Benchmark Reviews Says.

The sturdy, rubber-padded handle dominates the top of the Storm Trooper. Behind the handle is a meshed area covering the top of the case and providing exhaust airflow for the included 200mm top fan. The fan can be removed and replaced with a 2x120mm radiator. The front and top of the case are covered in a soft-touch, rubber-like material.

Benchmark Reviews also reports.

A giant illuminated power button with the Storm logo dominates the I/O panel at the top front of the case; below it are buttons for the built-in fan controller, which can control the lights of three fans and the speed of four fans. By pressing the "-" and "+" buttons, you can choose between six different fan speeds, with LEDs above the switches visually indicating the chosen speed. There are also power and hard drive activity LEDs, microphone and headphone jacks, a reset button and ESATA port, and four widely-spaced USB ports. The wide spacing of the USB ports will minimize the chance of "fat" USB devices interfering with adjacent ports. There is no FireWire (IEEE 1394) port, but this is falling out of use anyway and most users won't miss it. The two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports are connected to a cable terminating in a USB 3.0 header, which is only useful if you have a recent motherboard that has one of these headers. Surprisingly, Cooler Master does not provide a USB 3.0->USB 2.0 adapter cable, so if your motherboard doesn't have a USB 3.0 header, you won't be able to use these ports.

One odd thing is that Cooler Master doesn't supply a power light header for your motherboard's front panel connector; instead, the power LED gets its electricity from the same 4 pin Molex connector the fan controller does. While this works, it means you don't get a blinking power light when you put your computer to sleep.

SAVED AGAIN 2

[Neuromancer]

MMM red heads

the front has that classic cooler master style with the whole front being 5.25" bay covers. Are they all actually usuable? Was kind of hard to tell from the review.

If so thats going to open up some more options for vaser coolers

[Enigma8750]

Vaser Cooling? Looks like another Google Search for me .. I am only speculating because the only friend I have that knows the ins and outs of this case has signed a non disclosure contract. I would say that the front end is much like the cosmos where all the bays are usable but there will probably be block units that fit inside for SSD HDD use at the bottom. but the fans there and the ability to put drives on the floor of the unit really opens up some really cool possibilities for Water Cooling from the side. and out the front. that would be a really cool thing.

[Neuromancer]

LOL I meant Wasser not Vaser. Thats what I get for trying to Duetsch phonetically.

(I just finished watching that german youtube vid you posted and was referring to water cooling )

[Enigma8750]

Oh ya vol. Wasser coolink is goot. ya..

[Archer]

Oh ya vol. Wasser coolink is goot. ya..

Nein, es macht die kaput, wenn das Wasser austritt

Try to say this three times fast: panzerkampfwagon

EDIT: this is the CM: gepanzerten PC-Gehäuse

[Enigma8750]

Cooler Master is definitely going to sell the case first in Europe obviously.

I Can't wait to Mod this New Case.. Coming soon to a pair of Eyes near you !!!

[Rogue1266]

I can't wait until it comes out.... I really need to physically look at this case....

[Enigma8750]

I can't wait until it comes out.... I really need to physically look at this case....

Well I will be doing a mod and info thread here as soon as it is available to the general public. I know someone that might have one now but he signed a secrecy oath and he is an honorable man but I can't wait to see what he does with it. If in fact my speculations are correct. I guess all that hitching to them for an updated case came through.

[DireLeon2010]

I can't wait until it comes out.... I really need to physically look at this case....

Copy that. I hope they get it at Fry's on release date, then I can get a good look maybe even pick it up/look inside and out and decide if I want to upgrade or not. (horrible sentence)

Any word on the handle? Hope it's as sturdy as the Scout.

[Enigma8750]

I doubt that they would have made the the scout with a bicycle like reinforcement without offering the same on their newest Top Dog. I think that is going to be a very servicable handle IMHO.
