I think you are too. Your not downgrading.. Your upgrading big time. But lets see.



Filled with goodies.



And two 120 fans at the top.. Question are they loud?





The wire management for the scout is great. The rear access to the back of the CPU for cooler changing is great.


This is a 140 mm fan and its quiet. Also the front fan is also silent and 140 mm.

I can see your delema but I have to say in my opinion you cant go wrong with the CM Scout.

I went to microcenter this morning, ready to pick up the case, and guess what? there was a fire there last night so the cleanup crew won't let anyone in today

Its the enemies plotting against you to keep you from your prize.. Darn commie owners trying to recover low product sales by getting the insurance company to give them a big fat check. Should be able to get the case now for 39.99 + tax. LOL. Sorry you didn't get your case man..

yh you right, the fans on the tempest are not loud but do make a humming of air sound.

They dont seem to intake that much air but there is more fans and all comes with the case. Either way my experience with the case, i don't like it so much any more. dull look + not as great air flow as advertised. also the cable management aint as good and you are forced to install psu facing up. the case is tacky and feels cheap. So many bad points man. You made me think, i will get the scout and be happy with its astonishing looks TY

Hopefully i will post some images when i set it up

I have to tell you abdidas, that you won't have any of the problems that you stated above with the Scout. I usually build with Lian Li and I love my Scout. Its anything but cheaply made. Actually in my mind its better than the Antec 900 black. And if you wanted to upgrade from the scout you will have to pay twice the money.. Like the antec 1200 or the CM Stacker.

I hope i will love it as much as you do. I will be sure to say my opinion when i get it on tuesday. In the mean time i dont wanna get over excited.

1. What do you think about this or the antec 902?

2. Will i be able to upgrade as i go on with this case. ( I hope graphics cards dont get bigger)

3. Is it possible to add to more red led side fans and connect them to the button that switches the leds off?

1. What do you think about this or the antec 902?
Both of these case have their good and bad side. the 902 is probably better wind machine and also dust collector. you should see my son's 900. You have to wipe the front every week.


2. Will i be able to upgrade as i go on with this case. ( I hope graphics cards dont get bigger)
I just got intel in today about the EVGA 285 fit with 1 mm to spare. Im not gonna lie this is a tight case. But they fit and a 4870 X 2 fits as long as the power connections are not on the very end. Then you have a problem.


3. Is it possible to add to more red led side fans and connect them to the button that switches the leds off?
Yes it is possible but its going to require that you buy the dual line CM fans. Otherwise your gonna have to add another switch on the back. The perfect place is right under the handle of the side panel. There is a pilot hole there already and I fit a cold cathode switch into there and it works great and its easy to get to.

1. IDK

2. You will be able to upgrade. Since the bays are sideways it actually has more room than some cases, as far as mid's go.

3. You could rewire it but it would be complicated. You would have to run new wires for the LED's. I really did like being able to turn the lights off when I used the stock fans (which suck btw) though.

Is it difficult to do this am a newb.
what exactly is the dual line cm fans. I went on the storm scout site and they recommend these: http://www.coolermaster.com/products...detail&id=6037
Dont know if they are dual line or not

Tohdman

No those aren't. Very nice fans though. I'm pretty sure the fans in the Scout are the only ones with a separate LED wire.
