Coolermaster Stryker

FAIL_bro777 · January 15, 2015

I was just wondering if anyone else has the Coolermaster Stryker case and what they're thoughts are on it?

I'm planning on buying this case as part of my upgrade project for my PC, I will be air cooling it until i can put together a water cooling set up. The pump/reservoir im planning to use is bay mounted, however, and I was wondering if this case has enough room for that, plus future hard drive expansion.

It'll be a custom loop with two radiators, one single and one double (both 120mm slimline models), so this also rises the question, are the mount points sufficient? I know through looking at some reviews that there is a removable SSD/HDD rack at the base on the tower just behind the main drive mount points (which also is the location of the 3rd radiator mount point, interchangeable) but no review actually shows this case in a set up which could mount a radiator and a bay mounted pump/res.

So in conclusion, will this case support a custom loop with a single AND and a double rad, plus a bay mounted pump/res combo (taking up two bay slots)?

Thanks

note: I know watercooling is over kill for the set up i have but I plan on continually upgrading, plus overclocking a Phenom II will cause alot of heat, more than a reasonably priced air cooler (I've been lead to believe anyway,)

Heres the case link, can someone suggest/forward this to Linus to review/do a build in? Would be awesome for like a design studio computer or something.

I'm not a fan of the looks, but that shouldn't affect your decision. Cooler Master is a good case brand so it should be a good case. I'm using a Cooler Master HAF 932 and it's great.
