The Cooler Master Storm (CM Storm) Sniper is a great case in many regards. Starting with the ability from the company to create very nicely themed enclosures and adding a level of detail to these overall designs, which other companies have yet to manage, to the well balanced interior. When first seeing the HAF 932 I was impressed by the small details of the chassis and the same goes for the CM Storm Sniper. The paint job and small logo, along with the bulging side panels make for a beautiful chassis.
The functional features within the case do not disappoint either. There is plenty of space to install large mainboards, CPU coolers and multiple graphic cards. Being a case aimed at the enthusiast gamer, having the space for a dual 120 mm radiator is also a very important aspect. The Sniper scores big with some additional features, like the possibility to control up to five fans and to toggle the LED lighting. The HDD trays and the screw-less drive locking mechanism work well on top of that. The only real downside I can complain about are the plastic locks of the expansion cards. I think it would have been fine if Cooler Master had opted for traditional thumb screws instead, especially considering that users of this chassis will most likely fill it with some pretty high-end hardware. Overall, it is hard to find anything wrong with this chassis and Cooler Master has managed to create yet another uniquely looking chassis with a lot of innovative and useful features which certainly does justify the price of the enclosure. It will be quite interesting to see what the future of the CM Storm brand brings.
