CM Storm Trooper - how to remove tool tray

nlel1975 · 24 Jan 2013 at 13:40

I have been looking in the instructions for my new Storm Trooper case which arrived this morning.

I am trying to undo the tool tray but don't have a screw driver small enough to fit the screw head and I don't want to muck up the screw head.

Can anyone who has this case advise what size screwdriver I need.

Doh! Now sorted, was looking at the wrong screws. Its the black ones you remove and I have a screwdriver of the right size.

I was looking at the tiny silver screws at first.

Yup found a video on Youtube that helped me greatly. Have it all installed just got to connect up the fans etc.

I have to say this is the hardest case to install that I have ever come across.

EDIT: Is the front meant to light up Red or does it only do that when you move the fans to the front?

There should be two red LED fans in the front of the chassis. If they are not there for whatever reason, then there will be no red light from the front.

No there are none at the front, I think what a lot of people do is remove the two from the side and put them at the front.

The side ones light up RED.

The OcUK product page states that there are 2x 120MM red LED fans in the front of the chassis, and the picture shows it too, thats what I was going on.

It might depend on where you buy it from I guess, or maybe CM Storm changed where they put the fans as standard.

Either way I would put them in the front rather than the side. Better airflow through the whole chassis.
