CM Storm Scout 2 Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis Review

For gamers on the go, there are a whole separate set of wants and needs compared to gamers who setup their rig and leave it on the floor. When it comes to cases, they need to be lightweight, easy to transport and able to keep your bits and pieces safe, all without sacrificing features or build quality.

Enter the Scout 2 from Cooler Master, which has just been released today under the gamer-oriented CM Storm brand name. Like the original Scout, the Scout 2 is made for LAN gamers and aims to cover all of the above requirements without stripping down any of the must-have bells and whistles.

Made primarily of steel with plastic accents, the Scout 2 supports micro-ATX and ATX motherboard form factors, just as the original did. The entire front panel is covered by a filtered, metal mesh to provide maximum airflow. There's room at the top for up to three 5.25" drives and up to two optional 120mm fans or a single optional 140mm fan that will take up the remaining space below.
