 screws for expansion cards. I have yet to have a toolless/screwless expansion card bracket that held the cards in securely, especially the larger Video card like the nVidia GTX 285.
Other Thoughts: Paid $129.00 for mine! Price has already fallen to $109.99. My Build: Intel Core i7 940, 6GB Corsair Dominator-GT 1866 Memory EVGA GTX 285, Gigabyte GA X-58 UD4P Thermaltake Toughpower 850w PSU, CoolIt Systems Domino Liquid CPU Cooling

Pros: This case has lots of pluses for the price, much more than other cheaper cases. Some of the many cool features I like are: - Comes with a handle for easy moving - 4 (count em) USB in the front and 1 eSata! - Custom painted Black inside - Tool-less drive bays - High air flow design - Nice looking mid case with the tinted side window and the stealth black paint - Nice cable management and most of the cables already come hidden. - Bottom mount PSU - Lots of large fans - Choice to turn off LEDs - CM quality - Template to know where to mount MB
Cons: I'm an experienced builder and I had a hard time fitting all the cables in the back behind the MB tray. There is not much room for the MB power connector either if you have a large video card in the first PCIe slot but my GTX 295 fit fine after some adjustments. But get it done right and it looks fantastic. No included side fans Probably not as much airflow as the HAF922
Other Thoughts: It's a little heavy for a case this size though the handle helps with transporting it. 1 less egg because even though it's not NewEgg's fault it came damaged/dented and the product had to be RMAd and replaced. But I'm happy with the resulting case.

Not bad
Reviewed By: on 11/23/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Excellent case. Very sturday and mind blowing design
Cons: Issues are 1) the placing of power supply and some of the wiring is very tight. for the motherboard i have, the 12v power connector on mobo is on the other side. I had to pull the 12v connector tightly over my PCI-e graphics card. This has to be kept in mind. Now, I have to buy an extension cord.
2) The HD-audio cable, is a little small to push it in the pins. This cable now goes under the same PCI-E graphics card!!
3) The red led lighting is not that great. It doesnt give that appeal that I saw in the pictures placed

Pros: It's a good size case and provides plenty of room for most everything my GTS 250 fit with a lot of room to go and the power supply mount being on the bottom is nice, although some may not like it, in all not a bad case for the price.
Cons: I had too many problems with this case, the first case I got the clips for the expansion cards were all broken and I had to ship it back and get a replacement. Then when I get the new case as soon as I tried to use the new clips one of them broke and I decided just to use screws and then none of my expansion cards will clip into my motherboard due to the expansion bridge was too low while the mounts on the motherboard tray are too high and nothing will fit into an expansion slot and now it's too late to RMA the case so I have to buy a new case.
Other Thoughts: I wouldn't suggest this case although maybe I just had a string of bad luck, but i've been working on building computers for about 2-3 years now and this is new to me, so it is a nice case, love the color's and the red led's and all the fans cooler master puts into their cases, but just too many problems with the case for me to recommend, if your gonna buy it, buy with caution.
