The CM Storm Scout 2 is definitely a step up from the original in almost every way possible. The front is more rounded, and while still an aggressive looking unit, it should be pleasing to anyone who sees it. I like that Cooler Master covered the I/O ...

The CM Storm Scout II Advanced leaves us with mixed feelings. The original from 2009 was above-average at the time, and while Cooler Master implemented a number of improvements, the execution isn't flawless this time around. Had the Scout II come out in...
Cooler Master have delivered one fantastic product with the Scout II Advanced, and while its only seen minor revisions over the previous Scout II its gone a long way to addressing some of the minor issues that people had with the last edition. I personall...
Well built chassis, Plenty of internal space for mid-tower, Can fit 9 x 120mm fans, Sturdy handle design
Only 1 x 120mm fan included, Competition is high in this sector, Kitguru Says: We really like this case but it just needs to have a little more to justify the price tag, Rating: 8.0, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, Share, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Stumbleupon,
The CM Storm Scout II builds on the heritage and design ethic of the original chassis, which has proven a big seller for the company since it was launched.Cooler Master has taken the original design and improved various areas. As expected, the company hav...
Stylish, sleek and good looking, Good quality materials, Very good cable management features
Only a single cooling fan, Can accommodate just two SSDs, Price should be lower
We’ve been impressed with CM Storm’s previous case creations - Trooper and Enforcer but how does the Scout 2 fare?Being the 2nd generation of CM Storm’s Scout chassis we were interested to see what alterations would be made and to ascertain if this ne...
CM Storm clearly have made a big effort on updating the Scout and the Scout 2 is definitely a great effort, while I'm not so sure its going to swing fans of the original to upgrade to the new edition, it may be enough to tempt more people over to the Scou...
