Conclusion:
Cooler Master has always made a good impression with their cases, and the Storm Enforcer mid-tower case continues this tradition. Overall the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer is a well designed and solidly built case that provides features usually limited to more expensive cases. Some of the things that would-be buyers might be most pleased to see include tool-less drive installation, water cooling grommets, support for long video cards, good cable management features, and support for solid state drives.
While not many will be able to use the internal USB 3.0 connector just yet, it is nice to have the internal connector available for the front panel connections. Having this connection available as both an internal and external style connection would be helpful. Including fan filters for the intake fans and power supply is also very nice feature, however cleaning them becomes a bit challenging. Making them easily removable would be a nice design change.
One other wish list item would be the addition of a top exhaust fan to potentially enhance the cooling even more. If you want some additional cooling, consider purchasing the
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 with red LEDs.
According to the
Bigbruin.com shopping pages, the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer mid-tower case can be found at a few online retailers, but your best bet is probably either Amazon.com or Newegg.com where it sells for $79.99 (US), which is a good deal for a case with all of the features commonly found on cases costing more.
For its quality, design, and desirable features the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer mid-tower case earns the Bigbruin.com "Recommended" award. And because it offers all that it does for less than $80 it also earns the Bigbruin.com "Good Value" award.
