Cooler Master presents us with a suitable design for the occasion. Elegant black color and image of the box… We can see that its interior is perfectly packaged for the occasion.

Next to the box we find an instruction manual. The box looks very high-end and elegant.

This area is a "secret hideout" where it houses all the hardware, PSU extender and accessories.

In the upper part of the front, it allows us to use a "HOT SWAP" SSD or 2.5 "laptop disks. This is very useful when transporting files from other computers to our computer.

The central panel looks like those of an airplane. We have a fan controller, USB 2.0 and 3.0 outputs, audio and essential buttons: Off / On, reset…

One of the characteristics that make this box a unique product is its super robust carrying handle that allows us to transport the box easily and quickly (as far as possible).

The box brings a good repertoire of filters to prevent dust from entering the box. Monthly cleaning is advisable.

Just look at the left side we see a sale and a grid where there are two of the fans for hard drive cabins.

The right side has grilles for air outlet from hard drives. A box perfectly designed to be one of the tops on the market.

At the back we see an installed 120 or 140 mm fan, 2 connections for liquid cooling and 10 PCI expansion slots for XL-ATX plates.

Here the gap of the power supply.

The interior of the box is painted white, incorporating many fans and an attractive design.

The cooling is very good since it includes a total of 4 fans.

The Cooler Master Cm Storm Stryker is a white box with an elegant design. A cabinet designed for transportation on partys campus, thanks to its robust handle. Compatible with all the most interesting boards on the market: Micro ATX, ATX and XL-ATX.
