Cooler Master Storm Trooper

Just watched a video on this case(not buying) and wondering what you guys think of the case. I have to say I kinda like it a lot, some nice options in there as well. I'm guessing around the same price as the haf x no doubt

Tis okay, I still prefer the 650D.

I like it.

My initial reaction was neutral due to the overall appearance but after looking at in detail and watching the Hardware Canucks video I am now dreaming of an i5 system in that case with a H100 cooler.

I would quite like it as a replacement for my Scout (if I had money to burn) just for the improved air flow and the removable dust filters

It’s the case my CM90 II wants to be when it grows up, I love it, shame about the lack of tool less features though.

What time is it..?

NO, it's not Chico Time.

ITS UPGRADE TIME

I really like the look of this case, it's my favorite design yet from Coolermaster.

Hmm, was expecting something based on the Star Wars Storm Trooper

I too, was dissapointed

Plastic looking.

It looks like its been designed by Land Rover, couldn't live with it personally but seen a heck of a lot worse.

Just noticed it has slipped onto the OCuk shop for £130, which is what I expected.

The limitation of only a 2.5" hot swap bay seems a very strange choice by coolermaster - especially when it wasn't some sort of space limitation that led them to this decision.

For £130 pounds it doesnt seem too bad. The haf x is £8 more, overall which would you choose?

Trooper, but I dislike the looks of the HAF series,

but I would wait for the new Cosmos II and so long as the price point isnt over £200 - £250 get that

Any word on that for pre order OcUK???

Any update on this for UK release (OCUK store).

Wow, this is a surprisingly nice case. I don't need a new case any time soon, but this is definitely one of the nicer ones I've seen as of late.
