Inappro
Only seven expansion slots
Includes 2x 120mm fans
Not a "true" test bench
None
Fans suck in dust
Depending on PSU design it can be difficult to install
Not exactly quiet
No fan grills on fans
Only space for two 3.5″ drives
Not as accessible as pure test benches
2.5" bays hard/nearly impossible to fill
No USB 2.0 - may be of interest for testers
Screw-less system does not work that well for ODDs
No dust filter on some intake fan locations
Rear motherboard area recessed
Only two front USB ports
Only seven PCI slots
No easy way to accomodate nonoptical drive devices in 5.25" bays
Takes up a lot of room on your desk
Must remove front panel to clean its dust filter
Still big and bulky. Only two 3.5" bays. Heat management not its strongest suit.
Finition, Concept intéressant, Fonctionnalités, Plateau CM Amovible, Hot Swap, Prix
Bruit en 12 volts, Seulement ATX/7 slots
Tout d'abord, parlons du concept. A la base, Cooler Master veut nous proposer un boitier qui fait aussi table de bench. Sur ce point, nous ne trouvons pas vraiment que le HAF XB remplisse son office, car les composants du bas ne sont pas forcément des ...
Il montaggio dei componenti in questo HAF XB è risultato davvero molto semplice. Sarà necessario prima connettere le unità nel piano inferiore con la relativa cablatura. Quindi alimentatore, hard disk, unità ottiche e relativi cavi. Anche con grandi ingom...

Pochi slot per unità di storage da 3,5", Mancanza viti tool-less per scheda madre, Solo due ventole in dotazione ma è un peccato veniale, Si ringrazia per il sample fornitoci, Seguite il Thread Ufficiale sul nostro forum, Edoardo Giampietro - Slime - Adm

Design, Qualità dei materiali, Silenziosità
Gestione non ottimale degli spazi inferiori
Cooler Master continua ad arricchire la linea di case "HAF" con nuove ed interessanti proposte come il nuovo HAF XB, dai noi recensito quest'oggi. Un LAN Box ed un Bench Table racchiusi in un'unica struttura in acciaio SECC, con le tipiche finiture della...
Einzigartiges Design, Einfache Hardwareinstallation, Auch "bedingt" als Benchtable nutzbar, HotSwapSystem, Mainboardschlitten entfernbar
Fehlende eSATA Ports, Lüfter ziemlich laut, Nur zwei 3,5,Laufwerkseinschübe
Sind wir nicht schon ein wenig gelangweilt von Standard Gehäusen und dessen Form? Das liegt sicherlich immer im Auge des Betrachters. Cooler Master hat es jedenfalls geschafft, was neuartiges zu entwickeln (mit zweierlei Funktionen) ......

Mit dem HAF XB liefert Cooler Master einen kleinen, unorthodoxen Geniestreich. Das Gehäuse ist extrem vielseitig und kann ebenso als Basis für eine Teststation oder den extremen Übertaktungseinsatz unter Rückgriff auf LN2-Pötte genutzt werden, wie als Beh...
Nach dem Test kann man sagen, dass das HAF-XB wohl einen potenten Familienzuwachs der HAF-Serie darstellt. Sowohl design- als auch leistungstechnisch kann dieses Modell mit den starken Ablegern der Baureihe mithalten und bietet darüberhinaus zahlreiche...
