Conclusion

Cooler Master CM Storm Sniper PC Case CM, Cooler Master, Storm 1

Certainly a chassis aimed at the gaming masses, the CM Storm Sniper hits the scene loaded with features that every gamer will appreciate. Large fans pushing a decent amount of air, plenty of ventilation, cool lighting, built in handles, security features and a sturdy built chassis with enough room for a truly serious system. 

Drawbacks? Of course their may be a few draw backs, or at least one might think so at first. What about all those wires from the control center you say, lord help there were a ton of them. Yeah, your right there were, but there were a ton of extra already pre-installed that you would probably install anyway. Well, some of us would anywayd. Those who wouldn’t can always do away with what wiring is not needed. Although they did not cause me a problem this time, (usually they do) I am not a fan of the plastic PCI slot locks. Yes, they worked fine in the CM Sniper, in fact the best I have seen like this so I can’t call them a con this time, but still I am not a fan.

The only truly annoying issue I had with the CM Storm Sniper was that the Force 200 fans were not yet available. I say annoying because I know they will be soon, however, at the time of this review they are not and the Sniper has been selling like hot cakes for some time now. Personally, I think they should be readily available if they are to be an option and more especially for replacement parts.

Overall, I have to say my experience with the with the CM Storm Sniper has been a great one. I love the case, being a modder I can’t wait to do some sort of modding to it and see what comes out of it.
