| Some of the plastic parts seem a little brittle (pretty much the top/front/bottom are plastic). Think my front fan cover got damaged during shipping, the right corner sticks out a bit and can push it in/out. The plastic borders around the side cover also seem a little misaligned. Can see a metal screw hole on the upper right where the side should be covering. The back 120mm fan seems to run a little slow as well. Plan to replace it sometime in the future, since it doesn't match all the blue led fans I got now. Also thought it was odd that there's no internal speaker. Got used to my old case beep whenever the system booted up and came in handy during troubleshooting. |

| The 120mm rear fan is rated at 1200RPM though (unless Cooler Master swapped it for one of their slower spinning fans), which is the speed of most case fans. |

| Hmmm...quality build or shipping issues? Or both? Even without internal speaker, did it come with separate tiny speaker on a wire? (Forgot what it's called) |

Didn't see any mention of a case speaker anywhere. All the mobo header wires were also pre-cable tied to the case, the internal speaker would probably be too if they included it.
Also for the sagging video card, i've seen some Lian Li cases that have support bars for longer cards. Worth a look if you are looking for a new case to house a long video card. |

| @Bender -- I see. How come you didn't get the Scout or 922, by the way? |

Was looking at the Scout but saw that it was smaller than the Sniper/922. The video card would have been a tight fit and wanted a bit more room to move around in because trying to tidy up my old case was nearly impossible with all the tight spaces.
As for the 922, it seemed like a stripped down Sniper (no case handles/fan speed controller, top fan not LED colored, etc.). Also preferred the Sniper's looks. Liked the mesh window and love me some blue case fans  |
