Being a huge supporter of Cooler Master and their fantastic parts, I was stoked to try out the CM Storm Scout case. It would mean that I would have to strip my components of my glorious Cooler Master CM690 for a few days. They say separation is good...

The Cooler Master Storm (CM Storm) Scout is an affordable offering for the gamer brand. It costs around $70 US Dollars less than the CM Storm Sniper, so you can not expect to find all the innovation of the larger offering within the Scout....
