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

Comment:
Sleek, spacey, cool, and tool-cost-free assembly! Coming from a cheap-o Xion case, this case is the finest thing considering that sliced bread. I purchased an additional fan to apply to the side panel, to blow out the hot air, and I have by no means been happier. Took my CPU/GPU's core temps from 70-75+ C, to about 50-55 degrees C. Doesn't come with absolutely free water-cooling assembly. ;) Wish I had just gotten this when I initially built my laptop!

Case and red LED's are eye-catching, the external I/O ports are handy. Getting capable to turn of the LED's with the touch of a button is a nice feature if you discover lights to be annoying at times. Screwless bays and expansion card slots. Deal with on leading tends to make carrying much easier, given that it is not a light case. Wonderful value. While I like the sideways HDD bays, and screwless, slide-in/snap-in style I ran into one challenge. With the port side of the SATA HDD's facing towards the outside case panel, I identified that I could not even close case panel with a normal straight-finish SATA cable sticking out of the ports. I had to use an "L" shaped finish as an alternative. If like me you don't have enough "L"shaped SATA cables then your other option is to flip the HDD about backwards with the ports facing the other panel on the back. If you take off the back panel you can attain the ports effortlessly and there is adequate room to close the panel. Does not take away an egg from the score, but certainly some thing to take into account when considering installation. One of the better situations I have ever dealt with. The screwless styles are usually mediocre, this one particular seems to perform greater. Time will tell if the plastic will hold up.

I was initially going to do a transparent acrylic case, but the great ones are about 赨-跌 so I started searching about and settled here immediately after seeing it in the regional Fry's. And BAM, I'm very satisfied with the decision. I have rejuvenated respect for CM items. This case is make Quite nicely, tool much less design and style works properly, and case design can't be beat at this cost level, or even the subsequent level. The lighting on this case is great. Not too bright like other people. Zero. If I could do it all more than again, and give me 赨 further bucks, I'd nonetheless buy this case more than again.

The Storm Scout is a fantastic case. Fantastic study create with lots of neat features. The Front panel is effortlessly removed with a tug at the bottom. The sideways HDD bays are great for wiring. Tooless 5.25" bay slots worked fine. The handle is sturdy and when carrying feels quite safe. The subtle red of all the fans actually tends to make the case not be over the top, but nonetheless look good. Adding two much more 120mm red fans on the side seriously helped. The people at Cooler Master have been not thinking quite difficult on this a single when designing the case for cable management. This is a one hundred$ case. Goodness..... a cpu energy slot at the leading correct of the ATX board is just a no brainer. The back panel was about a quarter inch as well little for me to fit most of my cables, so i just shoved them into the area behind the front fan. A GTX 480 fit in right here with about a SATA power cables width in among the card and the case. (only fits mainly because of the angled card and the slot ending up suitable above the difficult drive bay) This is a really sturdy and intelligent case. The guys at CM just decided to drop the ball on cable management. I would suggest this case to everyone who didnt want to shell out the kind of cash for a HAF or any high finish Antec, but the money you put into these instances will get you a far better good quality solution.

Good Seeking CASE. I Enjoy THE RED AND BLACK THEME. THE CASE IS Effectively Built WITH Plenty OF Area FOR EVEN THE Largest COOLERS. PLEANTY OF FANS WITH Excellent AIR FLOW TO Retain Point COOL, EVEN HAS DUST FILTERS FOR EVEYTHING BUT THE SIDE PANEL. THE FANS ARE Very Really. Very CONVENANT TOOLESS Design. YOU Can not Buy A FAN FOR THE SIDE PANEL LIKE THE ONES IN THE CASE. Nonetheless Trying TO Discover A Very good MATCH OF Color, AIR FLOW, AND QUITENESS.

This is a really cool mid tower. Very simple to connect to mob. Lots of room for every thing you possibly could place in it! Not a one particular.

Comment:
Sleak design and style, lots of front panel USB ports, substantial fans for cooling. This case would be alright if I wasn't attempting to use most of my power supplies's wires. With three HDDs, graphic card that requires both PCI-E wires etc. Just not adequate space. I also didn't like the reality that cooler master attempted hiding the front panel and 120mm fan cables - It left me no area to perform unless I manually took off the second side and unravel every thing. For my third con - 1 of the 120mm fan does not perform!!This case if fine for everyone who has a single - HDD, optical drive, and modest GPU (small is physical shape and calls for much less power)

Appears fantastic, love the hard drive setup, clean edges so you don't slice yourself open I bought this case as step one particular of a budget rebuild. Brought it property, transferred all my hardware, hooked it all up, pressed the power button. The HDD and PWR LEDs lit up for half a second, shut off and the overwhelming smell of burning circuitry filled the air. Beautiful. Soon after switching cases, I have discovered out now my hardware is cooked. I've been building, rebuilding, modifying and repairing computer systems for various years for friends and household as effectively as myself with out incident. The only point I wont do is mount my processors, I buy all-in-ones. I bought this case with my current RMA replacement video card upgrade (EVGA awesome lifetime warranty on artifacting yay!) in thoughts to aid in the cooling that my existing case only got with the side off. Now I have no rig, no laptop and a large fat paperweight that doesn't even have operating lights. I am NOT pleased.DO NOT WASTE YOUR Money OR YOU'LL BE Constructing Yet another NEW Pc regardless of whether you can afford it or not. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Client - We apologize for any inconvenience. Please make confident every connection is properly connected. For instance, the two pin connectors coming from the fans are to be connected to the top panel and not the motherboard. The Manual goes into more detail in regards to how the fans are connected.

This has to be the 1 of the very best mid tower situations out there. It has so a lot area and the excellent of construct is CM typical top notch Zero!

Sleek case, handle is practical, lets you do some decent cable management. Front panel is extremely hassle-free. I received the product with non-LED fans. I know it isn't a massive deal, but the fact that I paid for the and the reality that I'm not finding use out of the front panel LED manage switch is pretty annoying. Also, the directions for the installation of an ATX difficult drive have been wrong. Not a massive deal at all, but just a side note, they advised putting mounts in the wrong areas.

Appears good and comes with excellent capabilities. Cable management was decent. Every thing operates proper out of the box. Fan are decently quiet. Case seems genuinely quick. I could not match my video card in. I wanted to put my gtx275 in a new box for my daughter and it would not fit. Had a lot of space in my antec 900 case. If your planing on obtaining any higher finish cards that are lengthy don't get this case. Hdd cage have to be removed if you want room. For the exact same cost as when I purchased my 900 case I would have thought that it would be practically the very same, but it's not as big. Not as sturdy as properly. The metal in the 900 is thicker and seems much more tough. Also more fan in the 900.

Comment:
Nice metal case, thumb screws, tool-totally free and beneficial handle. Worth A small bit challenging to cable handle with a psu that has a lot of cables. Not considerably of a problems for me, took me about 10 minutes only.

1st off this case is the very best develop case for me period. The ease of wire upkeep, the 3 fans Ƒ-120mm and two-140mm) are outstanding for cooling your rig, plus the invention of screw-much less assembly (except for the mobo which you nonetheless have to screw in mount supports) makes for an simple develop and a fast create. This will be my case for future builds due to this and also the ability to have a deal with on prime for straightforward movement of the total program is serendipity. The only con is that the four pin molex connectors for the two upper fans had the wires stripped. So when I connected them there was no power to the upper fans. Got to figure out how to remedy this as I want those upper fans working. Seems like there was no QA on this case due to the fact the wiring for those two upper fans now want 2 new molex connectors. Need to have to contact Cooler Master - I am sure we could operate this out. Soon after I opened this case and saw the strong build and ease of assembly I just fell in enjoy with it. Certain Antec has some excellent instances out there but CoolerMaster has won me over. Use to construct with Antec Sonata situations. Now I will add this case to my assembly line.

Comment:
Nice case with lots of air movement. My initial create and I am glad I got this case. The video is incredibly useful. The sides are a bit hard to put back on when a lot of cables are used. Place the really hard drives in with the cable attachment side facing the side where the motherboard is attached and the cables are not a problem finding the side back on.

Comment:
The case appears awesome and the fans aren't loud. Effortless setup and no difficulties whatsoever. None related to the solution. This was my initially computer system develop and this case produced it uncomplicated to make. The only factor I didn't like ,since of my inexperience, was the cable management. I didn't get the "perfect" cabling but i'm still satisfied. General anything went wonderful and am glad I bought this case.

Comment:
all round good case lots of area and plenty of areas to place factors. the window requirements to be a lot more where you can see whats on the mb not the optical drives/hd slots. but thats jsut a private thing to me. you want a excellent sturdy case at a afordable price tag and appears good also get this 1

This is a extremely very good searching case. Solid develop excellent. The deal with at the top is a good feature and it is quite sturdy. Even if you don't go to lan parties its good to have. The paint job is extremely good, and getting the inside painted tends to make it look really sharp. This case has very fantastic cooling with just the stock fans, and is really quiet. I feel my cpu heatsink fan makes the most noise out of anything in the case. The fan LEDs are a bit dim, but i like that. They aren't going to blind you or light up your whole room at evening. Gives the case a classier additional subtle appear imo. The drive mounting systems are fantastic and effortless to use. The ports on the front panel are very effortlessly accesible, and the buttons are great high quality. The dust filters on the front panel and the psu grate are a quite nice touch and really should assist to retain the case somewhat dust free of charge. Cable management is decent with several tie down points(see cons). The hole in the mobo tray is nice as effectively for aftermarket heatsinks. There are a few minor difficulties i have with the case. The tool-less locking mechanism for the pci slots feels flimsy and cant hold bigger graphics cards in spot, so you will will need to use screws. There is quite limited space at the best of the case due to the huge fan, so you may well run into issues with some cables or the motherboard. Molex connectors for the fans really feel flimsy and are challenging to connect. Now on to the largest issue imo. The cable management. I comprehend its a mid tower and space is limited, but this could have been made a bit greater. The front panel wires are routed behind the edge of the mobo tray towards the front, which is fantastic, on the other hand, it leaves little to no space for the rest of your cables. There is a hole at the bottom of the mobo to rout cables through, but if you put your psu cables via there, for instance, it will be not possible to close the side panel, due to the fact you have to go about the back of the cables that are already there. The side panel bows (cot'd) out a small towards the rear, which provides the case a nice appear but doesn't aid considerably with cable management due to the fact most of your cable routing will be close to the front. All factors considered, this is a quite good case for the price. Incredibly solid construct quality and looks wonderful. If you can get past a few minor difficulties its a fantastic buy. If you require additional space for cable management i would suggest getting a bigger case, maybe the HAF 922.Cooler Master has a fantastic solution right here and i would surely get once more. method specs for referenceMobo: MSI 890FXA-GD65CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 three.4GHz Quad-CoreGFX: Sapphire radeon HD 6870 vapor-x 1gigRAM: G-Ability Ripjaws X 8gigƒx4gig) 1333 PSU: XFX XXX P1-650X-CAG9 650W modularHDD: WD raptor 74gig, Hitachi 1tb

Love the ALL BLACK, 4 USB ports in front, solution to turn off LED lights and the sturdy manage. Tool-much less Case.Pretty good for cable management also. I was looking all about for a case for my new develop then I observed this The Marvell Raid SATA ports are tight on my P8P67 but nevertheless usable. Use with the Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler would have to use a 120 x 120 x 12 mm fan for the side fan.The hold downs for the Expansion Slots are inexpensive even though, broke the very first one but that is most likely why they gave you an additional 1.

Lots of space for a mid tower. The toolless design and style made factors a snap to set up. Two Substantial MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr ll/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) Video Cards, in SLI, fit in nicely. The two spots for fans on the side panel are excellent for maintaining your Video cards cool. There was alot of space for COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520 RR-920-N520-GP 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler. Oh! It has a Fricken Handle, Amazing! Solid as a rock. It dosn't have removeable screens for the vents, so you will have to blow them out. Otherwise it is an awesome case. This case was my initially make and I loved each min. of it. I don,t know why I had not done this befor. It looks excellent with two COOLER MASTER SickleFlow 120 R4-L2R-20AR-R1 120mm Silent operation Red LED case fans. Thanks Newegg, I will be Developing computer systems from now on insted of going retail.

Comment:
Wonderful case. enough stated. i mean its a case what much more do i have to say? =P Back fan was DOA. but i got a garage complete of parts so it was kinda effortless to repair. but for your every day laptop dude it may come as an inconvenience. i woudlnt let my " back fan was DOA " hold you from buying this case. components fail. it rarely happens.

Comment:
Well it's a good case with a lot of bays... stays much cooler than my final case.. my video card is seeing a 5c distinction at idle so that is fantastic.. even so. a single of the fan's that it shipped with was dead on arrival. it isn't a large deal, nevertheless, i'd like every little thing functioning when it gets right here. also i do have a radeon 6950 which i had to slide into the floppy bay in order to make it fit. It is a answer.. and it works.. but actually? the case looks good and general i'm happy i bought it because i got it immediately after shipping and tax for ๑ and some adjust.. but there are just small points like the fan and not getting adequate room for the video card that appear like they are extremely correctable Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Given the description, its most most likely you are speaking of the rear 120 mm fan. Please make positive that you connect both cables: the 2 pin and the 4 pin molex to the energy supply, otherwise the fan will not spin. There should be four molex connectors in total that must be plugged into the power supply. Once all 4 are plugged, all the fans will operate.

great construction, lots of cooling possibilities, easy access to front panel, and finaly a Deal with on a case to carry it ! HDD drive bay is to close to the panel cover, difficult time closing it with cables attached to hdd, they Need to be proper angle. or else you have to stick the hdd in with the cables attached the other way. The fans are all 2 pin, motherboards need three pin for controling speed for far more effiecient cooling... I will replace a couple of them so I can handle fan speed. The case was onsale for 79$ so it was a pretty excellent deal... I like it more than all.

This is an awesome case. HD mounting and Disk Drive installation are a breeze. Stock fans are quiet and effective. The front I/O panel its really brilliant. It match the CollerMaster V8 Cooler and that factors fricking humungous. This was my 1st construct and I'm incredibly content with this case. Invest in a Modular Power provide. There is a lot of area, but not for additional wires hangin around. I didn't and now my extra wires are stuffed in a bundle underneith my harddrive. Thats significantly less airflow from the front fan.

Excellent value. Has a handy "light" button on the front Only three fans, and whatever worker tried assemble my case failed with attempting to bunch the wires with each other. They zip-tied the third fan energy supply behind the case to a spot that wasn't accessable. Also, the case didn't supply sufficient screws so I necessary to go back and makes use of screws provided with my final Antec case Next time I'm just going to stick with Antec circumstances
