Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker Chassis

[News Team]

Sometimes it's tough to search for that perfect chassis. Whether you are looking for design or functionality, finding the perfect case poses a number of challenges. We have the opportunity today to take a look at the new Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker Chassis to see how close it comes to that "Holy Grail" of balancing looks and usefulness. We must say, the unique touches, in both form and functionality, that Cooler Master has added into the Stryker really caught our attention. As we move further into this review you will see why. Before we delve deeper into the versatility of this chassis we will talk a little about Cooler Master's design aesthetic with the Stryker Chassis.

Great review of a damn fine chassis thanks

It's Stryking to look at,.......

CM Cases are usually made of everything we want in a case. They provide a lot of options and versatility in their products.
They function properly and keep your precious components nice and cool.
They look great too.
This case is no exception either.

This was a good read, Kenny.

Looks good Kenny. excellent job with the build.

Excellent review, Kenny, and what a great case. This may be my next full tower to replace my Storm Enforcer (need something I can mount my Asetek 570LX in for my 1100T rig), although I would probably get the Trooper because I like black. They are essentially identical, right?

Bravo Kenny, I'm kinda like this case, price is good for a steel case.
Btw, did your Apogee XT has a cold? Because I saw snot rags hanging

Thanks everyone! This was really a awesome case to work with and the options for this case is really worth the money.

Sam, looking at the pics of the Trooper is looks like the same, except the trooper doesn't have the side panel window.
We haven't reviewed the Trooper so I can't say for sure if they are identical, but they look to be pretty close in design. I wouldn't be surprised if it was with small minor differences.

Hahahahaha.... Thanks Tony, It did, it was dripping fluid all over the place. I pulled this from another rig I had, so I used the snot rags to keep the water from dripping out... lolz

Thanks, Kenny. I think they are pretty much the same too, and I could order a windowed panel for the trooper for about $20. Any other suggestions for a reasonably priced full tower I can mount my Asetek 570LX in? Would prefer the ability to do push/pull fans, but not absolutely necessary.

The Trooper is a good choice esp for the price point. If you are looking at other brands the NZXT 810 you already have is a good deal, But I don't think you want two identical cases..
I say the Trooper would be nice, but unable to do push/pull at the top..

Kenny, that was a stellar review. The case is great and priced right at $160. Looks awsome with the ROG board too.

Thanks Jimbo!

Kenny, we reviewed the Trooper when it was first released, Duff did the review.

[Solara2xb]

We did?? Let me look back, are you its the same trooper we are talking about?

This is the one I am talking about.
CM Storm Trooper - Cooler Master

Edit: Stan you are right.. We did - Sorry, my apologies, We did review this case.

Sam This will be a great case, based on Duff's review they seem to be very similair if not the same.
