Who ever said there was a rivalry? I acknowledge that there are some good HAF and good Storm cases. I also acknowledge that some aren't as good as others. Personally, I like my HAF 912, but it is missing some nice features, like a painted interior, USB 3.0, and a side window. Although, for $50-60, it is actually more budget than enthusiast. My biggest complaint is that the HAF 912 Advanced is not available in the US, only in Asia. It ads painted interior, USB 3.0, LED lights on the fans, side window...
But for somebody who is on a pretty lean budget but wants a case that can house some powerful equipment and have great airflow, the HAF 912 is pretty hard to beat.
Personally, I like the way the Scout looks, but found out the wiring isn't great. I tried running the 8pin power connector for the CPU behind the motherboard, and I couldn't find but a tiny little hole the run it through, and only after some very crafty wiggling. Basically , it addresses most of my complaints with the HAF 912, is only a bit more expensive, but adds bad cable management to the problem list.
Really, I haven't worked with the Storm enforcer, but jsut from the pictures it looks to have better cable management opportunities.
