	Technic 3D	Nov 20, 2009	German	Cooler Master CM Storm Scout – Schwarz-roter Feuerblitz?
	Cooler Master hat erneut die Storm Serie um einen weiteren guten Midi-Tower bereichert. Insbesondere die innovativen Ideen, wie beispielsweise in Form des Tragegriffes, Diebstahlschutz (Storm Guard) zeigen ein klar zugeschnittenes Gehäuse für Spieler. Mit 8,7 Kilogramm ist das Scout für ein Stahl-Gehäuse erstaunlich leicht und trotzdem stabil.

	Ah, now this is more like it [...] The new case from CoolerMaster's gaming brand CM Storm, the Scout is impressive [...] The verdict then, is that this case has everything you need and for a bargain price.
	brighthub.com	Oct 05, 2009	English	Review: CM Storm Scout “True Ultimate LAN Gaming Case”
	This is a highly portable case with a tight mid-tower form factor that still provides room for sufficient cooling opportunity. It's a well built gaming chassis that won't fall apart under the pressure of being moved a lot. If you equip your entire gaming team with this case your sure to make an impression. The CM Storm Scout sells in stores and on ebay for between $95-$125
	overclock.net	Aug 28, 2009	English	[Review] Cooler Master CM Scout
	Overall I think the CM Scout is a wonderful case. It's slightly more cramped inside than my 900 was but offers a lot of features that I don't get in my old Antec. The SafeGuard feature is great for LAN parties and keeps someone from walking away with your peripherals. The handle makes moving the computer a breeze and the case is unquestionably stylish and cool to look at. The case kept all my components cool with the stock fans and I will probably be sticking with the case.

	Tech-Reviews	Jul 03, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout Gaming Case
	For the target market this enclosure is aimed at (gamers and overclockers) this case has got all the features any of these markets would demand. It offers plenty of fan locations, gamer aesthetics, LED lighting, space for large graphics cards and all of the features which makes it perfect for LAN. All this comes at a very affordable price too, just £70. There are not many other enclosures out there which offer the same features as the CM Scout for this price and so Cooler Master has really made a case which should suit any gamer budget.
	Unique Rigs	Jun 16, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout
	The CM Scout really blew us away, with it's nice exterior and interior design. We can't say enough good things that CM implemented in the case. From the nicely designed handles to the tool less drive rails of its interiors, the Scout has to be one of the most complete mid tower case we've reviewed so far. We really liked how the overall look and feel jived together to bring out a very sleek and aggressive looking desktop. We are giving the CM Scout case a score of 9 out 10 with our Editor's Choice
	Overclockers HQ	Jun 16, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout Gaming Chassis Review
	So the question is, would I recommend this? Of course I would, I would have to be crazy not to. With its sleek military look, tinted window, great cooling power, solid steel case, full black interior, steel reinforced carrying handle, and even a LED toggle switch it was not to recommend it. In addition with the cooling power, with the power supply sucking air in from below can be a double edged sword. While not stealing air that could be cooling your other components, and having its own dust filter, it also might have a slight problem when placed on some surfaces. What I mean when I say that this shouldn't be placed on some surfaces, I mean that if you are using the downward facing PSU setup, you might not want to place the case on a long shaggy carpet and risk cutting off air flow to your PSU, but in most cases this might not be of huge concern. With all these features and more this should definitely put the Cooler Master Scout Gaming Chassis near the top of the list for any LAN party gamer or enthusiast.

	Final thoughts on this then, well the CM Storm Scout seems to perform very well and for the price it has at the moment of the review, around 85 Euro, it is a very good computer case with nice features and great design.
	Hardware Logic	Jun 02, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout
	The Scout comes with one of the most complete and best working tool-less systems that we have seen. That is pretty amazing considering that the Scout is deemed a mid-grade case in the mid-tower class. The Scout is not a box with just claims of tool-less mechanisms, but follows through by making sure the components are secure without any additional screws needed.

	Extreme Tech	May 29, 2009	English	A Pair of Mid-Tower ATX Cases
	In all, this affordable case has a lot to like. Four USB ports instead of the usual two, large rugged handles to carry your PC to the next LAN party, good cooling, a switch to turn off the glowing red LEDs in the fans, a raised keyboard tray with some pre-routed cables and enough space for more. [...] For the price, compact size yet still workable interior, and feature set, we have no problem recommending this case for someone who wants a mid-tower case to put an enthusiast PC in.
	Tech Arkade	May 28, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout
	This tower was fantastic to build in. The quality of the Storm series products has been fantastic, all the way down to the accessories kit. There is a lot more room to tuck wires than a normal mid-tower. The gamer orriented extras, such as the StormGuard, and carrying handle are very nice to have; if not selling points on their own. The included fans were fairly quiet and move a decent amount of air, though the LED's in them are weak. I do not like the smoked window, and think that a clear one should be an option, if not the only option.

	"Cooler Master STORM SCOUT - The Gamer's Chassis!"
	ProClockers	May 21, 2009	English	CM Storm Scout
	If you were to step out right now and pick up a CM Storm Scout you would be returning home with one of the best little cases available. This Scout offers a lot of what the Sniper and 922 also from Coolermaster has. The absolute first thing that made the Scout a winner in our book is the clean mesh front. The front facial does not have a lot doing on. It remains sleek from top to bottom. And this look will appeal to the gamer as well as the casual PC user.

	The style of the case is eye-catching to say the least. Cooler Master even went out of their way to paint the inside, giving the Scout that custom look when everything is in place. I would recommend the Scout to anyone in the mid-tower market.

	PureOC	May 19, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout
	With an approximate price tag of $110 USD, the Storm Scout sits in a mid-level market segment that features a few popular competitors that also target gamers, though the Scout sits at a much better price, in some instances by $30. When the price is factored in, it is an excellent deal. Showcasing an great combination of sharp aesthetics, extensive features, and outstanding quality, the Cooler Master Storm Scout is an excellent choice for a mid-tower case.

	The Cooler Master Scout Case is very similar to the Sniper and once again feature for feature one of the very best mid-tower cases on the market. With three fans (2x140mm & 1x120mm) it has excellent air circulation, tooless design, quality build, excellent styling, all black, etc. It even comes with an integrated handle at the top.,,,

	Ninjalane	Apr 30, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout Case Review
	The CM Storm Scout is a great case in many different ways. The Front I/O panel is a great touch with lots of accessible connections. The Scout is a smaller case making it much easier to transport. The handles are very sturdy and perfect for quick moving action and convenience. We also found the ability to secure your peripherals from sticky fingers as another huge plus. The case is almost completely tool less so you won't be hard pressed to find any tools if something needs to be swapped out in a pinch.
	Hightech-Hardware	Apr 27, 2009	English	CoolerMaster Storm Scout
	I like the design of the Scout and the overall design of the whole Storm series. I feel that CoolerMaster has risen above the level of the average case by using the design ideas of people who actually use these type of cases. The carrying handle allows the consumer to lug it around with ease. Weighing in just shy of 20lbs, and with a moderate build on the inside, means that you won't rip your arm from it's socket carrying it around to all the LAN parties....

	CPU3D	Apr 15, 2009	English	Coolermaster CM Storm Scout Chassis
	Continuing their CM Storm product range, Coolermaster have delivered a midi tower case that's extremely appealing to the general public ... especially gamers. If you compare it to an Antec 900 ... I would choose the CM Storm Scout.
	Techgage	Apr 10, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout Mid-Tower
	So let's tear open the box and make sure Cooler Master's claims are true and that the "CM Storm Scout is the True Ultimate LAN Gaming Case" I have tested most of the high flow designs out there by various companies such as the NZXT Tempest, the Antec 900 and even the CM HAF 932. To my pleasant surprise the Scout could easily hang with the big boys in raw cooling potential. I consider this a great achievement for such a small chassis.
	Cowcotland	Apr 09, 2009	French	Boitier Storm Scout, du bon Gamer accessible
	The second product from the storm range is another great success as habits, and we begin to ask ourself if one day Cooler master will build a bad product, cause now, between ATCS 840,Sniper,Haf932 and scout, we are with a famous brand that have a real good collection of gold award!”
	Benchmark Reviews	Apr 09, 2009	English	CM Storm Scout Gaming Case SGC-2000-KKN1-GP
	The Scout lives up to its name, in terms of appearance. The military design theme is not some cheesy copy of past hardware; it's a modern, functional construct. It doesn't try to look good, there's no other school of design represented here except Form Follows Function. Some people use that credo as an excuse for a quick and sloppy effort, but a thorough examination of functional requirements always suggests an organic shape that looks right. I'd say, whoever designed the Scout got it right.
	Extreme Overclocking	Apr 09, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout Mid Tower Chassis
	Overall I'm very pleased with the Cooler Master Storm Scout. This case continues with the same level of quality and innovation that people have come to expect from Cooler Master. Its compact design is favorable for LAN gamers, but the interior still provides ample room for a completely loaded system. When compared to similar cases like the NZXT Tempest or Thermaltake V9, the Scout really takes it to a whole new level. Personally, I think my favorite part has to be the painted interior, it just gives the case that extra wow factor.
	Bjorn3d.com	Apr 09, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout- The True Gameing Case
	Cooler Master has set out to attract enthusiasts and new buyers alike with the Storm series of cases. So far, the series has stressed on smaller, but better cases. Both the Sniper and Scout are mid tower cases. There are a lot of enthusiasts out there who prefer to use full towers because of the added space. I myself prefer the extra space, but hate all the extra weight. I am also not a fan of larger aluminum cases, which make it possible to be lighter, but sacrifice the strength of steel. Cooler Master has made a compromise, with making the case smaller they can keep the weight down, and still keep the strength of steel.
	thetechlounge	Apr 09, 2009	English	Cooler Master Storm Scout Mid-Tower Case
	There’s one thing about this case that I like right off the bat. Instead of designing an I/O panel into the front or top bezel of the case, Cooler Master sprung for a removable 3.5” bay device with eSATA, USB, and audio jacks. The fact that this is a full ATX chassis with room for any hardware means that you’ve got all the options in the world for parts selection, and finding good ones will be a cinch. (Feel free to comment with your prospective parts list, I do get a kick out of virtual shopping.)
