Cooler Master Storm Trooper Case Review

Review Score:

November 8th, 2011 at 8:41 am - Author Zardon

The new Cooler Master Storm Trooper is a case that is getting a lot of attention. It is a full tower chassis able to handle an array of hard drives, graphics cards and XL ATX motherboards. It also has full dust filter coverage, a fan controller, an external SSD drive hot-swap dock and two uniquely designed modular hard drive cages. The appearance is also something you won’t forget in a hurry.

I really like the top part of this case, very different as reviewer says.

Interesting that the drive bays can be rotated inside, never seen that done before.

the appearance is too complex for me to find it attractive,. I like simple lines.

I do agree it is certainly stand out. but for me, ill pass.

The internal design is good, but im not sure about that handle section. Seems a bit daft with such a heavy steel case to expect people to carry them about…….
