Futurelooks, Guru3D, Hardware Secrets, and PureOverclock have reviewed the Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper full tower case.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Futurelooks:

    "Cooling performance is right on par with previous generations in stock configuration and slightly better when switching drive cages and adding additional cooling. There’s plenty of potential for managing the hottest components on the planet. Being able to integrate your own flavor of water cooling is just a bonus especially for the hardcore enthusiasts. Given the CM Storm Trooper’s $189.99 US/CA price tag, enthusiasts should be scooping this case up for their current and future builds. It’s definitely priced very competitively with the rest of the pack.

    After seeing the features and design finally come together, I really do think Coolermaster has an award winning premium gaming computer case on their hands. Let’s make that recommendation official by tying a solid Editors’ Choice award on it. The CM Storm Trooper has arrived and it’s the one to beat at just under $200."

  • Guru3D:

    "So let me conclude, Cooler Master has been able to out a long list of esteemed cases over the past few years from that legendary Cosmos (which will get an update soon as well) to the gamer oriented HAF and Storm series. Each and every time they hit the nail on its head as CM designs cases that appeal to gamers and enthusiasts, this audience. The CM Storm Trooper is an excellent combination of features, requirements, looks and offers decent value. We can wholeheartedly recommend it."

  • Hardware Secrets:

    "We usually don’t like to recommend cases above USD 150 simply because we think this is the maximum price users must pay for a case with all the features possible. The CM Storm Trooper, however, has so many outstanding features that we think that it brings a good value for the enthusiast looking for a full-tower case to build the ultimate high-end gaming system. For the average user, however, there are more affordable options on the market."

  • PureOverclock:

    "Same goes for the extruded panels, the one behind the motherboard tray specifically it gives you so much room to work with when it comes to the cable management in this case. Filters galore is also a windfall here, as Cooler Master has really covered all the bases when it comes to quick and easy swapping in and out of gear with the Trooper. With the added bonus of being able to run two 240 rads internally this whole package really rounds itself out.

    The Cooler Master Trooper is an excellent chassis that successfully checks all the boxes, with sleek aesthetics, extensive features, and attention to details that are generally only present in premium full tower cases. At this cases price point of $190, the Cooler Master Trooper is an outstanding deal and one of the better full towers you’ll find on the market."
