Pictures of Cooler Master's upcoming Sniper case, which is part of the new Storm brand, have made their way onto the Internet, thanks to a snap happy journalist over at PCGamesHardware.

The new case, which is according to our sources, expected to retail for US$149 (we don't have the European price as yet), looks somewhat different to what we're used to seeing from Cooler Master and it has a few new features as well.

It has four 5.25-inch drive bays as well as a front-mounted 3.5-inch drive bay and five internal 3.5-inch drive bays. The front and sides are made of a mesh material with quite large holes in it, which we presume is meant to improve the airflow.

It has a set of top-mounted ports which consist of USB, FireWire, eSATA and a headphone and mic jack, as well as a large knob that is connected to a fan controller. The side of the case will house a 200mm fan, which should allow for some serious cooling power.

Looking around the back, you'll see that it has a bottom-mounted PSU and a large rear fan, which we guess is 120mm, as well as a hole for watercooling pipes to go through and a vertical rear slot which can either be used for motherboard brackets or a new upcoming accessory from Cooler Master that isn't a fan.
