I hope this okay to post, if not will either edit or let a Moderator delete it. =D

I found this Youtube video of the Cooler Master Scout 2. It is in Chinese, I believe showing different angles of the case and what looks to be like a 7950-7970, I think.

Here are some interesting shots from the video:

There is a 120mm fan mount on the inside of the removable hard drive cage.

Not sure what video card that is (it has 8 and a 6 pin power) but it looks like full length video cards can be installed without removing the cage.

There is another 120mm fan mount in the base (can't see a filter for it though). There are clips for a filter similar to the one over the power supply grill.

The top grill is removable and displays easy access for mounting a 240 rad.

The lower hard drive cage holds 3 drives (looked like 2 from prior pics).

Provided more space up top so you can now fit a rad above the motherboard.
Added USB 3.0 to the front panel (not sure if there is an internal header).
Removable hard drive cage allows for extended length video cards (this is a biggie)
Hard to tell how many PCI slots there are, hopefully 8 this time (although if they are using the HAF 912 internal frame as speculated then it will only be 7).
Going to again be the best portable case with a handle under $100 on the market.
I am looking forward to replacing my trusty Scout with the new model when it comes out.

I can add that the overall dimensions of Scout 2 aren't much larger than Scout 1. Unfortunately to keep size manageable it doesn't have 8 PCI slots. Scout 2 doesn't use Scout 1's body, and it doesn't use HAF 912's body.

The good news is that Scout 2 will be a hard launch, and Tuesday it will be available. As an added bonus we will test launch two different colors at launch date.

You tease!!! What colors!!!

Great find! +Rep

Can already know how to get 2 x 240mm rad in there and still have all the 5.25" bays plus a HDD cage biggrin.gif

Did you notice they have fan wire holes for the top?

I was able to handle this at PAX, but they didn't let me take any pictures.

The rep said there is standard 15mm spacing for a front mounted radiator as well. You should be able to do a 240 on top and a 280 in the front. Quite the performer for being so (relatively) small.

So are you saying there are 140mm fans in the front?
You could relocate the bottom HDD cage to the top, and put the rad in the bottom. Should be an easy mod.

Not sure how they managed to fit 2 140's up front. You can clearly see two fans from their frames. Possibly because the Scout 2 has 1 less 5.25 external bay than the Scout 1.

Somehow I still find the Scout 2 ugly. Hopefully my perception changed once it gets released. I would have preferred a standing double front side mounted 240 radiators (much like the picture below but the rad is placed vertically) with the (2) front intake fans feeding coolder air. I would also have preferred besides the (3) full drive bays if they added (1) 3" drive bay.

I agree on the 3" bay or they could do what the did for some of their other cases and have a 5.25" bay cover with a 3.5" insert and internal rails. Handy as heck for card readers.

What's with the stuffed animals headscratch.gif Looks like a girls room tongue.gif

Looking really good to me. Still not sure about the 'honey comb' look on top, but I love that they went to a bigger hex mesh all around. You should be able to get ton of air flowing thru this baby thumb.gif

I'm thinking white will be the other color....camo would be cool, tho probably expensive special edition.

I wonder what will happen to the original Scout? Be a shame to discontinue it. An update would be nice. It deserves it.
