Whats with the name? The name was chosen as a tribute to my two most influential games. The first one is Command & Conquer: Red Alert on PC (yes the 90's version). It was the first PC game I remember enjoying and it had a big impact on me. I would play the game all day when I was 7 or 8 on my Gateway desktop. The thing probly only had 128mb of RAM and dial up
. The second game is Mass Effect on X360, this is where the SR1 came from (the name of Shepard's ship is the Normandy SR1). I love this game due to the great story, the immersive environment, and the many different paths that one can take.Current Status:

You know, this really could be the Scout II. The design flows so well. I'm just really loving that look of that. I wish I had the skills/tools to do that exact mod to my Scout!

Alright folks, this mod is effectively on hold for at least a very long time. Lugging this 75 pound beast back and forth between college and home was becoming too big of a hassle. I love this computer very much as it was my first mod, but I have sold all of the components except one of the 6950s, and will be moving the an itx platform now, as well as intel I plan to make a much more professional worklog with better pictures etc. for the next round. Thanks to all those who followed, I really appreciate the support, hopefully my next mod will be bigger (smaller?) and better than ever!
Hey everyone!
I am a new member here. I have been looking at these forums for a while but just recently decided to join, here is my first major contribution! I have had my Cooler Master Storm Scout for a about 6 months now, and I love it! I had already done some modding to it, such as moving the hard drive cage over to accomodate the beasty 6950. I have also recently become interested in doing a full custom watercooling setup in my rig. One problem: I dont think a few 120.1 radiators are gonna work to cool my 955 and that 6950! Sooo, with the help of my brother, my dad's tool collection, and some dumb luck, I will attempt to mod the Scout in order to accomodate a 360mm radiator. Suggestions are welcome, this is my first mod project.
I know my hardware may not be the epitome of performance, but cut me a break; im a 20 year old college student 
. For the specs of my rig, you can check out my sig. In advance, I apologize for the subpar picture quality, they have so far been taken with my droid incredible and my not so steady hand. In the words of Captain Tenneal of MXC "Geeeet it on!" 
Hmmm...will they fit? We shall see!
The disassembly is complete, dremeltime!

Go for the rivets man 
i might steal that idea of cutting the plastic where the fan is. Its kind of stupid to have 2 fan grills on one fan. Don't know why the would do that.
