(More customer reviews)This case is hot off the new Cooler Master Storm line. I ordered it in anticipation of putting together a new $2k gaming rig. It has several features that make it worth the price:
-3 built in fans (front intake, top, and rear)
-Factory lighting on each fan (standard is red, blue is optional)
-Front panel ports: 4 USB 2.0, 1 eSata, 1 headphone & mic, kill switch for fan lights (stealth mode)
-Handle (sturdy for transporting a loaded rig)
-Mounts for two additional fans on the left panel for increased airflow
-Excellent cable management out of the box (tucked out of the way giving you room to work)
-Easy install screwless rails for your HDDs
-Extremely easy install of optical drives (also screwless)
-Screwless install of expansion cards
-PSU mounts on the bottom, giving you space for a large/custom chipset fan
Those are just the features I can think of right now. It also came with a handy little graphic to assist with mounting your mobo according to the correct form factor.
My only issue is that once I installed two GeForce GTX 285 cards (this card is double wide requiring two slots on the back panel), there is very little room left to access ports on the bottom of the mobo. That has nothing to do with the case design - but it is something you'll run into if you're installing twin double-wide graphics cards. They fit well but with little room to spare.
I don't particularly like the square front panel power button as it tends to get stuck on a corner rather than smoothly sliding up and down like a round power button - but this has not caused any problems - you just have to press it so it comes back up.
All in all, it's a great case and very well thought out. As a gamer, having the headphone & mic ports on the front panel is awesome. I can plug in my gaming headset with ease without having to mess with my HD audio 5.1 channel setup connected to the mobo.
I highly recommend this case so far - I've only had it for about a month, but as I said, it just came out. If I run into any problems specific to the case, I'll update my review. I doubt I'll need to though - this is a great fortress for my newest rig.
