Lol... You never know if they'll even keep the name "storm trooper". I was thinking they should change it to "storm recon" or something like that. Yet again, I honestly don't think CM's nomenclature is the reason why they're in business. This design they've used in the demo sample of the case isn't as rugged and banged up like their HAF series but doesn't go full-blown conservative like the ATCS840 chassis I fell in love with. I honestly give props to CM for maintaining the 9 expansion slot-style mobo tray they've kept with the HAF-X case. I also wonder if fans could be mounted behind the motherboard tray...

Also I'm curious to see if they'll whip in the 200mm beasts they've been doing lately. Only reason why I said "CM has gone back to the good ol' stacker days" is because those chassis just house a crap tonne of 120s. Should they decide to go that route it would be really easy to source and tack on rads without having to tear up the chassis just to do it.

It looks like a larger version of the Storm Scout by the Side view. With 2 120s at the top. Two on the side and surely some in the front. If not it would be easy to mount at least 3 in the front. I can't wait to see a Mod for it. It is coming.

looks to me its going to run the same card size problems the scout has and having the card sit inside the drive bays is just

saying that it doesnt put me off wanting one

If you look, its actually an open hd cage nothing like the scout(which is good that it isnt like thr scout). This will be my next case(comming from a haf932

IF they are calling this a Full Size case it must be bigger than the Scout. Also the Scout is 19 inch x 19 inches and this one is approximately 750 mm x 750 mm Judging from the 200 mm fans in the picture. so that would make the approximate total case size as 29 x 29 inches. That is a full 10 inches of room side and high more than the Scout.

I think that this is the case that will replace the Haf but that is just MHO.

Looks to me like they took the scout and stretched it till it was the size of the haf lol

 

[unimatrixzero]

That was the whole idea of this case. In a way, this case is the COOLER MASTER STORM SCOUT II Case

Actually, its more like a revised HAF with front cooling coined from Lian Li Z series.

Sorry there somebody!!!!

'HAF' family isn't claiming this case.. It's part of the CM: 'STORM' family...

The 'Scouts' Bigger version brother. Everything established of structure inside this case comes from the
posting's in the CM Storm Scout Club... Even the name was mentioned in posting's in CMSSC....
Anyway, the HAF family has it's own line-up of cases... So sorry there bud. I, for one won't let no one claim this case to there family... We all speak under speculation & hear-say anyway until the official release of the case from CM!!!

 

[Siegfried262]

Interesting pictures, I'd love to pack three 120mm fans in the front considering the number of 5.25 bays.

Considering that, would the fans on the side next to the hard drive bays hinder front to back airflow?

"Case Family" doesn't mean anything, I meant it as in they clearly used the HAF-X's basic frame as a "building block". I never claimed that the Storm Trooper was supposed to be part of the HAF series either

I've taken a good look at the pictures. Being a HAF-X owner myself I was leaning to agree with you, until I looked more carefully. Notice the width of the chassis, and the proportions of the front. These indicate to me that this chassis is smaller than the HAF X, especially not as wide. Mainly because the lack of 230mm fans.

I think CM used the HAF 932 frame for the HAF X and changed a bunch of things. They wouldn't launch CM Storm Trooper a new chassis based on a nearly 4 year old frame (HAF 932).

You don't think that they re-used the Mobo tray? They could have easily modified the HAF-X's frame...the HAF-X has lots of plastic bits which give it its "shape".

 

[unimatrixzero]

Cooler Master sees that the CMSS has more fans. it looks better than the Haf and the Haf X and it is a big CMStorm Scout. The brotherhood of the CMSSC basically begged and bartered for very case. The CMSSC even asked for these dimentions and this look. They Pioneered some of the Ideas that are in this case and the Haf x .. It is part of the Family and its the Scouts big brother and I am sure the CMSSC claim that brotherhood.. and we will be a Family here.

1. It is part of the Storm range of cases, never denied that.

2. Sure, CM listened to you guys and made a new case from your suggestions.

3. Modifying parts of a HAF-X frame to make a the frame of this new Storm case doesn't mean that its part of HAF family, I was just stating the build origins of this case.

I understand clearly.. I agree with you. You have an excellent eye and since I have never seen a HAF series case in person I cannot disagree with you but I think this is going to be a winning case.
