At the bottom to the left we see a lot of space for even the biggest ATX power supplies. No problem. Once seated the PSU will sit on two rubber strips that will adsorb vibrations created by the PSU when powered on.
To the right you can see another drive cage, that one is intended for 2.5" HDD and SSDs. The cage is removable as well to help out with drive installation, or to give you more room for liquid cooling gear or additional fans. At the bottom another removable dust filter has been fitted.
And here the backside of the chassis, behind the motherboard. There is plenty of space for cable routing, the Trooper might only have three routing points but they are all very large and located at every key location on a ATX / ATX-XL motherboard. Also we see a huge mainboard tray cutout, that's for replacing fan brackets that need to be mounted at the backside of the motherboard. Easy access. That cutout is huge alright, yet does not make the mainboard tray any less sturdy.
All three cable routing ports have rubber inserts, again for that clean look.
At the backside here we can spot the two 3.5" drive cages that can house up-to eight 3.5" HDDs. Being positioned this way you do not have a messy slurry of cable spaghetti at the other side of the chassis. Simple yet so clever really and aesthetically is cleans up the overall looks at the motherboards side as well. These drive bays can be removed to make space for a big extra radiator. So these modular units can be rotated, front to back, side to side or removed altogether.
You'll find plenty of tool-less drive trays that will support 3.5 drives to be inserted in the chassis. Installation of the HDDs is really easy.
You can place into one of the eight 3.5" drive trays by slightly bending on each side to create additional room for the drive to fit into. Once on the tray the hard drive is locked in place with four pins that fit into the screw holes on the sides.
Then you just slide it on until it you hear a click, and from there on its secured, as easy as that.
Cooler Master CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced review
We review the new Cooler Master CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced edition (Ghost White edition) chassis. And if you think it looks familiar, well it's because it is.

Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker review
We review the new Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker full tower chassis. and if you think it looks familiar, well it's because it is. The product we'll review today is the CM Storm Stryker chassis aimed at you guys, the gamers. The product however has for 98% the DNA of the CM Storm Trooper, hence why you probably recognize it. Aside from the subtle hints towards Star Wars (Stryker/Trooper), there are distinct differences though. The new Stryker has a predominantly white look with black inserts, we see a side window, and the side panels have been shaped differently as well. Inside again everything is white with black touches.
Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger review
We review the Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger mechanical keyboard. The Trigger as released under the CM Storm branding comes with a lot of features that should be appealing to you as a gamer. For example18K gold-plated ultra-low latency USB connectors, two integrated USB 2.0 ports through a HUB. The Trigger is also a mechanical keyboard, as such is has been equipped with Cherry Black switches. These keys have a long-lived, can withstand a good beating, the stuff you as a gamer like so much.
CM Storm Trooper review
Cooler Master has unleashed its CM Storm Trooper Case. The chassis, as you noted is branded under the CM Storm series. The case features an all black and bulky design with a cool front panel. The Trooper comes with a nice nine expansion slots providing support for multi-GPUs in SLI or Crossfire. in total there's space for 14 hard drives and the motherboard tray even supports XL-ATX form factors. Its one of CMs best chassis to date we dare to state.
