Ample air flow, but lacking style

Looking inside, you'll find there's room to work with all your gear, but no removable motherboard tray. Fortunately, the gap in the motherboard tray will allow for easy heat sink installation.

Look up, and you'll find more mesh, to which another 200mm fan would be attached. Mesh or no mesh, this one should in theory provide ample air flow.

Cooler Master has stated that its Storm range would focus heavily on strength, security and control. Consequently, Sniper's a strong-looking beast, and it has the odd control here and there, too.

However some of us have become increasingly bored with the rugged look of some gaming chassis (Ed. Speak for yourself darling! ;) ), and after a quick first impression, style isn't a word we'd neccessarily associate with the Cooler Master Sniper. That said, the HEXUS team at Gamers Convention in Leipzig said the local 'rattenboys' seemed to love the looks.

The chassis itself will launch later this year, and pricing is yet to be confirmed.

All said and done though,if this prototype is anything to go by, the CM Storm Sniper seems to promise to be a solid offering, overall.

Sure, its got great airflow and features, but I'll never buy one since it looks absolutely hideous.

Did someone just walk into the board meeting and say “I want a case. All of the outside is mesh. Lots of stuff. Make it big and black too.”
ooooo… pretty :laugh:

I hope it's supposed to be Antec 300 price because anything more would be an insult.
Its just a black case… hardly worth an article IMO
only thing interesting bout the case is the fact that its all mesh, can't even begin to think about the amount of dust it'll let in plus the noise it'll let out…. still waiting on the silverstone raven, now thats a great case imo :) a quirky design which has a great idea to it, not just some standard case that looks like its bullet-ridden

Love the internal design idea of the case but not too keen on the transformer styling myself.
