After using the HAF X for sometime now, I can easily say that this case is not just an improvement upon the original design, but one that is very well deserving to the be the new face of the HAF series. A few of the main factors that drew so many enth...

Answering that last question, all I can come up with is a resounding Yes! - I don’t even have the fully functional version of the HAF-X and I for one am already sold. Keeping with the cooling power that we all loved from the earlier HAF cases and be...
Gigantic space – XL-ATX and E-ATX compatible, Great thermal performance, Expandability, Plenty of options for cable management, Good value for money choice

Abstract: Here we are again with another Cooler Master review, and today sees us looking at one of the most widely talked about cases from the guys at CM. The HAF X is not only the biggest case in the HAF series but is currently one of the largest cases in the whol...
It is clear as soon as the HAF X is removed from its packaging that this is a serious case. The Steel body gives it a good weight and very solid feeling body. Then we have the rugged styling which very much stands out from the crowd and this mixed wit...
Redonkulous cooling, Feature-laden, Gotham City visuals
Some design elements get in the way
