The long-awaited CM Storm Scout 2 is ready to storm the battlefield<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 22 October, 2012 \u2013<\/strong> Cooler Master, an industry leading chassis, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer today showcased the next step in the evolution of highly mobile mid-towers, the Scout 2. <\/p>\n

Ready When You Are<\/strong>
\nTrue dedication to the growing eSports phenomenon is being ready to move at a moment\u2019s notice. Be it a LAN, friend\u2019s house, or a remote arena, Scout 2 is prepared to take the fight to the enemy. Comfortable rubber carrying handles with steel reinforcements that are bolted to the core structure ensure that no matter how good your configuration is, they\u2019ll be there to support the weight and ensure a swift transition between battlegrounds. Bumps and scuffs are an unavoidable part of any mission to a remote destination. A sliding cover over the two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and audio jacks on the front panel helps defend against possible damage and ensure that you can plug in.
\n
\nExpanded Support<\/strong>
\nThe predecessors to the Scout 2, CM Storm Scout 1 and Sniper, opened the door for fully-featured mid-towers to be the choice for mobile desktop PC gaming. Scout 2 goes beyond these and brings an ultramodern rifle appeal that elevates its abilities up to the pinnacle of support for its size. With that, users may build with confidence knowing that Scout 2 supports up to three 5.25\u201d bay devices, seven hard drives, two SSDs, and even NVIDIA GTX 690 or AMD HD 7970 through an easily removable hard drive cage.<\/p>\n

This extends to an emphasis on vast improvements to system airflow that is assisted by support for up to nine 120mm\u00a0 fans with two occupying strategically placed spots on the side panel to cool your graphics cards. Should you want to catch some much needed sleep between gaming sessions, simply use the convenient front panel LED switch to switch the LED lit case fan lights off. Also, quick slide-out dust filters have been equipped in the top and PSU area to easily remove unwanted dust hitchhikers.
