Cooler Master debuted the Storm series cases a while back aimed at both gamers and enthusiasts. The Sniper , which we recently reviewed, was the first of these new cases. Today we are looking at another case of the series, this one designed for LAN gamers.

So what constitutes the Storm series? Is it the sturdiness, security and control of the chassis? In fact it is all of these things that make up a Storm series case, with all of the innovative design that has gone into these chassis.

The Cooler Master Scout is a mid-tower case with some interesting features. One of these interesting features is the "storm guard" expansion slot cover, designed to protect your peripherals from theft when at a LAN Party.

The Scout is a bit smaller when set along side of the Sniper but still packs a visual punch. It has a very rugged look, but is appealing at the same time. So let's put this case into the battlefield and see if it survives.
