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

Comment:
This was part of my first build from NCIX and it does not disappoint. The reason I bought this case is so I can lan with my Friends. Its mobility is one of its greatest strengths. Also the airflow is awesome keeps the hardware nice and cool. I would definitely recommend buying this case.

I recently built my second rig using this case. I must say that this was much harder to work with compared to the HAF 922. I don't like the way the tool-less drives work because they are kinda "choppy". Also, the space between the motherboard tray and the drive bays is very small, making it hard to work with the SATA cables. I don't like how the window is tinted but I think it would like a lot nicer with lights inside the case. Additionally, the fans on the case are quite loud to me.

This is the most favorite case I have owned, but it is not without problems. Actually, every case I have ever bought has the exact same problems. Outside of the core construction, all the pieces are cheap plastic that break faster than a wishbone.This case has just enough room (inside) to work with, you can find ways to fit almost any piece of hardware in there, and it looks real good. The only feature I would change is to include firewire among the USB ports on the front/top of the device. Much like the Storm Sniper has. Other than that, it does everything I could want.On a finale note, CM needs to use a better quality plastic. Cucumbers have more durability than most of the crap they use to "hold" items in place.

Bought this case a while back, has many useful features, primarily the handles, also has nooks for cable management and has an open back for mounting cpu heatsinks, overall a great case.

I'm running it as my gaming pc. works GREAT. i have it for 80 bucks. there is no top led light for top. fan push enough air around. i put two more in the side panel.

Nice case but has multiply weaknesses wich I wrote in the weakness section. Nice and compact with room for customization. It's a good case for it's price range but I recommend the Coolermaster Storm Sniper over this case.

This case was designed to be modded otherwise it could look as the average good looking case. If you truly want something compact and portable + being the king of modding this case was built for you!

Will definately sugtgest to anyone looking for a great case !!Awesome

Great mid tower case, especially with the painted interior, uses a tool less design so everything can be snapped into place. Got this case from Cyber Monday and it was worth every penny.

Amazing case from Cooler Master. Overall a great looking case with all black interior and carrying handle. Bought this for my new i7 setup and couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend.

Hopefully, I'll save someone's time with this experience. I was transferring my friends components to his new case and found that his OCZ power supply (which I will never use for bottom mounted case) has a short CPU cable length (No fault to the case). Had to use an extension for CPU lead from the power supply and found that it will not fit through the top opening unless I remove the top fan and remove some of the mobo screws to give it some play for it to fit through. Next, I found I couldn't close the side panel of the motherboard side and route a CPU extension line at the same time as there was not enough accomodating space. In other words, DON'T USE OCZ power supplies with this case.I found that the PCI slot covers at the back of this particular case was difficult to remove and in the process of removing it some shavings metal/paint shavings were falling off which may cause a short if you don't clean it all up. The plastic snap-ons to lock down the cards feels flimsy. After working with this case it has some good points and some personal bad points. Too bad CM didn't make this case in a similar size of the CM690 and have similar cooling capabilities of CM690 or the HAF 922.

An amazing great quality case with amazing looks. Cooling is awesome, my Radeon 4830 is idling at only 35 degrees, a 10 degree drop  from before. I wish they had included at least one side fan though. Cable management was diffcult, but if done correctly it lookssuper neat. Also, the handle is very solid. Great quality case. I reccomend it.

I'm glad I purchased this case at a largely discounted rate for the Cyber Monday NCIX sale. It is DEFINITELY NOT worth full price for the reasons listed in weaknesses. To go into more detail: The expansion card openings at the back of the case come with cheap plastic snap-ons that are supposed to act as hinges. When you mount a card, the plastic snap-ons are supposed to snap up and down to mount the card securely and also to hold the metal separators in when there is no expansion card present. Unfortunately they are made of cheap plastic and break easily. I've broken 2 already. Secondly, users are forced to use the hard drive mounting brackets with this case. At first they seemed decent but soon I learned of two problems. The first is that the hard drives rattle, even when I secured them more tightly by placing little shock absorbent o-rings between the bracket and the drive, my drives still rattle because the mount on the chassis isn't very stable. The second problem is that the brackets fall apart easily. Instead of screwing the drive in, the bracket has two metal points that stick out to be aligned and placed within the screw holes of the hard drive. These metal points are cheap and fall out easily. On a plus side, this does come with a lot of screws and mounting accessories. The downside is that they are cheap and break easily.

Very happy with this case, bought one to upgrade my old gaming rig case, transferred everything works flawlessly. Bought another for a friends comp and turned out the exact same, great room for upgrades in the future as well and its solidly built. I was using an Antec case that totally fell apart after a few years of usage, happy with these new Cooler Master cases. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice solid case that is not overly expensive.

Very nice and Solid case. Cable management is excellent.Cooling is incredible and if you add 2 fans on the side door it becomes absolutly awesome.

Comment:
Excellent case for a seasoned gamer. Very good cooling, great looks and good features for the price. Design also allows for switching CPU heatsinks and lots of space for cable management. Very happy with this purchase, easily better than the Antec 900 I have as my server.

This case is great but coolmaster could improve on it abitPros: Cool quiet great looking easy to work when installing componentsCons: case fans are a bit weak and could be more powerfull had trouble fitting in the dvd drive Overall this case is great and keeps my computer cool and cool to look at :)

Comment:
over all great case. lives up to all the research i did and is relatively quiet. mother board and drive installation was super easy.

Comment:
great case i lost about 10*C by picking this up only down side is it cannot fit large coolers with the top side panel fan so if your cool with just on fan you can put just about any cooler in there even a V10

Comment:
great product just big enough,but cable management was alittle tough teh black through out makes the case very attractive This review was modfied by poster @ 07-07-09 07:59 PM

Great case and is spacious enough for most cards. When I first got it and tried to put my video card in however I was worried it wouldn't fit. Has plenty of room for extra hard drives and DVD drives. The LED fans are not too bright and it has great filtration The see through side really helped me with seeing my motherboards error codes easily.

Comment:
It's really good case, black on the inside has good cable management, fairly easy to work with and not really heavy.I bought it today and put it together, it took me about an hour. There are no sharp edges or any other dangerous things in it.For not a hard core gamer with 11inch cards I would recommend this case, its nice and easy to work with.
