Cooler Master has had quite the success with the CM Storm Trooper chassis. The new Stryker utilizes the same shape, design and chassis, but offers different side panels and that important white and black look.

Like the design a lot! White, I don't know about all that LOL. I would not want that unless it was in a very clean environment.

I noticed you kept saying the fans had red LED's they sure looked blue to me unless I missed something.

Other than that great review!

Why would the default intake fan set up blow that nice cool air straight out of the case?

Seems... silly

This case looks amazing, but sadly it doesn't look like it has the room of my HAF 922 to fit the radiators I'm running. If it did I would almost think of picking one up later.

It's a nice case. Cooler Master knows how to build them. Dare I say they are the "Antec" of ten years ago?

Great review, darksaber. I'm currently looking to build a new rig, and i'm looking into getting this or the NZXT switch 810.

i just have a question, can you have the fans face the front and still have your hard drives facing just like how you installed it?
