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. Nonetheless,...
Cooler Master set out to create the ultimate LAN party computer case with the Scout and in many respects succeeded with this case. The Scout is relatively lightweight due to the Mid-Tower form factor they used, yet is very sturdy and has carrying handl...

Toolless expansion slot retainers slipped through QC, Fans somewhat noisy, Cable management not the best, No support for liquid cooling
The keywords that CM Storm chose for the Scout Gaming case are: Swift Intelligence - Secure Mobilization. The first mobilization mission this particular Scout had to undertake was to get from China to Washington DC alone, without the protection of 27 o...

Non removable front filter, Not much clearance for fandown mounted PSU, Small reset button
If there were any doubt in our mind that Cooler Master would not deliver another extraordinary case, it has been erased with the introduction of the Scout. We thoroughly enjoy both representatives from the CM Storm series, and await the release of the...
