CM Storm Sniper: Black Edition Review
The Build
Just a quick shot of the build. The specifications are as follows:
- CM Storm Sniper: Black Edition – Mesh Version
- ASUS P5E Deluxe X48 (Rampage Formula BIOS)
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7200
- Cooler Master V10
- G.SKILL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2-1000 PQ
- SAPPHIRE HD 4870 1GB
- Main OS Drive: Western Digital 640GB (WD6400AAKS)
- Additional Storage (WD 250GB + Seagate 160GB)
- Cooler Master UCP 1100W PSU
- ASUS SupremeFX II (Sound Card)
- WinFast TV2000 XP Expert (TV Tuner Card)
I am pleased at how well it houses the V10 (which is absolutely huge!) and of course the HD 4870 which measures 9.5” in length. Very spacious indeed and cools superbly.
Another excellent case review from you, Leon.
Wow, thanks BFG. I do try.
Nice review, but for the money this one cost, you could get an awesome full tower case.
Cool review. I just bought this case last week and couldn’t be happier. The airflow is just.. amazing. The only thing I don’t get is why they made it black on the inside but don’t offer a windowed version in the US (you have to buy the window from them AFTER you buy the case..).
Thanks. I’m glad you like the review.
As for the windowed side panel, keep in mind that from the outset it was supposed to only be available in selected markets. Also, the mesh version is what you would call the ‘default’.
Not sure about their reasoning but that is how they decided to market it.
