New Case

Luke_Bowman · 15 Dec 2010 at 20:11

I am wanting a new case for better cooling. My current one is a decent size for my hardware but it only has 2 120mm fans and 1 80mm fan so the cooling is poor.

I am considering buying the Coolermaster Storm Scout Gaming Case but i am not sure. Can anyone give me a positive opinion on this case or recommend another for a similar price?

Agreed on the 690 II, recently got one myself and I love it

Agree on the 690 11 also if you look down the page there is a case subforum.

Are you on a budget? if your not id go for the haf x it has exellent cooling and it is a big case for future upgrades...

I've personally just bought the Storm Scout when it was £54.99, but still waiting for it to arrive... I've read good reviews on the airflow and the state of the standard fans, plus it has a window if you're into keeping the case tidy and looking nice inside.

I have started building my Scout and I have found I can route the cables quite well but my motherboard doesn't help by sticking the ATX power socket in the middle. A modular PSU helps keep things in line too.

Unfortunately I can't finish it until my Fenrir Evo arrives. Ordered it yesterday afternoon but it hasn't been posted yet. I will post some pics when it is all done.

Stulids recommendation is a great one if you want better cable management and need to put a long graphics card in there. I went for the Scout as it has been on my wish list for ages (I love the look of it) and it will fit in my desk cubby, whereas the 690-II is a bit longer and would have overhung the shelf too much.
