CM Storm Enforcer Chassis Review

Installlation is a simple task that took no time at all due to the amounts of work space and easy mounting for the various components. One key thing that we found was the well designed holes for cable management, which made this an even easier job to do. For people like me who change the CPU and cooler very often, the hole for changing the backplate is a real godsend.

Cable tidying from this side never looks pleasant but does show the room available for all of the stray cables.

At the back of this case we see the available space for the Storm Guard which according to the manual can be replaced with a security bracket.

the pre-supplied fan at the back has no LEDs and when coupled with a black I/O backplate and black PSU, it looks fantastic. We have been told however that the rear fan can be replaced with a 120mm radiator leaving you the choice for an internal or external water cooling setup.

Once all of the components have been installed, the side window panel provides a look inside at the vital parts, allowing you to show off your expensive gaming hardware. Adding some red LED fans or some kind of lighting would give this an even better view.

Normally i would have added a red/black designed motherboard to coincide with the case, but sadly Asus have my Crosshair IV for repair at the moment, though the end result still looks very impressive and shows that the cable management on this case really has paid off.

The massive 200mm red LED front fan is a fantastic addition to the chassis and supplies good airflow for cooling the hard drives. With 6 hard drives installed, they produce a lot of heat.
