Page 1: Introduction, About Cooler Master
Introduction
It wasn't too long ago that USB 3.0 was included in cases almost as an afterthought rather than a real feature. The blame for this lies as much on motherboard manufacturers as it does with case makers, if not more so; but it is still nice to see the proliferation happen to the extent that there are workable solutions for USB 3.0.
That is a double-edged sword, though. Nowadays, USB 3.0 isn't a selling point by itself so much as a prerequisite. To stand out, case makers must continue to innovate, but without pricing themselves out of contention for the budget market.
HardwareLogic has the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer mid-tower case for review, Cooler Master's latest entry in their Storm line of gaming-oriented products. It certainly has an impressive feature set more comparable to $100+ cases than those of budget cases, but do the features bring quality to the equation?
