Cooler Master Storm Trooper Case Review

quote Ohmycaptain

At the end of the article, it reads "at $189 it is well below the price of other high-end cases such as the Corsair 800T". It's the 800D, not 800T


Looks like a really great case, though. Glad more and more companies are taking Corsair's cable management grommets and implementing them in their cases.

I just don't like cases without side panel windows, which is why I would never spend $190 on that case. IMO, the Corsair 650D is a better option than the CM Storm Trooper, but that's just based on personal preference for looks.

Also, plastic on a high end case ($180+) is not acceptable to me. All Aluminum or Aluminum/Steel should be the only materials used on the exterior of the case.

I also like the looks of Corsair 650T however I keep hearing about its poor airflow. What I ideally would love to have is a smaller version of this Trooper case AND with the addition of a side window. Since apparently such case doesn't exist (because all mid tower cases seem to either have poor airflow, ugly looks or no side window) I guess I will be searching forever:(

With all the Storms brewing over at Cooler Master's case department, you'd think something called the Storm Trooper would have showed up sooner.

The photography in these reviews is fantastic, but the images themselves are too small in size for me to get a good look at details. Is there any way we can get larger images?

Are the images in the gallery too small as well ?

Yes, I find 800x600 a bit small. I appreciate that this is done to accommodate low bandwidth users, of which I would consider myself to be one, but I think it would be an improvement if some way could be found to provide larger images such as, for example, 1024x768.
