Cooler-Master has deployed the Storm Scout, a True LAN Gaming Chassis. Mobility, Security and 20 years of advanced technology converge in one rugged portable mid-tower chassis. Every Scout is engineered with Storm Tactics: a dedicated focus on Strength, Security and Control. The Scout blends into the darkness with a menacing all black interior showcasing your internal hardware.

An automotive tinted side window with dual fan exhaust brings efficient cooling with subtle transparency. A single button triggers stealth mode deactivating cooling fan LEDs. This covert outlook is complimented by innovative internal designs allowing swapping CPU coolers without motherboard removal. Inside, intelligent cable management maximizes space while supporting internal 2.5" and 1.8" SSD bays. On top, a rugged, steel reinforced handle allows the Scout to be easily wielded in a single hand.
Expansion Slots Standard x 7, Special x 1
Power Supply Standard ATX PS2 (optional)

GPU Specs. 10.5 inches of space from back of case to Drive Bays.

Recent Intel has determined that the 4870,
4870x2,
5770,
5850,
5870,
5890
with a little bending or cutting and the GTX 285

will fit in this case

CPU Cooler Specifications

With 2 Side Panel Fans Installed. 120x120x25
(146 mm.) CPU to Top Side Panel Fan Distance.

With Only the Bottom Side Fan installed
171 mm.

CPU to Side Panel Distance NO Fan installed on the Top of the Side Panel

Heat-sink Dimensions 120 x 120 x 158mm to 169mm is the optimum size range for this case.

Top of the case to the Bottom or Vertical dimensions of the case should not exceed 120mm.
Side to side dimensions 140 mm.

Example of too big is the Cooler Master V10 (L) 236.5 x (W) 129.6 x (H) 161.3 mm
Its not the height or the width of this cooler but it is 10 mm too tall from top to bottom.

Scout Info.
Fan Specs.

Cooler Master High Performance 120MM R4 Series RED LED Case Fan - Brand New $9.99
[R4-L2R-20CR-GP]

Overview
R4 series fans offer a unity of maximum rotational speed and optimum airflow. Using a unique long-life sleeve bearing fan, the R4 series offers long life rating of 50,000 hours. R4 series fans perform at a maximum of 90CFM at 2000RPM. These R4 series are available in red, green, blue LED and dark smoke (no LED).

"Front: 140mm Red LED Fan x 1; 60 CFM; 30,000 hrs life expectancy (included)"
"Rear: 120mm Red LED Fan x 1; 44 CFM; 35,000 hrs life expectancy (included)"

Please remember that Sleeve bearings are only good for the vertical position. They wear prematurely in any other position. That why blowhole or top case fans are usually ball bearing.

Included Accessory 1.8 or 2.5 to 3.5 inch mounting bracket for SSD or HDD
UPC Code 884102004537

The Side vent window of the Storm Scout is such a nice shape and tint is very nice.. Molded in color.

Be advised. Clean this window with a one teaspoon of Dawn dish washing liquid and water mixture in a spray bottle. Any other cleaners like Windex or ammonia type additives can dull the finish of this window.

The Interior of the Storm Scout is impeccably thought out. Nothing was overlooked. There are holes for wires. An opening for the CPU Back Plate and tie down points for wire management. Recent Intel has determined that the 4870x2 and the GTX 285 will fit in this case.

Adding a Hard Drive could not be any easier. The drives face forward for easy install. Just press in the included drive brackets and slide the drive in till it clicks. Its locked in and ready to go in seconds.

Unlike the Antec 900. This case includes a wire management system that is second to none.
Just Look at the Steel Skeleton on this case handle.. This Case is no Plastic Sissy.

Building Basics
Wire Management Secrets

So Easy A Caveman Could Do It.

It would be a good Idea to purchase one of these when you are planning your build, Just in Case.
Run your CPU wire under the motherboard before installing the board. It is really a neat trick and makes an Even Neater Build.

Kev_b says that making a cutout on your top Blow Hole fan, can cut wind resistance and allow the fan to run more efficiently.

A Martini Glass was used as a Template for these holes.

K10:


Remove front panel.
disconnect all wiring that goes to the top panel.
Remove optical drive and anything in the 5.25" bays. Remove two front screws of top panel (in the top corners behind front panel).
Remove the top fan and the remaining two screws in the rear top of the top panel.
Reaching in through the 5.25" bay gently pull some slack in the wiring. This may require some force, just use caution.
When you have enough slack, start to pull up on the top panel.
At first it will seem like it's still connected, but it is not. Firm and gentle force will cause it come away from the case. Snake out the wiring and voila!
You have done it!
See... I knew you could do it!

Warning... The side window is made of perspex or Plexiglas as we call it here in the States. This material will fade or frost over if you use Windex or any other ammonia based Cleaners on it.

Ha Bill Owen just made a nice pop rivet guide, wasn't someone just asking about that?

Tricks and Cool Tips

Baldo 1013 used a part off an old VCR to cover the hard drives.

Seven9st Surfer: Builds a false floor in his Scout.

Seven9st Surfer: Shows how to get those fans connected the right way.

I was wondering about the terminal block mods I had seen before in this thread. After watching tjharlow's videos on youtube, I went out to Home Depot to get supplies, and I finished in like an hour. I've got all 3 fans from the case running off the block, and it works great! It was easier than I though. The rest of the cables are still a mess because I'm waiting till my sleeving gets here, then the whole thing will be done right. [/QUOTE]

Let look at the three different reasons that noise occurs.

1. Vibration from the mechanism.
2. Air flow itself.
3. Vents from the front plastic itself can cause turbulence wind noise.[/QUOTE]

Construction still going .. Please be patient.

You FRIKIN ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoodInk]

Checking in boss.

[Neuromancer]

Nice mods.

Case looks to be exactly like my Rosewill Challenger case I picked up off newegg for $35 shipped a while back. (way too small for my tastes).

Minus the handles on top and side panel window (2x120mm side panel fans instead)


How did the guy with the Corsair TX hide his PSU wires? I tried managing mine by pulling them around to the drive bay and it still looks like crap.

[EnJoY]

Nice cases and mods. Although, not a huge fan of CM cases in general. I miss the old ATC's.
