Pros: I bought this case in October of 2009. It's built like a tank, has ample cooling, and the handles on top are a plus. I have multiple desktop PC's in my home and I blow them out on a regular basis. The Storm Scout is by far the easiest to carry. Contrary to the troubles some others have had with this case, mine has worked perfectly from day one. All switches, fans, et cetera, work as expected.

Cons: Weight. This case is heavy, but that is to be expected with any steel case so please don't consider this to be a complaint.

Overall Review: Although the included fans provide ample cooling, they are a wee bit loud. I replaced them all with slower rpm, low noise fans. In addition, I mounted a fan on one of the side panel mounts in order to blow cool air directly toward my video card. Something to consider: My video card, a GeForce GTX 560 Ti, barely fits. If you're going to install a mid- to high-end video card, make sure it will fit!

Pros: I think this case is pretty cool. I bought it to use for my girlfriends gaming rig. It's a sturdily built case at a decent price point. The red accent lights on the fans are nice, but not overpowering, I like that. I like the control panel on the front, gives you all the options you would really need, plus you can control the fanspeed and the fan lights right from the front. On my Antec DF-85 all the controls for the fans are on the back and you can't turn off the LED's. So kudos to you Cooler Master. There are plenty of bays in this rig for what my girlfriend will be using it for. I only put in Two hard drives and one dvd and one bluray drive (see cons about that). I was able to fit a CPU water cooler reservoir on the back facing fan and do a push pull configuration. Works nicely and keeps the CPU cool. Decent airflow running through the machine.

Cons: When I was installing one of the 5.25 drives I broke the plastic faceplate retention clips. this isn't a huge deal because I put the drive in and you would never know. but you have to be pretty careful when taking out the faceplates otherwise you'll break something.

Overall Review: Overall this is a very good case and it has an very streamlined look that I like. I compared this to the Antec DF-85 because that is what I run, but in essence that's like comparing and sedan to an SUV. It's not really in the same class as the Antec is a full size case, and the Storm Scout is a Mid.

Pros: Good looking, well built, has a comedy LED switch on the front and a handle! The inside of this case ending up putting up with well more than Cooler Master expected it to I'm sure, but I managed to make it cope. The 3.5" drive bays are rotated so they're easily accessible even if the case is crammed full of parts. The fans are of a good quality and positively contribute to airflow. PSU has it's own vent on the bottom of the case to again, help with airflow.

Cons: Expansion slot covers have cheap plastic clips to hold them on, rather than screws. Really not much help in the case for cable management, but then again space is at a premium in the system that this case is housing.

Overall Review: The carrying handle does NOT feel cheap, I still wouldn't ever recommend carting your system around like a suitcase, but it at least helps you get a good grip on it.

Pros: Lots of room, Plenty of ventilation, Handles, and light weight.

Cons: Box states 2x 120mm red LED fans. I got the fans but there are not LED. the secure lock technology should be called easy break technology. Be very very careful with the clips to secure your add-on cards. they are very fragile.

Overall Review: This isn't Newegg fault for the LED fans. it's the manufacturer. Cooler master your quality control id slipping

Pros: This is an update User Review to my 8/8/2012 review. I have, with some experimentation, been able to resolve the whining fans on the side door, and the purpose here is simple: To share the solution. I've also raised this review by one egg; the whining fans were severely affecting my joy of ownership. Absolutely love the sturdy lifting handle; I predict that handles are going to become more prevalent on PC cases - no one enjoys lifting and moving these beasts around.

Cons: The absence of USB 3.0 front connections is a disappointment; however, it can easily be corrected with a 5.25 bay insert; many are available, some are even shipping with new motherboards. Not a con, per se, but remember this is a mid-tower; it can get a little cramped.

Overall Review: Whine Solution: Flip the fans over from intake to exhaust. This is not my preferred airflow, but it totally stopped the whining and by the amount of hot air being dumped by the reversal, I have to think the solution is also effective from a cooling perspective. Maybe the solution was a big "duh", but I've not seen it posted elsewhere. One word of caution - my rig is liquid cooled. If you try this on an air cooled PC, I'd recommend watching those CPU temps very closely for the first few hours/days.

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.

Overall Review: 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: The case itself is good... it's a piece of aluminum. Looks good, nice powder coat.

Cons: CM customer service is horrific. Both LED fans failed and after submitting 2 eRMA's for each fan I decided to email on the status. Same day reply and the rep indicated the eRMA was processed and should be shipped within 24 hours. 2 weeks later (after no package) I decided to chat with Marvin (CM rep.) and he indicated (once again) that the fans should ship within 24 hours. Then after another two weeks I emailed Marvin all my correspondence asking him to look into the matter only to get no reply this time. Count it up... 1st eRMA Dec~15, 2nd eRMA ~Jan 5, 1st email ~Jan 13, 2nd live chat ~Jan 31, final email ~feb 14 and no reply!

Overall Review: Why have eRMA if CM doesn't honor the requests? Anyway, I know they're just fans... but still... it's the customer service. Got some 140mm (rival brand) replacement fans off NewEgg with a great $10 rebate on each one.

Pros: I love the integrated handle. This case feels very solid and has no sharp edges, good quality assembly. Having the front panel on top works better for me also, with the USB, headphone jack, and Esata located there. The hard drive cage is turned sideways to give you more room for today's larger video cards, and the HD rail system is quick and easy, snap the rails on and slide them in, definitely 5 star. The paint feels like a quality powdercoat inside and out. Many options for managing your cables too. Most of the wiring is already tucked into place. Fans are quiet and keep your hardware cool, plenty of room to add another large fan in the front under the optical drives. Also can add two more 120mm fans to the side window if desired. Tool free assembly works great on your optical drives, very solid. Mesh filter in the front bezel should work good like in previous CM models.

Cons: Would be nicer if there was more room behind the MB tray for the PS wires. With the prewired front control panel and fan wires running behind the MB, it is hard to fit the large main power cable. Screwless design is kind of flimsy on the video card or pci cards, I feel much more secure putting in a screw to hold them solid.

Overall Review: Imagine my surprise when I start my swap (Upgrading from a Coolermaster Centurion 5 CAC-T05) that they are exactly the same chassis! It is redesigned on the inside with PS on bottom now and HD cage turned sideways. The dimensions listed made me believe I was getting a slightly larger case than the Centurion. Don't get me wrong, this case is built different on the inside, with many improvements. Also the side panels are redesigned too, as is the front panel. I really liked my Centurion, but after several trouble free years I was ready for something a little different. The cons aren't anything you can't work around, especially the clamping of the pci cards because there is still a place for a screw. This case still has all the room I need with more aggressive styling and many improvements to a very solid case.
