The editors didn't like
Somewhat Loud At High RPM
A little heavy for a case (approx 24 pounds alone)
Might be out of some peoples budgets
Loud fans at stock speed
No dust filters
Larger PSUs may pose issue
No removable motherboard tray (VERY minimal issue)
Uhhh….it's not free
Fan not preinstalled at bottom
StormGuard PCI slot made of very flexible aluminum
Bends easily
Hard to really work out a good mod game plan with so much already done
Fan mount on the bottom is a real pain to deal with
Removing the top and bottom panel is not an easy task with risk of breaking tabs
Dust filters not easily removable
Strange connector choices on case fans.
Toolless expansion slots felt insecure
Some fan vibration audible at high setting
Fan noise at high setting is loud
Price
No front panel cover
May have issue with large PSUs
No side panel fans are included
2-pin plugs on the fan controller

Bottom fan mount broke very easily
Fans can be very loud
Price ($179.99)
Open design may lead to a lot of dust
Some of the smaller plastic parts are rather flimsy
Rather expensive
Side panel fan not included
Very tiny reset button
Clips to hold expansion cards in placed wont manage large and heavy cards
Fans are quite loud on fastest setting
Screwless system for optical drives does not hold perfectly
Many openings in the case do not have dust filters
Erfreuerlicherweise hat man sich getraut was spezielles für einen ausgesuchten Käuferkreis herzustellen, ohne Rücksicht auf die breite Masse der Konsumenten. Speziell Gamer, Hardwarefreaks und Overclocker werden mit diesem Produkt Ihre Freude haben. Ho...
Fancontroller ohne Automatikfunktion, Netzteilblende teilweise scharfkantig, Zu einem fairen Preis von 149,Euro können Sie das Gehäuse direkt bei Caseking.de kaufen.
Wie eingangs erwähnt ist dieses Gehäuse das Ergebnis des CM Storm Konsortiums, dem u.a. auch Caseking beiwohnt. Die Idee ein spezielles Gehäuse von Gamer für Gamer zu entwickeln ist mit dem CM Storm Sniper Midi-Tower voll aufgegangen. Das Design mit s...
Mit CM Storm hat Coolermaster die Spezialisierung auf Gamer-Cases gewagt, und mit dem Sniper ist CM-Storm Division ein wirklich tolles Gesellenstück gelungen. Sie liefern ein auf Gamer abgestimmtes Case ab, welches jedoch nicht wie seine Mitbewerber...
Die halbe MieteObwohl das Storm Sniper einige geniale Ideen bietet, kann es leider nicht in jedem Aspekt überzeugen. Beispielsweise beim überdimensionierten Front-Lüfter. Dieser dient mehr der Optik, allerdings nicht so sehr der Kühlung. Zwar kann er s...
Abstract: De fabrikanten van behuizingen introduceren aan de lopende band interessante nieuwe modellen. Ook de afgelopen tijd bereikten heel wat modellen ons lab. Nu maken we de balans op: wat vinden we van de nieuwe kasten en welke moet je écht op je short list...
Rekommenderas, God kvalitet, Gedigen konstruktion, God kylning, Möjligt att låsa fast kablage, Bra utbud av främre I/Oportar
Ett onödigt fläktgaller
CM Storm Sniper känns som en utveckling i rätt riktning från 932 HAF. Även om det inte finns något uttalat släktskap mellan modellerna är det svårt att inte se likheterna. Sniper säljs ju inte under märket Cooler Master utan har hamnat under det nya v...
CM Storm Sniper-kotelo jätti jälkeensä itsestään varsin hyvän maun. Kotelo tarjoaa sopivasti tilaa isoillekin näytönohjaimille ja ilmavirtaukset ovat taatusti kunnossa isojen tuulettimien ansiosta sekä suuren v...
Gode termiske egenskaper, Lakkert innside, Mange kontakter i funksjonspanelet, Hastighetsregulering på alle vifter, Belysning kan slås av
AMDbakplater passer ikke i hovedkortbrettets hull
Cooler Master Storm Sniper bærer etter vår mening en helt greit design, med en rekke hendige funksjoner. Kontrollpanelet i front gir deg tilgang på en rekke kontakter og gode funksjoner. Vi liker også en relativt god implementering av...
Støvfiltre, Blæserstyring, Lydløst, Mulighed for at slå blåt lys fra, Design, Mulighed for at låse tastatur og mus fast, Hul til kølerskiftning
Kablemanagement muligheder, Design af ekspansion slots, Ikke plads nok til en stor strømforsygning, Ingen glasrude til gamere
Kabinettet i fuldt perspektiv er en flot sag, som kun kan anbefales folk som elsker et pænt design. Kabinettet er enkelt og utroligt handy at bære rundt på til lanparties. Muligheder for et flot kablemanagement i kabinettet er dog utroligt...
Lad os lige tage plusserne og minusserne igen, inden jeg begiver mig ud i pointgivningens kunst...Hvad er godt og hvad er skidt ved kabinettet? + Super gennemtænkt mht. airflow.+ Utrolig brugervenligt mht. installation af hardware.+ Mange anven...
