Cooler Master Storm Sniper Review

Quote:



Cooler Master is one of those companies that does not sit back on their laurels. They are constantly looking to innovate and come up with something new for the enthusiasts out there. As I am writing this review, they have probably moved on from this case and are making plans for their next offering. The last case we reviewed, HAF 932, was an instant hit with us as it featured large silent fans moving a ton of air, cut-outs for passing water cooling tubes through and tool-less installation.
Cooler Master Storm Sniper takes all of these great features from HAF 932 while improving on some of the nuisances that we had with it. Sniper gives the enthusiasts even more bang for buck.
Lets look at the Sniper before going any further.




Sniper is a part of the Storm Series by Cooler Master. CM Storm is co-developed with some of the most prolific names in the professional gaming industry including Team Fnatic, SK-Gaming, Mousesports and the Kode5 organization.
Cooler Master will be putting what they like to call “Storm Tactics” into each and every product of this line.
Storm Tactics are a combination of strength, security and control. We will later discover how Sniper accomplishes these tactics.

About Cooler Master
Cooler Master was founded in 1992 with the goal of providing high quality thermal solutions. By providing high quality products over the years, Cooler Master is one of the best known and respected names in the industry today. Since its formation, Cooler Master has also provided the PC enthusiast community with CPU coolers, power supplies, PC cases, water cooling components, case fans and many other accessories. They are one of the most talked about manufacturers in the PC do-it-yourself community forums today . Cooler Master products are recommended to anybody seeking to build a new system.


is there a Sniper club here ?

More like Antec 900 killer. It's very spacious for a mid-tower (believe it or not) and it can hold its own against the 1200.

Looks like an air-purifier you stick in the corner of the room.
