Introduction
Generally, performance and usability sit on opposite ends of a sliding scale. You can buy a Ferrari, but it wouldn't be useful day to day. You could buy a Volvo and give up performance for practicality. In regards to notebook coolers, most products tend to be somewhere along the middle. However, the market niche for a performance-oriented cooler still exists. ASE Labs has Cooler Master's recent entry into that market, the SF-19 Strike Force.

Packaging
The SF-19 comes in a very imposing, very large package. It has a similar design to the rest of the Cooler Master Storm product range, with a primarily black and gray design with red and white accents on the outer portions. The front of the box shows a picture of the cooler from an angle, and it also proudly displays the USB 3.0 functionality.
The rear of the box shows a small spec list, as well as another picture of the cooler.
The packaging is a hinged design, with a small plastic window underneath. The inside flap also has a more detailed inventory of the features and specifications.
