Having looked at a few different case models I finally settled on the Cm Storm.I'm very happy with my choice.The handle design is a fantastic idea and does exactly as it should.The 4 usb slots on the front panel are of great convenience.Plenty of room inside for even the largest oftodays dispay adapters.Very good cable management means all the cables are tucked neatly away.When I saw 3 120mm cooling fans the first thing I thought of was oh the noise,but believe me they areso quite,my sky box whims louder.All in all a super case at a reasonable price.

You'd think it would be easy to find a case with all the features you want, without paying silly money, but I found it to be a remarkably difficult trial. This case ended all that.The CM Scout is sturdy, well-planned, and accommodates plenty of internal bits and pieces. I was originally using an ATI HD 5750 graphics card and there was tonnes of room to spare between that and the side panel. While I wouldn't go as far as to call the case future-proof it does a good job of making sure you won't need to buy a new case for a good long while. Since it's made by Coolermaster you can find bundle deals on certain websites, and I got mine with the Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W Modular PSU which gave me a quiet, versatile PSU at a small saving.The front panel has power and reset switches, four USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, mic in, audio out supporting HD Audio and AC'97, and a button for turning the red LEDs on and off. These LEDs are integrated into two of the three supplied fans. The first fan (140mm) is in the bottom front of the case and draws air in through a filter layer that extends across the full height and width of the case front. This is one of the lit fans, although to be honest you can't really see the lights through the black grille finish unless the room is dark. You can only see them in the case pictured because there is nothing else in it!The other lit fan (120mm) is mounted at the upper rear of the case by default; this one is set up to blow air out of the back panel. The last fan (140mm) is black and gently blows air out through the top of the case. The only real niggle with these fans, which someone already touched on, is that the power for the fan blades and LEDs is supplied by Molex connectors, which means no auto fan control. Powering the fans takes up three connectors which can be a nuisance for people with limited power lines. There are holes drilled for two additional 120mm fans on the acrylic side window. It's necessary to take both sides of the case off in order to find all the Molex sockets. Thankfully the case fans are fairly quiet and with the Silent Pro power supply fitted all I can hear when the computer is turned on is a quiet hum.The rear of the case has seven expansion slots, with seven normal covers supplied. These bays have handy little plastic latches that remove the need for screws with most peripherals. There's an accessory supplied called "StormGuard" which is a specially shaped expansion slot cover. This allows you to wind the cable of a cherished peripheral through holes so that it can't be removed from the vicinity of the computer. This would be great if the case actually locked shut, but it doesn't, so I do somewhat wonder what the point of that is. An actually useful bit they have included is the "Solid Bridge", a mounting bracket that allows you to mount a 1.8" or 2.5" drive inside one of the 3.5" bays. Talking of bays, there are five 5.25" bays, all of which can be front-loaded and one of which can be converted to 3.5". There are also five 3.5" bays (not counting any converted bay) which accept drives from the side - good news for people like myself who obsess over RAID arrays. The 5.25" bays have quick release latches on the opening side of the case, and the 3.5" bays are used with supplied plastic rails which clip to the sides of your drives.The mounting wall of the case where the motherboard goes has a nicely positioned hole in it which allows access to the CPU mount backplate - this is very helpful if you want to fit a fluid cooler like the Corsair CWCH50-1 because it can be tricky to fit properly. I fitted one of these, using the rear fan supplied with the case to draw air in through the cooler's radiator baffle. The CPU idles at 15 Celsius as a result, and the RAID array at about 30 Celsius, which is probably helped a great deal by the airflow that this spacious and uncluttered case design allows.Lastly, the handles. These nearly put me off buying the case as I have had my printer sat on top of my old one and become accustomed to having it close to hand. But it turns out they are incredibly useful! Especially when building the computer and setting up peripherals etc. All in all, very pleased so far. If any problems come up I will as always update my review.*** EDIT 27/07/2011 ***I have upgraded my graphics card to an Nvidia GTX285. This is a very long card and takes up almost the entire width of the case. Because the case has side-loading drive bays in the lower front quarter, only one of these cards can be fitted if you use a RAID array. If you do not need to use the lower drive bays you could possibly remove the cage and fit a second GTX to allow an SLI configuration.

Replaced my relatively old case with this one, and I am very pleased. The case itself has a solid build quality, very good (at least for what I am used to) cable management, and you don't need a screwdriver as everything clips into place without screws. I did however need a screwdriver to loosen the thumb screws on the back to start with.Only issue I had was with the location of the power supply, it's located at the bottom of the case. This meant the ATX12V cable from the power supply was not long enough to plug into the motherboard. This is not really a problem with the case, but something to keep in mind.
