APH Networks, Benchmark Reviews, Futurelooks, HardwareHeaven, KitGuru, and PureOverclock have reviewed the brand new Cooler Master Storm Enforcer mid-tower case.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • APH Networks:

    "Unlike other computer cases I have taken a look at in the past, Cooler Master's Storm Enforcer is really quite unique and different. The overall design and appearance is definitely appealing to me. I also like how Cooler Master provides a fairly large and clean side panel window for a nice view of your internal components. In my opinion, the design of the side and front grooves as well as the air intake design looks very likeable, plus a touch of simplicity in midst of its aggressiveness. Construction quality is also very commendable for the price tag it commands."

  • Benchmark Reviews:

    "The functionality of this case is excellent. Innovative features like the removable drive bays make the case more versatile than its peers, and the inclusion of 2.5" drive bays and native SuperSpeed USB ports mean that it can easily accomodate the very latest motherboards and hardware. I would like to have seen at least the option for a side panel fan to cool hot multi-card SLI and CrossFireX setups.

    The Cooler Master Storm Enforcer represents an excellent value in the case market. It's inexpensive but definitely not cheap; you can build a very nice system in this case without feeling that you've compromised anything."

  • Futurelooks:

    "Aside from the dust filter quality, the new CMStorm Enforcer brings gamers a very tasteful looking case at an affordable price of $89.99US. The only thing left for us to do is install some components, take some temperatures, noise readings, extra pictures, and give you our final take on this case in our review coming up soon."

  • HardwareHeaven:

    "The CM Storm Enforcer is an impressive case and from the moment we took it out the box it felt solid. The matt black finish suits its aggressive styling and the red of the CM Storm logo is matched with the glow from the front fan for a striking presence.

    The Enforcer has sturdiness about it, with each element being well-built. The front for example, includes a re-enforced door that makes sure our optical drives are protected from bumps and knocks. The components provided with the Enforcer were also finished to a high quality and we found the slide rails for the drives worked particularly well. They were easy and quick to fit and held our drive securely in place."

  • KitGuru:

    "The CM Storm Enforcer seems to share quite a lot in common with Cooler Master’s 690 II case but there are some key differences. The Enforcer feels much more cheaply made than the 690 as a result of the vast amount of cheap-feeling matte black plastic used for the front panel of the case. Additionally, the 690 has room for a 240 mm radiator in the roof whereas the Enforcer only has room for fans."

  • PureOverclock:

    "With an approximate price tag of $90 USD, the Storm Enforcer will sit in a mid-level market segment that features a few popular competitors that also target gamers, though the Enforcer will be in a much better price, in some instances by $30. When the price is factored in, it is an excellent deal. Showcasing a great combination of sharp aesthetics, extensive features, and outstanding quality, the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer is an great choice for a mid-tower case."

While this does seem like a pretty good case, I don't see anything that makes it any better than Cooler Master's own CM 690 II Advanced.
