Cooler Master Storm Stryker Case Review

The Cooler Master Storm Styker

When we start looking at computer chassis the first thing we need to consider is, is it going to be big enough to handle all of our computer components easily? While some of us can get away with a smaller mid-tower type of chassis, there are some of us that need a larger full tower chassis. This is due to the fact that some enthusiasts have just have way too much computer to be trying to fit it all inside of a smaller case. Many computer systems keep getting bigger due to elaborate water cooling setups and multi-GPU configurations, so the need is there for larger and more sophisticated cases. The full tower chassis has the ability to handle a multitude of different computer configurations with ease and provide owner with years of usability.
