Raidmax Storm ATX Mid-Tower Case

Features

Right below the 120mm fan intake is a push and click door for a couple USB ports. Oddly enough firewire is missing but it looks as though it could be easily implemented.

A 80mm Clear side case fan is an attractive option to the nicely cut out diagram on the case.

This is one the neatest options on the Storm case is the implemented blow hole on the clear plastic top window. This is a very nice feature for those out there with chrome goodies that are worth a watching audience.

Lots of room for drives in here. Note that this is not an aluminum case, but its quite nice for a low budget steel case. 4x80mm fans is nice for those large RAID arrays.

A shortage of fans in the front but not in the back. Much like the side case fan these are also clear 80mm's.

The backside of the case defines the sturdy construction of the Storm case.

Conclusion

     The Raidmax Storm is a welcome addition to the low budget Overclocker. At a price of under $60 its a really good deal for those of you that are looking to build a box as a secondary system. With its side, top and rear ventilation the Storm should be more than adequate for system cooling for good system stability. The fit and finish of the Storm is also worth mentioning since its such a nice mirror finish with its chrome accents. The only downfall of the case is its innovation. I recall buying a case with the same internal design 3 years ago, and it came with a 300W power supply. I stuffed a dual AMD setup in it and finish it off with a bunch of blowholes and 4 hard drives. It did an excellent job for its purpose, but its now 2004 and the Storm is a great looking case but lacks the ingenuity to really say its an excellent design. I'll go ahead and recommend it, but only for those out there that are bit short on the wallet..
