Cooler Master Storm Stryker
When the Stryker released, it was generally viewed as a case that was both portable and ready for extreme hardware. That still remains true. It is a very useful and portable chassis, the handle on the top truly makes it much easier to pick up and move, versus the Cosmos II for example, which is awesome, but gets heavy when loaded. The Stryker is a slightly less crazy chassis, but thankfully, it does still have the ability to run some pretty serious hardware and even water cooling. This makes it a very versatile case, which is excellent for anyone who may be moving their build around often.
Today, I’ll be going over the gallery of pictures I took of the Stryker, and making comments on it as well. First though, I’ll give some background info on it. In essence, the Stryker is a white version of the CM Storm Trooper, it maintains the same design, but unlike the Trooper, it does have a window for showing off hardware.

Thanks for the introduction of the Cooler Master Storm Stryker. I really appreciate the Stryker’s cooling capabilities, thanks to the interior design and large number of case fans possible. I also like the aggressive, yet sophisticated look of the Stryker, as well as the portability.
