Cooler Master Storm Enforcer Case Review

The CM Storm Enforcer is a welcome addition to the CM Storm line and Cooler Master has done an outstanding job of combining aesthetic features with performance, and design features you rarely find in high end cases.  The case feels sturdy and the finish work is exactly what you would expect from an industry leader. 

From a pure performance stand point, the Storm Enforcer has great potential.  Serious enthusiasts will need to immediately evaluate adding fans or a water cooling system to really get the most out of the Enforcer design.  The modular setup of the drive bays and some creativity allow for some simple mods that could really take advantage of the extra space.

The real question is how could this case be improved? Or do we even need to look at those options.  Honestly there is not much I would suggest to improve the design but who wouldn't love to see this stylish chassis with an aluminum frame and carbon fiber panels!  Of course those upgrades would save weight, but let's face it build weight is mostly due to your component choices and proper gaming systems can become quite heavy.  (I know from personal experience having lugged a few to the local LAN) 

Improved airflow could be achieved by allowing air through the door to take advantage of the upper drive bay mesh and additional mesh along the ornamental louvers would not only enhance the look but provide additional venting.
 
There is a lot to love about the CM Storm Enforcer.  Overall I find that the case looks great and performs well right out of the box.  The red lighting is an eye-catcher with a nice big window to back it up and cable management options are some of the best I have seen.  If you are on the market for a new gaming case or simply an attractive starting point for a serious performance build, you owe it to yourself to check out the Enforcer.
