Its epic, End.If only it was that easy! Lets try and start from the top then, the handle on the roof of the case is not only very sturdy and secure but it also has a nice rubbery feel top with soft rubber fins somewhat similar to a mountain bike handle ba...
Impressed now ? Really this is an astonishing case. Looking pretty ordinary at first glance, though when you cloesly approach this case you will start to stare. The attention to detail is so high. But this not only on the outside. The innards have bee...
There's a lot to like about the CM Storm Trooper, and it’s good to see CM Storm really giving it a go in the case market. It’s got plenty of useful features, such as its carry handle, fan controller and hidden storage box, and it looked distinctive eno...

Cooler Master has created a big line-up of cases over the years. From time to time there are some which stick out and tend to become big milestones. Such cases are the Cosmos or the HAF series, which still tend to turn heads long after release - proof ...
The Cooler Master Storm Trooper has several features that a top quality chassis should have, and it is apparent that time and effort has been put into designing a chassis that will appeal to not only the masses but to the enthusiasts and gamers as well...
Oh hey now, initially when I heard about the CM Storm Trooper I figured it would be a run of the mill full-tower chassis, like the many we already have seen. Fact is, features and innovation wise this chassis blows me of my socks as its very original. I t...
