CM Storm have been updating some of their products this year and today is the turn of the CM Storm Scout model, which was first launched several years ago.
On paper, the CM Storm Scout II looks to be a vast improvement on its predecessor, as it features USB 3.0, improved carrying handles and much more. For a mid-tower chassis it can also fit a whopping 9 x 120mm fans, which should give some serious cooling performance although only a single fan is included in the box.

quite a nice chassis design, and reasonably priced. I still want the Cosmos II however.
One of the best value for money cases on the market. I do agree however, another fan as intake would really help the overall airflow system
