Not all LAN party cases have to look like little square boxes that could serve as a footrest in between gaming sessions. Take Cooler Master's new CM Storm Trooper, for instance. This thing skips the mid-tower madness and jumps straight into full-tower territory and is supposedly "the first in its class to include an ultra-strong carrying handle."
Don't worry if you have trouble walking straight after a full night of gaming, Cooler Master designed the CM Storm Trooper with a damage-resistant rubberized coating. You probably should be careful not to fall down a flight of stairs, but bumping into a wall or pedestrian shouldn't scuff up the case.
There are some other tricks up the CM Storm Trooper's sleeve. It's the first full-tower case with two 90 degrees rotatable 4-in-3 HDD modules (it supports up to 14 hard drives in all), there are removable dust filters on the top and bottom intakes, there's an external 2.5-inch HDD/SSD dock, a built-in fan controller, and a hidden tool box "for storing private goods."
The CM Storm Trooper will be available on October 4th for $190 MSRP.

Looks like a great case I love my Enforcer the front of it's kinda plain though but it's just a case.

all the manufacturers have really steped up their cases. There are a lot of really nice ones out there, Coolermaster makes some nice cases, been using my HAF932 for almost 3 years, best case I have ever owned.

The problem with new parts is that I always want them haha! My project fell thru when I couldn't come up with the funds for a new dream build :/ but I guess I got a new case to window shop with come october

Hope that handle is nice and strong :) Also, what's the deal with cases made after 2009 that continue to feel the need for 14 HDD slots? What percent of the population really utilizes that? How about some additional fans, instead? I know I haven't needed 28TB of space since I stopped trying to backup The Internet.

I could use 14 HDD slots. I dont think my 6TB will last very long...
