COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
This case is undoubtedly what I was looking for: Decent size to fit anything with room to spare, uncomplicated to move about, looks good, quiet... I place two more fans into it, and with five operating at complete tilt its hardly noticeable, and keeps almost everything at around 40-44 temp-wise. I'd absolutely recommend this to everyone searching for a nicely-rounded case. This is my very first laptop or computer construct, and I couldn't think of any way to make it simpler.

This case is really sturdy, and it comes with three fans already mounted, cable ties, and a complete host of screws/mounts. Red lighting looks great, and it's not especially loud. Contrary to the case it replaced, the front USB & audio jacks really perform! Even though it says it's "screwless," I decided to use screws to hold my GPU in location, since the plastic locking mechanisms don't seem really sturdy, but it's a novel notion for PCI cards that don't weigh a lot. Will most likely demand some adjustments for the latest-gen video cards (aka 6950), my 5770 fits but that one particular is not as extended. Both side panels come off in case you want to stuff cables underneath the motherboard, but I just place them below/behind my dvd drives.

Bought this case for my 1st individual computer construct. Was adore at 1st sight. The original fans give an great airflow, and the choice of two more 120mm fans on the side panel make the airflow even greater! I put these 2x120mm fans on and it cooled all my parts down by 14C. Installing the mobo was a tiny troublesome, despite the fact that I assume that its common for mobo's to be a tiny painful to set up. And the "lock buttons on the back of the case were a tiny confusing, and I broke 1, but they were type adequate to give you replacements. Despite the fact that these are cons I don't see the will need to take off an egg. I have had this case for 6 months and have had NO problems what-so-ever. I do not see how touching the front panel locks up the OS, forcing you to tricky boot your computer, I touch the front panel all the time on/off and have by no means had an problem.

It keeps very quiet, It keeps very cool. ATX motherboard fits in excellent and easlily. It is a advised item for gaming. I have not found any cons yet. Excellent case.

Outstanding case! Efficiency wise it leave a ton of room for expansion, the angled buttons and front ports are wonderful if you're putting the box under your desk. Cable routing possibilities are fantastic as properly, not the greatest I've ever noticed but but you'd have to spend at least twice as significantly ahead of you have any greater selections. the cut out on the MoBo tray is excellent if you're looking to explore unique CPU cooling choices, tends to make swapping coolers a breeze. The tool-much less design is excellent. the snap in challenging drive bays are actually slick. except for fastening the MoBo down I didn't touch a screwdriver the complete time I was working on the case.Aesthetically this case gets an A+ as effectively. The all black interior is wonderful, the windowed side panel, and the on off switch on the front panel for the red lit fans is nice. The carrying manage is very stout can swing the thing about like a baton fully loaded and get no flex at all. The bottom mount PSU assists make this factor seriously stable as effectively. None what so ever. I've heard men and women complain about the design of the clips that hold down the PCI cards getting flimsy but I had no difficulties at all. You have the option of screwing the cards down but mine doesn't get jostled or beat on adequate to warrant such clamping force. Not enough area to tell you all that I like about this case. There had been plenty of spare components in the box incase you lose a thumbscrew or break a PCI retaining clip. Check the Pc modding forums there is a ton of versatility to this thing.I will not hesitate 1 bit to obtain an additional Scout or any Cooler Master case in the future, by far the finest case I've ever owned.Note:I paired this case with the OCZ Fatal1ty 750W PSU (red fan on the PSU) and they appear fantastic with each other. A heads up to individuals hunting to do this (and it appears obvious but...) the switch that controls the lights on the case fans won't turn off the light on the PSU (like I said clear appropriate?) this doesn't bother me as I don't actually plan on ever turning the lights off, but if getting capable to totally darken the case is a priority then thats something to contemplate. If you are interested in the identical PSU I'll be writing a evaluation on it as well in the extremely near future.

The case has a manage for obtaining to lan parties less difficult. it has three nice fans that are effectively placed. it has adequate expansion bays to preserve you set for a lengthy time. and it looks awesome. due to the fact the difficult drives and expansion bays aren't facing the very same way it makes fitting cables sort of hard. but other then that i haven't had any complications. woo red led!!

Comment:
- Case is very nicely created and has a good black finishing touch to it- Optimal cable management for a mid-tower- Practical way to add/remove drives without having the use of tools- Fantastic airflow along with a lot of room, makes it possible for for two further fans on the side panel as properly- Can fit any GPU on the market- Button to turn off LEDs on the stock fans It would have been great if the case came with a fan controller, but even then, the fans are nonetheless quiet while operating at full speed so I can't seriously complain!

Comment:
I am overall really pleased with this case, I did make several modifications, like making room for extra fans, and replacing inexpensive parts.

Comment:
Looks good. I like the technique employed for putting in tricky drives and optical drives. I also like how each sides come off to make issues less difficult to hook up. It's a good solid case.The red led's on the fans can be turned off with a straightforward toggle on the front of the situation. One particular of the cooling fans was defective. The led lights operate but the fan itself doesn't spin. Genuine estate about power supply is tight. I agree with a prior reviewer about getting a modular energy provide for this case.

Comment:
I enjoy every little thing about this case. I want you could do far better cable management. Recommended to anybody seeking for a great situation with some good functions for the price tag.

Comment:
This thing is amazing. Incredibly sleek and attractive, has this amazing evil glow to it. Fits every little thing inside fairly decently. Fits my two 570's in sli completely. However the most brilliant factor about it is that YOU CAN Match A 120MM FAN IN THE FRONT DRIVE BAYS Perfectly, the holes align perfectly, not a lot of folks know this. I have my DVD drive in the top bay and I have my corsair H70 occupying the rest of the 4 bays, SO PPL DONT THROW OUT UR DRIVE BAY PLATES!!!!!!!! Effectively the only meh-ok factors about it is the cable management, it's a bit hard for newbies

Comment:
Excellent airflow and the led switch off feature was nice. General glad i opt for this case Only real concern is as stated by most is cable management but if you would get a fully moduler PSU that'd aid a ton I'd suggest this to everyone undertaking a make.

Fist fell in enjoy with appear, then whisper really fans, then the deal with which liked but didnt actually factor would use, use all the time now. I adore the button on leading to permit you to turn the lights on front and rear fan on and off as you opt for. Tool much less drive base and close to perfection with this 1 Tabs holding pci rails can break simply if not careful, limited additional tabs

Comment:
- Quiet- Fantastic Airflow- Looks Cool- Not a behemoth - Doesn't fit the longest video cards- USB 2 ports on the front For the dollars, you can't go wrong.Don't waste hundreds on a much more present case, as this has every little thing you'll will need for very some time. Just make confident you don't have any video cards over ten.5" lengthy and your all set.

Comment:
Good tool-much less HD bays and Component bays. Manage on major is sturdy and fantastic for when I bring my pc to friends houses. 4 USB front ports, external e-sata port up front are extremely practical. LED light switch this comes with only controls the stock fans, any added fans will not be able to use that feature. 1 of the stock fans DOA, and 1 other went within the initially month. (cheap and simple to replace although). Be aware bottom loaded PS, advocate Roswell PS as the cables are normally long sufficient.

Comment:
3 substantial fans, really, keeps internal parts cool, built sturdy, and very good layout. As reported by others the front I/O panel has significant static issues. By touching the front panel will trigger the OS to lockup and blackout, only way to fix is by difficult restart of computer.Uses a bunch of power provide connections. The case really must have three eggs but I am giving it 1 egg since I have had a request in for the "improved front I/O panel" to cooler master for 9 days and have not received any service.

This case really fit my ATI HD5870!!!! For these of you with long video cards that want to acquire this case, make confident that your mobo's PCIe slot is either at leading or 2nd best, any decrease slots will not fit cards longer than ten.five inches. My 5870 has energy plugged in at the end as well, which makes the card even longer. I was hesitated whether to acquire or not then I just gave it a shot. And i consider if your video card slot is at the quite leading of the mobo, then ANY card need to fit since there is space in the CD-ROM location. Amazing case, excellent style and very quiet. Also alot of space at the back of the case for cable management. Almost everything was easy to install. SLI / CF is not achievable if you have long video cards. Nevertheless i have seen case mods that cut out parts of the difficult drive bay. I really should have bought it when there was coupon for it... But still worth the ๠.

EVERYTING on this case is black. Anything on this case is solid. Each fan on this case is silent. Everything about this case is amazing. None. I mounted two Scythe 120mm "Slipstream" Case Fans (SY1225SL12M) as intake fans to the window... A silent hurricane of case cooling greatness is the very best way to describe a set up like this...

Comment:
This case is good for a low-medium budget PC. It is good for a low budget builder who plans to expand later and doesn't want to buy a new case. Has good cable management.

Comment:
Looks wonderful, carrying manage is incredibly handy, 3 substantial fans created by the identical company as the case, more screws than you could ever need, awsome hard drive mounts for effortless sliding in and out, and 3.five" to 2.5 conversion kit (for when you want to set up an SSD) Nothing at all but, despite the fact that it does weigh 20 pounds by itself I honestly haven't had a chance to seriously test out my hardware with it but; I've only installed my PSU and DVD drive so far **I did not obtain this case from Newegg, I identified it at a retailer for the exact similar cost**

Cooler Master has generally been a top rated case manufacturer and the storm scout SGC-2000 is a fantastic example of a effectively thought out and well executed situation. Access to every single part of the situation is virtually tool-much less and the cable dressing alternatives built in is great. The fans are just about silent and do a great job at keeping the motherboard and all components cool.Lastly it looks good too and it was on sale, can't beat that. The only con I would have is the red LED, would rather have blue but I can turn them off with a press of the button on the top rated control panel. Excellent fit for my Asus M4A87TG/USB3 motherboard, OCZ 700 PSU, NVidia 456 GPU, eight Gb G. Ability memory and Seagate two TB HDD.

Looks Good inside (all black interior) and out, plenty of room between Motherboard and Back pannel to hid cabling, can turn off LED's on fans seperatly from shutting fans down, good manage on leading for moving around a lot, stock fans move a lot of air to preserve it cool (even with dual vid cards). Certain I am missing something but oh well. only cause for one particular egg off is that the fan in the major of the case is Genuinely tight on my motherboard. tends to make for great ventilation on my cpu but my CPU power connectors which are proper on the edge of my board were a tiny tricky to get in against the fan. Also, there is no USB 3. ports included not a major deal for me appropriate now but think about this when deciding upon.oh and there is not room for a water cooled method anyplace in this. All round, extremely pleased with this. the build was a tiny appealing but nothing at all bad. Would purchase it once more.

This situation is a effectively circulated 1. The situation is very properly make and the handles on the leading make it straightforward to move from location to place. My computer correct now is running at 28 degrees so overall Remarkable Case. Not genuinely a poor factor but the Leds dont light up as considerably as i would like them to. I believed it would be brighter but you cant actually see the lights except via the side panel. Specs.1. Cooler Master Storm Scouttwo.

Solid, durable, and properly created. Pictures do not do this case justice. Makes it possible for for simply mounted drive bays. Added brass stands and power provide rests on the bottom. Plenty of room for my NVidia 470. Fan and usb wires run nicely as to not get in the way. Manual could have come with a bit more info. Not actually a complaint, but much more of a suggestion. I have built fairly a couple of machines more than the years. Following I finish selecting all my internal parts I have always skimped on the situation, in an attempt to save a dollar or two. Even excellent searching cases by little recognized makers. I opted to go for a superior identified business this time about and am glad I decided to go that route. If this situation pans out over the subsequent 1-two years, I will be sold on this business.

Really superior situation lots of room has three fans which is wonderful keeps my motherboard operating xcool It is Massive
