COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case

Comment:
The case has large quiet fans that hold the system cool, challenging drive bays that are straightforward to use when full size graphics cards are in use, and a speedy to install tool-absolutely free design and style. Touch the case, touch the I/O panel, or generally look at the case the incorrect way and it halts the OS. This problem swiftly made the joy of developing the program a minor pro to owning the case.

Where do I start? Let's commence with how much of a dream this case is to operate in. There's a *ton* of area inside, drive bays are totally tool-much less, and I in particular adore the difficult drive cage.Installation of elements in this case is a cinch, as you just have a lot of space to work in and nothing at all is getting crammed together, tons of breathing space. The hooks and holes for cable management are well-placed, enabling the case to turn into a veritable windtunnel.This is also the very first case I've ever had that truly has a Working front I/O panel. Four USB two., Firewire 400, E-SATA and Mic/Headphones, all performs. The best factor, although, is the fan-handle nob... it actually functions, as does the LED button. Fans are extremely, quite quiet too, even at full blast.Has sufficient clearance for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler, as nicely. Heavy. Incredibly, very heavy after everything's all stated and done. This is not a case you want for LAN parties, or if you just move your computer around a lot, even though it has handles. Won't take an egg off for that, knew what I was finding in to.

Massive case, lots of tie-down loops, 3 large fans, constructed-in fan controller with room/ports for two a lot more fans. Solid. Excellent top rated-handles. Massive enough for my CM 212+. Side fan keeps a SLI-pair of GTX 460's cool enough to stay in the 60's. Mesh leaks noise. Want the front drive bay shields were strong. A single of the fans is unbalanced; makes a "wah-wah" noise. My SSD's 2.five--ɯ.five" brackets don't function with the really hard drive mounting program (they are also quick; the mounting method expects complete-length challenging drives. The case come with one particular SSD mounting kit, but I need two and I can't appear to discover anymore for sale. I would like to acquire a different and use CM's mounting system. (Maybe a rep can contact me...)

This case is super! Hugh with a lot of area inside. Really quiet with all the large fans. Toolless design is flawless! So far quite satisfied. None

Comment:
roomy cable mangement can shut the lights off which was a huge deal for me fan controller and wide sufficient for any aftermarket heatsink cant go wrong its a excellent case its big far more like a complete tower and heavy not a con for me just saying

Fantastic searching case. A lot of space. Excellent handles on top rated for movement. fans top rated, front, and back. Optional on bottom. Reset switch a little hidden but it has a large "R" on it. Heavy and sturdy. LED's in al fans but rear. Controlled by front panel and not your motherboard. eSATA on front is nice as is IEEE1394. LED for the HDD was inoperable. Checked and rechecked wiring. Wires test continuity. Verified MB was ok. Either a terrible circuit board or a terrible LED. Requested RMA currently. Sadly, this item ships no cost but to return to Newegg fees me far more than the original shipment of the case and all its new elements. I guess that is aspect of the risk we take. Also all standoffs are the exact same size. But the rear connectors on the Gigabyte UD4 motherboard did not quite fit correctly at the leading of the snap-in back panel. It could be the mounting hardware or the case itself. I do not think it is the motherboard but I will know when the new case arrives.

This case is Awesome! It is Quite Extremely Large! Individuals say this a lot, but when you get it and unpack it you will see what I mean. It may well be a mid-tower but it is taller than my Complete-Tower. The complete interior is coated Black which is really nice. The bottom fan has a Dust filter on it, so does the entire side of the case where the 200mm Fan is attached. The rear fan does not have a dust filter. It comes with 4 Fans Ɠ) of them are the 200mm with four Blue LED lights. The slot at the bottom of the MOBO Tray is plenty large to match a high finish CPU Cooler Ɣ.75" L x 4.68" W) Cable management is best. The hole at the bottom of the case for cable management has a pretty decent size to match your PSU cables ƕ.81" L x two" W) The distance from the back of the case to the bottom Fan slot is 7.68" so you can match a quite lengthy PSU. The drive mounting technique is incredibly comparable to the HAF 922 [i need to say exactly] The added Water Cooling Grommets is a plus, 2 on the leading and 2 on the bottom, by the PSU. Buy It! There are no CONS! I had a difficult time picking cases. I had to decide on involving the HAF 922, the Storm Scout and The Sniper. To start, the HAF 922 is a dust Magnet [seriously] plus the interior isn't black [so eeh] and only comes with two USB ports [hmm...] and no Firewire. Subsequent the storm scout is incredibly nice but, it can barely match a High End CPU Cooler max is 165mm i believe. The Scout's fans aren't as large, the biggest fan it bring is the Leading fan which is 140mm the rest are 120mm. The fantastic thing about the Scout is that it comes with four USB ports [nice] But once more No firewire. Overall the Sniper case is the Ideal, it is a combination of both situations with each it's features plus far more, completely upgraded. The Sniper case is the greatest ever trust me if you had to select in In between those three go with the Sniper case, It may possibly be a little additional ($) but you will be totally happy. If you plan on acquiring the newest video cards, CPU coolers, etc...the Sniper case can match them all! It is the only case you will ever require! :)

I bought this case for my high-end gaming rig a handful of months ago. Right after obtaining it for about 7 months, I feel like I'm certified to comment on it.First of all, this is much more of a tiny fulltower than a substantial midtower. It easily fit a GTX 580, PCI sound card, PCIe PhysX card, 5 challenging drives, two optical drives, and complete ATX motherboard with room to breath. The top mesh (underneath the handles) has grow to be loose, and begins to rattle uncontrollably on occassion. A quick pat to it fixes the concern, but it's an annoyance.I've used this to LAN, as it's been advertised for. It weights possibly about 70 pounds, and the plastic/mesh combo handles (on major) have in fact worked really nicely -- no signs of damage, yet. The high quality is okay. Mine came with the LED's blown on the side panel -- an e mail to CoolerMaster USA went unanswered...oh well, not that much of a major deal.Front panel is a small flimsy. The built in fan controller is neat, but it feels like I'm going to break it anytime I use it. At a LAN I brought this also, men and women refused to sit subsequent to me, as the pc put out a quite huge quantity of cold air due to the 200mm fan on the side. Keeps elements cool and functional, but I'm almost certainly going to end up replacing this case at some point in the close to future.

- Exceptional match & finish- A lot of space for the largest of graphics cards- Entirely, 100%, certainly silent- Extremely sturdy- Super straightforward drive installation - Fan handle knob is very stiff.- LED power button calls for also substantially force to press. It ought to be like the case energy button, but it's not. - Despite a pocket in the back for cable management, it could nonetheless use some additional room.- Intake mesh plate too difficult to get at; it will make cleaning the dust out a bit of a pain. I am upgrading from my Cooler Master Centurion which was reliable for the 5 years I owned it. My principal motivation was it was as well tiny for my new graphics card, and had really poor cooling/ventillation. What pushed me more than the edge was its intake fan lastly died, and rather than go through the hassle of replacing it, I figured it would be far better just to get a new situation totally. My initial impression with the situation was the high good quality feel and finish. It looks and feels like it's worth its value, which created me feel like I got my dollars's worth out of it. Assembly was easy thanks to its spacious interior, and for as soon as I have a situation which doesn't have energy cables criss-crossing everywhere thanks to its good-but-could-be-greater cable management process. The most notable issue about this case is even when the fans are operating at half speed, the situation itself is one hundred% silent. The only noise you'll hear is from your CPU/GPU/PSU. Properly worth the cash!!!

Very good airflow, effectively built, sturdy. There is nice carry point on best. LOTS of space The LED/Fan handle button is a small bit loose on mine It's a lot bigger than I expected. Make confident you have area if you intend to put this under your desk or one thing

Comment:
Big. It has tons of space. I like the big fans that it came with it and the air flow is good. The drive bays are actually speedy and easy to set up and the cable management is very good.I like that all the components inside are coated/painted the identical finish as the outside and everything is really sturdy. The most important energy LED casts a blue spot light on my ceiling at night. Just need to make confident to energy it down prior to batman shows up. :) This is an incredible case. I'm seriously glad I got it and I have give some of the props to NewEgg and their on the web movies. Seeing the case in action sold me on it.

Comment:
Awesome ventilation, front fan manage, switch to turn on/off LEDs, pleanty of area for all peripherals, and very well believed out. Lots of hardware included for securing mobo. See beneath Do not acquire this if you do not understand the size. This is the HUMMER of laptop instances (and it makes no excuses for it).

Comment:
Not much to say cept lots of air going via. keeps every thing cool Bright LED light. that's about it. make sure you examine your fan size.

Comment:
Lots and LOTS of airflow.Pretty quiet even with the fans set to complete speed.Lots of room inside.The screwless drive design is genuinely, seriously great.The light button on leading is fairly great. It was wider than I expected it to be, but I didn't verify the specs so it's not seriously a con.I wish there was a way to take off the front fan filter devoid of very first getting rid of the fan.The fan control knob on best feels super plastic-y, albeit sturdy.

Comment:
More substantial than I anticipated, tool-less component mounting is nice, and the HDD bays have dampeners in them. Appears nicely constructed, I located no obvious flaws or defects and overall seems to be solidly constructed. The fan speed knob feels a little stiff. No instructions whatsoever. I've by no means built a system prior to and I most likely took on a bit much more of a challenge than I must have, but almost everything in my new system such as this case has worked precisely as planned. I would advocate this case.

Comment:
I have owned dozens of instances in my lifetime, from raidmax to thermaltake, to acer and this a single is the greatest design I have ever utilised. Seeing it in individual is a have to, it's beautiful! A lot of room for every little thing, toolless style, huge fans. Super outstanding! Take care of built into the top rated is way sturdy and tends to make carrying about easy. None Acquire it.

Comment:
Extremely significant case! Huge fans and the very best cable managment I have ever had from a case. Comes with four fans total and all are pretty darn fairly even with the dial set to max. compared to the 6 80mm fans in my old case.I have to say, I have held on to a older Chieftech case I have had for years, due to it becoming able to fit every little thing and present stable cooling. I wanted to have a lot more room in my case, and this 1 sure provides it. Total length Video cards fit with a lot of space to spare.The top rated media system works very effectively, dial does feel a bit low cost, but absolutely no complaint, tends to make like a lot much easier.On the plus side, my CPU temps have dropped five degress and my method temp 2 degrees. I can certainly just chalk that up to move airflow and a major exhaust fan. If you are seeking for a big case with plenty of cooling and expansion, for the cost its hard to not get this a single. Not to mention the cable managment is just amazing, the side panels are heaven sent. Not genuinely a con, but this is not a little case, I have a enormous desk so it fits beneath with ease, but with a smaller desk, it would def stick out on you.

Fantastic Airflow, and Space, the only two causes I purchased this Case to the Overview written by IT Hero. The Principal purpose that I returned this case was mainly because of the front panel. It resets my computer system most of the time, at times I dont even touch it and I place my DVD/CD drive on the 2nd bay and nevertheless resets. Possibly my front panel was really poor and worse than yours. So I invite you to TAP your front Panel or touch it, specially in the USB icons region. Please TAP it a couple of occasions or a lot of occasions and see if it resets your laptop or computer. I did it and it worked, I TAPPED the front panel quite a few times and 80 percent of the occasions it reseted my personal computer. If it reset your personal computer, you will almost certainly get angry just like me, if your nevertheless okay, then my respect for your selection. The significant con was just the front panel, google this challenge, and assume b4 buying this case. If your case has no issues cheers to you, but don\'t forget TAP your FRONT PANEL couple of times, specially on the USB location or the USB icons, just to test if it has no issues Almost forgot, THANKS NEWEGG your customer service is one of the finest ones that I have ever experienced.

list of pros: - Wonderful size - Cable Management is brilliant lots of tie down points - Toolless bays are awesome - LED shutoff is awesome - top rated element of the situation (handel) is nicely reinforced - Very good airflow quite few more than all fantastic case: - installing PSU was a small harder than expected (minus eggs)- threading in the spacers for the motherboard was a pain it needed much more force than the average particular person has and the holes on my board dont line up with the spacers (minus 1egg) other than the cons its a great situation i will inform other individuals about this case but these are minor difficulties so all round very good case

Comment:
Incredibly nice fan setup for the pricePlenty of connectorsBeautiful tooless design The turn on/off setup for the fans is proprietary and that indicates I'm stuck with sleeve bearing fans if I want to use itExtremely heavy but not unmanageable with the very powerful handles on top which do not feel flimsy in the leastNot a lot of cable storage space particularly if you get a fan to place on the bottomExpansion slot tooless setup feels kinda flimsy assume it is just me I would nevertheless extremely advise this situation for its cost effectiveness

Comment:
Extremely roomyGreat ventilationFans are coolInitially time builder, decided to use a roomier ATX-Mid tower and located this a single to be alot bigger than I anticipated. 14 inches amongst the PCI slots and the HDD cages is a bit overkill, but much more room under no circumstances hurts. Fan controller knob is wonderful (and entertaining to play with). None that I can believe of; everything appears to be operating just fine. I put the giant tower appropriate subsequent to me and it blows cool air in my face when idling.

Comment:
Knob onfront gets addicitng for adjusting fan speeds.Built in LED's with turn off alternative.Mesh to maintain out dust.ExpandabilitySimple of all installs. Cant disable bright power light swear I will go blind a single day from this. Of program u could just tweak the circuit a bit to turn off with the rest of the led's or replace with a much less effective bulb Purchased this situation so I wouldn't require a different for a lengthy time.Fits hyper 212+ cooler which was quite great.

Comment:
A lot of functions. Lets face it.. its a cool hunting situation. Coolermaster gets an "A" for the ergonomics on this situation. The wiring strategy is wonderful. The tough-drive cage is fast and simple to use. Its roomy roomy roomy (echo). The quality is incredibly (yes, I stated really) low cost. I've owned a vintage Coolermaster Aluminum case for over eight years, and quite a few other individuals due to the fact. This one particular is the least expensive create I've owned however. The metal is very flimsy, the mobo panel was warped, the thumbscrews are tight (because of misaligned holes), it has no speaker, the fan manage knob feels inferior, the light on/off button sticks, the reset button is recessed and tricky to access (and I've got tiny fingers), the aluminum like bezel under the controls is pulled up (poor adhesive), the energy led is blinding (seriously, like it produces a blue ora ring) I dont feel I would suggest it.. unless you are wanting "looks only". I bought a Antec 900 series for my son at the exact same time I bought this... and I wanted to trade him. I would have traded if his desk would accepted this honker of a case, but its too tall. I nevertheless like Coolermaster, but if your looking for excellent... hmm... go with some of their vintage aluminum stuff.

- Really spacious. A ton of actual estate to play with, producing it effortless to hold a tidy case.- Remarkable airflow. When fans are at complete speed, cool air is pouring out of the situation. Added fan spots offered.- Integrated fan controller, with LED on/off button. Capable to lower fan "hum" to close to silence, and can turn on/off the LED's. - Cable management is a dream. - Fan filtered all around. Can currently see what my old situation was pulling in. - Tool-cost-free style (enough mentioned).- Plenty of front panel connections ƒ - USB two., 1 - Firewire, 1 - eSATA, mic, headphone) - Price tag. But, you get what you pay for. I thought the price was a tiny steep, but now I believe differently. - Size. May well not fit in some areas. Undoubtedly a massive "mid-tower". May possibly make some want to populate all that true estate (myself included). I researched instances for weeks, and there is not sufficient I can say about this situation. It is the most strong, properly built, properly believed out situation I have owned. No rattles/vibrations (although I have only had it for a couple of weeks). Very great searching case. To me, genuine perfection. I wasn't a fan of LEDs, but the blue fan LEDs are subtle, a lot more like a glow (kinda growing on me). A quite worth-while acquire, in my opinion.Will supply future updates, as necessary.

Comment:
Outstanding situation. Really roomy and the bubble on the back side of the situation makes cable management considerably nicely.The HDD racks are also quite handy.Superb cooling from just the stock fans. none After the 2nd day the leading fan started creating this awful grinding noise but the moment I have my headset on I can't hear it so no biggieStill giving five stars because this was not a style flaw, just bad luck for me.
