The enclosure that an enthusaiast chooses is based on many factors. Long gone are the days of the plain old beige computer case. Modders have spoken and manufactures have listened. Computer cases today offer so many different choices and features and this has been the norm for a while now. Most cases include front USB and audio. While others include carrying handles, windows, lighing, etc. Modern computer cases offer both form and function as well as a quick modded look. One of the most important factors, as far as I am concerned is function, such as cable management, cooling, as well as looks.

Today we have on the bench the CoolerMaster Storm Stryker. This case features a comfortable carrying handle, side panel window, as well as it is watercooling ready and in my opinion the appearance makes me think on an Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars. Let's take a look shall we?

There is no one part that can make a PC great; all the components have to work together in perfect harmony in order for a PC to reach maximum performance. While it is difficult to put a finger on just one part, in my opionion, ranked equally with the processor is the motherboard in terms of the most important components. While there isn't just one component that can make a great PC, one faulty or sub standard component can be detrimental. The motherboard facilitates all communication between the different componenets, so if the motherboard isn't on par, the PC will never reach is potential, as the saying goes: "If mamma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
