Welp.....I picked up my ST case a few months ago....and last night I finally had time to install some hardware! This is my very first ( just me ) build ). I looked at about 80+ cases at fry's ( usually order everything from Newegg and so forth ).....but I wanted to see first hand exactly what these cases were like up close and personal......and I like the Storm trooper the best. There were other cases that were bigger and ran a close 2nd.....but something about the overall fit-n-finish of this case and the layout.......just had to get it.

Parts list of what I have installed :
Seasonic Platinum 1000w PSU
Asus DVD burner
Lightscribe Blu-ray burner
3 X 640GB Cav Blacks WD HDD's
**** Asrock Extreme 7 ( not installed yet )

On it's way or being ordered :
Intel 2600K
2X4GB G-skill ram
CPU cooler ( haven't made up my mind on which one yet )
Fan controller ( Not sure which one I'm going with just yet )
Not sure on a sound card yet....want to see what the onboard sounds like first
1 - GTX 670 ( will add a 2nd one in the winter )

Think that about sums it up. Was going to build all of this into my Caselabs TH10 , but I don't have the room for this sucker at my new place....so unfortunately I may have to sell it. Hence why I got the Storm trooper case.

Little advice?

Guys I just figured out how to pop the big top cover off of this case and checking it out I have the big single 200mm CM fan that came with this case. There are two pretty big gaps on both side of the fan ( about 2" )....seems pretty inefficient? Thinking of putting a couple good quality 120mm fans in there instead? I am going to install a couple on the side cover as well as it's built for them anyways. My case seems a little different than a lot of them here in this thread. Man....I love this case!

clubber_lang,

I went for (2) 140 mm CM BladeMaster fans instead of the single 200 mm top fan for the same reasons you stated. They fit perfect with no gaps and a net increase in CFM. I run them controlled by the trooper's fan controller on Max with very little noise.

The beauty of this case is that it is so flexible when it comes to components. You can go simple or take your build to the max like many have done.

The photo shows part of the top 140 mm fans. I have since added a CM PWM puller fan on the Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler and a G. Skill turbulence II ram cooler fan that are not shown. The Push-Pull seems to help during higher loads (-4 degrees C), but no difference while idling.

I also have two 120mm instead of one 200mm

Thanks for the info and the pics guys. So Evilsplashy , you used the 120mm fans , which I was thinking that what would fit....but Cayuga , you installed 140mm fans and they fit well? It looks like they did but I don't have a clear shot to look at them. But now that I think about it , when I popped the top off it looked like I had plenty of options there ( as in...a lot of holes) so I guess the case will accept both I take it?
