Here's the link for the review for the new CM Storm Trooper. What do you guys think? Also, could DS maybe incorporate this case in their line-up?

You can request whatever case you like, but I like the haf x better, I rather have big top fans then fans on the bottom.

If I'm reading right, the trooper has 1 200mm fan and the option of 2 fans at the bottom. Will that not bring similar performance to the had x case?

I don't find blowing air from the bottom with 120mm case to be the same as having two 200mm fans on top sucking all the rising hot air out.

the trooper is a bigger case and has good airflow, if I'm not mistaken it might have more airflow but with smaller louder fans, I prefer the have the fans setup like haf x tho, one on front blowing air in, one on side blowing air in over gpus/mobo, and 2 on top sucking air out, all four 200mm fans or bigger. tho two 120mm fans more little more air then 200mm fan, they do it louder and if the 200mm does the job and more quietly, then why bother with more noise.

touche' sir. But I wonder if it would be possible to mod the case and get it so you can install 200mm fans on top, bottom, side and front. That would be pretty cool.

Yes and no, you would have cut out space for the 200mm fan and after all the money and mod you will endup pretty much with haf 942 air flow.
