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

Tech Level: somewhat low - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: -The great deal I got on it (Thanksgiving Weekend) -Heavy duty design. No cheap materials (with one exception - see cons). -The nice "H" handle lets you carry with one or two hands. This handle is needed because this thing is heavy. -4 USB ports and case controls are at the top of the case on angle. Makes it nice if you store it low. -The LEDs are not only cool, they also have an on/off toggle switch on the case. -The no-screw mounts for hard drives and optical drives are very easy and stable. (still use screw for GPU though) -Window in the one side is nice for looking at motherboard LED info (temp, ect)
Cons: The one and only con is the fan wiring. The rear fan cord is cut short with the connector stuck halfway down the back side of the case. I could not get all three fans to run without hooking an extension/adapter cord to the PSU. On top of that, the molex connectors at the ends of the fan cords are cheap as hell and the prongs fall out of them. Why they would make such a nice, heavy duty case and then scrimp on the fan cords is beyond me, but - 1 egg for that.

Pros: Excellent overall design, feels very sturdy. The handle to the top of the case makes moving around easy. The tool-less bays & PCI locking clips make for easy installs. Perfect fit for all my hardware.
Cons: I too received a non working rear fan, leds work however. May replace it but I love the red lighting, so may go with a small side panel fan instead.
Other Thoughts: Disappointing about the fan, but this case was definitely a good buy for my first system build, I'm very pleased with it.

BEAUTIFUL BLACK BEAST

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: ALL BLACK & BEAUTIFUL! THIS CASE ROCKS. LOVE THE TOOLESS DESIGN BUT STILL RECOMMEND USING SCREWS TO SUPPORT VIDEO CARDS AND DVD/CD DRIVES. LIKE THE FACT THAT THE POWER BUTTON, USB & SOUND JACKS ARE ON TOP. LOTS OF COOLING. 2- 140MM FANS & 1- 120MM FAN ARE DEAD QUIET AND EFFECTIVE.
Cons: EXPANSION SLOT CLIPS BREAK VERY EASY. FIT MY 2 - 4770 VIDEO CARDS IN NO PROBLEM BUT BIGGER CARDS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. IF USING A 120MM CPU FAN DON'T USE MEMORY STICKS WITH TALL HEAT SINKS.
Other Thoughts: INSTALLED 2 MORE 120 MM RED LED 3 SPEED FANS ON SIDE WINDOW. 5 FANS AND 4 ARE LED. THIS CASE'S FANS ARE SO QUIET. EASY HD AND DVD DRIVE INSTALLATION. LOVE THE FAN FILTERS. TINTED WINDOW NICE. VENTED AT BOTTTOM FOR BOTTOM PSU. LOVE THE CABLE MANAGEMENT- A BIG PLUS WHEN USING A NON MODULAR PSU. NICER THAN MY ANTEC TWELVE HUNDRED. CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS PURCHASE. JUST BUY IT!!
