Coolermaster Storm Enforcer Testing Methodology Since there doesn’t exist a synthetic benchmark for how good cable management is yet, I’m afraid you’ll have to run with my own experiences with the case. Focusing on a few key features, such as strength, noise and cooling and anything else that springs to mind, I’ll run down my views of the chassis and tell you what I think. Results Strength The Enforcer does a very good job in this department – as it should with a name like that. The case’s chassis is incredibly strong, showing just enough flex to mitigate certain stresses, though each side panel is very strong indeed. Each one doesn’t bend at all, with even the relatively weak – in comparison – plastic window showing that it could take a reasonable impact and still protect your internals. While we all like to think of a case as much more than a protective shell for the expensive graphics card, motherboard and extras, this is its main function and the Enforcer does it very well. Noise and Cooling Here again I’m quite happy with what the Enforcer has to offer. It might only have two fans, but it has the wind tunnel system running nicely as there’s an intake and an exhaust. The former is also giant, and looks badass when the system is powered on. On top of this, you have several options for increasing the cooling’s potential. There’s space to add one to the side panel, another 200mm to the roof, and perhaps even replace the rear mounted exhaust with a 120mm radiator for those willing to experiment with water cooling. Noise wise, the basic setup is fine and the average user will have no problems with it. However, anyone that requires an absolutely silent system will want to make sure they invest in a fan controller as at stock, both the front and rear fans do generate a mild whine. There’s also dust filters on all the intakes, something that’s very, very necessary. Features There are several things worth touching on with this case that I’m quite happy with. It has some pretty top notch cable management, with a multitude of holes for routing cables through. Each one has nice rounded edges and they don’t impact the solidity of the motherboard tray, despite their multitude. I’d like to see a bit more room behind the tray, but that’s more about keeping things in traditional ATX form factor than a design error. I really like the clips that hold the 5.25 drives in place. They’re incredibly simple and require very little force to push into place. This makes the swapping in and out of optical drives very quick and since its toolfree, we’ve gotta give it two thumbs up for that. The hard drive cages can be similarly easily removed by pressing a couple of clips, with the storage drives themselves needing to be screwed in to the drive rails; though once they’re there, they can at least be slotted in and out nice and easily. Another thing I really like is the inclusion of the front panel USB 3.0 connectors. These are not rear panel linked like many cases, but real internally plugged USB 3.0. There might not be many motherboards that support this, but this front IO panel is completely future proofed in this respect and that’s a good thing for a case as they arn’t changed very often; even with hardware enthusiasts. While I’d have liked to have seen some tooless clips on the PCI brackets, I can understand why they wern’t utilised; it’s hard to get them right. That said, it’s something to look into for the Enforcer v2. I don’t really care about a dedicated SSD slot, but thankfully Coolermaster include a drive cage converter that allows you slot 2.5″ SSDs into the main cage; giving you the option of using either. Cost I was expecting well over £100 to be the price tag for the Enforcer, but it’s an impressive £70. This isn’t mind blowing and I think it’s well worth it for a mid-range chassis.

LEPAtec LP 301 Tástáil Modheolaíocht Ós rud é nach bhfuil ann tagarmharc sintéiseacha le haghaidh gcaoi a bhfuil bainistíocht cábla maith go fóill, tá mé eagla go mbainfidh tú a reáchtáil le mo thaithí féin leis an gcás. Ag díriú ar roinnt gnéithe tábhachtacha, ar nós torann neart, agus fuarú agus aon rud eile go Springs a intinn, beidh mé ag siúl síos mo thuairimí an chassis agus insint duit cad a cheapann liom. Torthaí Neart Cé nach bhfuil sé ag dul a uaimh i má chuir tú beagán de brú ar sé, nach é seo an cás is láidre amach ann. A chur ar roinnt meáchan ar an bpainéal barr cúiseanna roinnt chassis lúbthachta agus tosaíonn an bpainéal urlár chun inwards Bend beagán. Is féidir na painéil taobh láimhseáil tionchar maith go leor, ach arís dhéanann siad flex faoi bhrú. Níl an LP 301 an cás is measa mé le feiceáil riamh i dtéarmaí neart, ach d'fhéadfadh sé a dhéanamh le beagán de neartú. Chun neart féin, faigheann an imfhálú faoi 6/10. Torann agus Fuarú Bhí mé i ndáiríre go leor tógtha leis an fuaraithe ar an gcás seo. Tá sé seo fuair 5 lucht leanúna ar an iomlán, 3 sceite iontógáil 1, gach meánmhéide nicely. Níl siad ag bogadh ar ammount ollmhór aer ina n-aonar, ach ar fad ba chóir go mbeadh go leor chun a choinneáil ar rudaí cool. Chomh maith leis sin a dhéanann, a luas mall iad a choinneáil go léir ag rith go leor ciúin. Cé nach bhfuil siad go hiomlán adh, go bhfuil siad nach bhfuil impressively bhfad amach. Gnéithe agus gach rud eile Cé go bhfuil siad in úsáid scriúnna traidisiúnta do na lúibíní PCI, an bhfuil LEPAtek bhfuil roinnt scriúnna ordóg deas do na painéil taobh, agus a dhéanann úsáid na tráidirí le haghaidh Cage HDD agus na meicníochtaí gearrthóg le haghaidh an tiomántán optúla an cás toolless den chuid is mó. Má bhí tú ag dul a scriúnna a bheith in áit ar bith, chomh maith, bheadh sé a bheith ar na lúibíní PCI mar is gá iad a shealbhú an meáchan an chuid is mó, agus mar sin Kudos to LEPA do ghearradh siar sna háiteanna cearta. I dtéarmaí bainistíochta cábla, a dhéanann an cás seo go maith go leor le neart poill sa tráidire motherboard go bhfuil gach chothromú imill a sheachnaíonn shearing cábla agus laghduithe finger. Mar sin féin, nach bhfuil a ammount ollmhór de spás taobh thiar de na tráidire agus nach bhfuil chomh maith cutout le haghaidh ionad plátaí LAP tacaíocht with. Níl mé i ndáiríre ar lucht leanúna an barr gléasta PSU, mar má tá tú i ndáiríre trom aonad cuireann sé a lán brú ar an iarainn gléasta; fiú má tá seilf beag a shealbhú suas cuid de na meáchain. Ba mhaith Thaitin sé liom freisin go bhfaca roinnt scagairí deannaigh ar an lucht leanúna taobh iontógáil painéil. Níl aon chúis mhaith cén fáth ar chóir dóibh a bheith fágtha ar lár. Ba mhaith liom a thaitin go bhfuil feicthe USB 3.0 áireamh, ach tá sé seo le chassis bhuiséad ionas tá sé d'fhág intuigthe amach. Costas Tá an cás branda nua go leor i bhfad agus nach bhfuil ag taispeáint suas ar aon suíomh a dhíol go fóill. Bheinn ag súil leis an praghas a bheith thart ar £ 30 cé.
