COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:none

Pros:great lookingawesome cable management
Comment:
This is a great case. Way better than an Antec 900 in every aspect. in terms of cable management, there's lot of holes and space behind the MB. tool-less HD management. and lots of fan for cooling. Don't care about the noise because it is under the table and i usually have my headphones on.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons: - Heavy- Stands on feet, so it might be taller the your standard mid-size tower.- Hard drive cage a bit hard to operate when everything is in place.

Pros: - Silent case- Provides lots of airflow- Option to turn off the LED's- Incorporated fan controller for the default fans
Comment:
I was really impressed by the build quality of this case; the fan controls are very useful and it does not require any modifications; it has full black inside; paint quality is very good, no scratches. It also accepts high CPU coolers, even with the fan on the side door.Amazing case! Would definitely recommend!

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons: Top/bottom can be a pain to take off in order to add/replace top/bottom fansMotherboard hole wasn't big enough for me.

Pros: Large case, will fit any video cardVery large airflowVery nice black interiorGreat cable routingThe stepless fan controller is amazing, also turns on/off LEDs if you like to keep your pc on while you sleep.
Comment:
This is an amazing case that is big enough to house anything you want to throw at it. The entire thing is basically perforated so the cooling potential is incredible. With fans on low it makes it whisper quiet, and if you don't mind noise, fans on high give it amazing cooling.installing is made super simple with this case with all the toolless designs.Some longer power supplies (I have a Corsair HX1000) will block the ability to put a fan on the bottom, but with all the other fans, this is not a big deal.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons: The back top corner of the case is lifting a tiny bit due to me replacing all the fans with red LED fans and I guess I was a bit too rough with it. The indicator lights are really bright and show up as a blue flashlight on the ceiling, filters are a permanent feature and take a huge amount of time to remove and clean, and it also came with a few minor marks and a partially broken PCI expansion clip thing due to the stuff not properly secured. But nothing really worth complaining about, no one can see the marks and that's all that matters (I just did a thourough exam of the case which is why I noticed them).

Pros: Too many strenghs to mention all of them. I'm especially happy with the price. This has to be the best case out there for the price. Plenty of space for any video card and there's aproximately 7 inches from the CPU to the case side fan, more space if fan is taken out. The legs rotate for conveniance. Fan controller is adaptable to any fan (though not the LED switch). Very strong case and looks like a beast (it's what I call it anyway)
Comment:
I call it a beast. Plenty of space for any video card and there's aproximately 7 inches from the CPU to the case side fan, more space if fan is taken out. AMD Edition of this case is uglier and isn't worth the money, buy this one and buy 3 red LED 200mm fans if you want that red look, it's cheaper and looks better. It's what I did.

I wanted to build my own rig to do some heavy gaming on and this case is the one i choose. It has awesome cooling with all the fans and great circulation of air around the cpu cooler. The room in this case is amazing its so roomy that when i get wife aggro i just stick her in the case and she is happy with the leg room and she gets to cool off her cpu. This case rocks and wife approved Lol.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons: Masive amount of wires to run on account of front I/O panel and built in fan controller would have been better if wires were all black to match the rest of the case theme.

Pros: Dust filters, Airflow, pushed out side panel for cable management, durable textured powdercoat finish
Comment:
This is an exceptionally well constructed case, unfortunately for me it is sitting idly by in the box with a few components installed while I wait for AMD & ASUS to release the phenom ii x6 and Crosshair iv extreme.The included SSD bracket fastend to the 60GB OCZ turbo with ease I just wish it came with a few more.I'm also glad I opted for the Corsair HX750 as it allowed for the installation of a Xigmatek XLF-F1454 140mm fan in the bottom whereas the 1000 watt would have partially covered the bottom intake fan hole.All in all what more could you ask for in an all black case for $160

Very Professional
Comment:
The fans, air filters and case design is great. I love the wonderfull forethought and design of the hard drive bay. You can change the physical orientation and there is plenty of room for keeping them away from your video cards or other mother board equipment. This is a very versatile case with alot of ways to configure it and even though it is considered a medium case this probobly should be considered as a large case it is big. I wish the air filter had a smaller mesh size. I love the design and location of the USB, ESATA, fan swith and power switches. Look out though this case is not user friendly if you have any 3.5 drives especially any camera SMART card 5 in 1 or 7 in 1 readers. It only has one bay and it does not convert well to support it. Other than than this is a great case, tons of great cooling you can feel an air vortex circulating arround. Very quiet!

True Sniper! Great Case.
Comment:
I love this case. this case is huge compared to my mid tower case I had from old PC. The sniper is so big that my old case could fit in it with room to spare. But yes this case is a must have. Great air flow. Nice big led fans, can adjust fan speeds and turn off led if you please. My mother board was reaching near 50 degrees but with this case it's now at a steady 30 to 33 degrees. Oh and make sure your PSU has long enough cables to reach the motherboard.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:Nothing that springs to mind as a problem

Pros:Neat and tidy layoutGreat airflow possibilitiesDust filters
Comment:
This case is big. I wanted something big with dust filters, and was not disappointed. Slots for water cooling(although I have no intention of using them). Wires can be stored away neatly as their is space. A fan controller is a nice feature. Good quality construction and finish.

5 stars all the way!!!
Comment:
Great shipping even with a case. I live in Milwaukee and Tiger's warehouse is in Chicago..... It got here in a day even with a case.... that's impressive! Now to the case. It is a mid tower but it is as big as a full tower! Has a lot of room for upgrades. Fits all modern video cards including ATI's 5800 series and 5900 series with room to spare. Great cooling. HDD drive drawers are well made and not flimsy! Makes all my high end gear run really cool even when over clocked. If you don't like the side mesh and prefer a window CM makes one and you can order it for 9.00$ Bucks. Enough Fron USB's,Fire Wire, and Esata on the front for anyone! Fan control, light control, Dust filters, water cooling holes, 5.25 to 3.25 adapters, removable HDD cage, Wire management holes, Black interior, Everything is well made the list could go on and on! WTG Cooler Master!

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:Huge case but doesn't support E-ATXPowder coating the interior has made some fittings extremely tight

Pros:Great ventilationDust filters everywhereFan control (speed and LEDs)It's all blackLots of room
Comment:
I was stunned by the size of the case! It is a lot bigger then I expected. I used to own a HAF 932, but I never thought it would be as big. Great layout of everything. Great accessories box. Looks great.On the less fun side. Powder coating the interior has made it a real challenge to simply remove the side panels since the added layer made it a very tight fit. Don't know if it's just for my unit, but the Power button and Fan Speed control knob and LED button feel cheap. The add a lock feature on the side panel had to be bend back in place for me to be able to remove the panel...But overall it's an amazing case for sure, the positives are far more worth it then the negatives!!! PM and buy!

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:none

Pros:Dust fitersCable managementVentilation
Comment:
This is a great case, it has alot of nice features. It has dust filters on ALL inlets so the inside of the case is always dust free, excellent ventilation and cable management.I do have to mention that the side doors are difficult to open and close. Alot of force must be exerted to slide the doors out. However I can't say whether it is just for the one I recieved or an overall design issue.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:5.25 drive fastening system leaves the drive somewhat loose, requireing steadying when attaching cables or the use of additional screws. entire bottom of case must be removed to clean the bottom fan dust filter, i had some difficulty getting the 3.5 drives in the holders, does not come with a case speaker, shipping box could use more styrofoam for protection

Pros:great air cooling, fan control on top front of case, large cpu cooler towers fit with side fan in place, side covers come off easy with thumb screws, large built in handles make it easy to move,comes with 4 fans and option for 1 more on bottom of case, nice black exterior and interior, cool blue lights on top,side & front fans, dust filters on front and bottom fans, bottom mounted power supply, tool less fastening for 3.5 & 5.25 drives and daughter boards, large opening in mb back panel for attaching cpu cooler mounting plates
Comment:
This case has a lot of really good features at its price point and has available options like a side window if you dont want a side fan and mesh. The front fan dust filter is easy to remove for cleaning, the bottom dust filter not so easy as the entire bottom of the case must be removed. Case comes with adapters to mount solid state and floppy drives and a bag of nice black screws for fastening drives, mb, fans etc. You will want to use some to secure the 5.25 drives as the tool less mechanism leaves the drive loose. The daughter board fasteners work well once you are used to them but study the instructions as its a 2 step process. Nice thumbscrews make removing the side panels quick and easy. Four water cooling ports in back panel, 2 have rubber grommets in place, the other 2 require the center to be removed and rubber grommets are supplied if needed. This is a large mid tower case with plenty of room for long graphics cards and cpu towers. Mb back plate comes with 2 stand offs installed already, these are slightly longer but reduced in diamater at the end so that when the mb is set in place they fit into the mb holes and align the mb perfectly with all the other stand offs. The bulging sides allow wires to be stored/routed behind the mb panel and provide for better air flow. The structure around the front i/o panel seems a bit weak and the label marking the usb, esata ports, pwr and fan switch was lifting on my case. This may be one of the best cases at the price point but i'm deducting one star because of the label problem and the 5.25 drive fastening system as well as the difficulty in cleaning the bottom dust filter and lack of protection along the sides of the shipping box.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:Weaknesses? Er... uhm... what!?

Pros:Muchos awesomeness!
Comment:
Santa delivered this case a few days late, but it was well worth the wait. Although the Antec case, that this is replacing, is still a good case, the overall awesomeness of this case makes the comparison between the two look like night & day! How 'bout some reasons for why this case is so good? Okay, in no particular order:- An overall attention to detail, including many of the following,- complete interior painted black,- fan controller for up to 5 fans,- includes 3 large, nice blue lit 200mm fans & 1 120mm fan,- space in the bottom to mount either another 140mm, or a 120mm fan, to increase the incoming air,- foam rubber strips on which to mount the power supply, to cut down on vibration noise,- tool free design, allowing you to mount hard drives, optical drives and expansion cards without needing a screwdriver, all of which work VERY nicely!,- attractive mesh front and side, including dust filters,- easy to remove 5.25" expansion bay covers,- plenty of space for large video cards,- well placed handles on the top, although once loaded with parts, this case becomes rather heavy,- intelligently placed cutouts to allow for easier cable management,- flared out side panels, to allow for better cable management on the back side of the motherboard tray, and to mount a 200mm fan on the opposite side,- plenty of airflow, i.e. large fans and mesh panels, along with ample cable management allow plenty of air to move into, and out of this case.If I popped the side off this case and looked around, I could probably come up with a few more good points, but at the moment, the one thing that immediately comes to mind, is that although I have a TRUE CPU cooler mounted in this system, there was still a bit of room to spare, to allow keeping the 200mm fan on the left side panel. I was fully prepared to do without this side fan, because the TRUE is so large, and the case manual actually warns of using larger CPU heatsinks, so being able to keep that fan in this case was a pleasant surprise!The increased airflow of this case has decreased my i7 core temps by, on average, 3 degrees Celsius, and that's with the fans turned up, using the controller, to approximately 3/4 speed, which still leaves room for a bit more improvement, and yet this case is definitely quieter than my previous case!The only two nitpicky drawbacks to this case are:- doesn't support E-ATX sized motherboards, but most people probably won't be affected by that anyway,- although cable management is good, I had a bit of a hard time to efficiently stow the mass of cables that are attached to my Corsair TX-850 PSU. It's still doable, but takes a bit of planning, so people with power supplies that have less connectors, or modular power supplies, will have a relatively easy time stowing their unused cables.Anyway, this is easily THE BEST case I've ever had, or seen in person, and will likely be using this for the foreseeable future.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:Hard to open up the caseWiring of the fan controller

Pros:Carry handlesFan controllerPainted Black on the insideDust FiltersCan fit full length video cards
Comment:
This is an awesome case simply because it easy to pick it up and go to a LAN party or if your doing work in it. I wish more cases had carry handles like this one has. It is heavy because it is all steel but can take a beating if your lugging this to LAN parties.The fan controller is pretty cool but having on full speed is kinda loud so I just leaves it on half speed. Also having the option to turn off the LED on the fan is awesome but I like the lights its cool. Wish there was more colors tho.Overall defiantly recommend this case to anyone.

COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Computer Case
Cons:PriceLoud (when fans on high)Only one LED color blue

Pros:Strong airflowLots of roomFan ControlQuiet (when on low)Dust Filters
Comment:
Even with those few minor bad points this is one terrific case. I was torn between this one and the HAF 932 and it was the dust filters that really made the decision easier.The black ed comes with one extra 200mm fan (side), along with the sleek black inside painted and full 2.5 drive support for the same price.Airflow is great, lots of room, good cable management and powerful fans. These fans even though they say they are quite its very loud on high setting but on low setting its just about silent and for me is only 3c difference in temperature anyway.If you want even better cooling I would recommend picking up a few Noctua NF-P12 120mm, two of those on the side do a better cooling job on the video and CPU and still quiet.

Comment:
I wanted this case when I first saw this. I had the HAF 932, but the no dust filters was getting to be a pain.With an all black interior, it looks great. Came with the side 200mm Blue LED Fan.On slowest dial setting, the fans are very quite, still has good airflow. I like the ability to turn off the LED with a push of a button.There is plenty of room in the case to hide wiring.

Comment:
As the headline states, this case is the bomb! At this price you will not find a better case with plenty of room for full size graphics cards, plenty of bays, great ventilation, and how cool is it that you can hide the majority of your wires behind the motherboard panel! Get this case!
