Cooler Master HAF X Case Review

    I'm rocking a 932 case right now and it doesn't appear as though they've fixed the single biggest flaw about the previous iteration... the dust. Can you please give me some dust filters? Please? The thing is like a vacuum. I have to clean it all the time.

    Also, I see no reason to spend the extra 70 dollars. The 932 is all the case you'll ever need.

    One other thing... Why no removable motherboard tray? Seriously.

    hi fizzle,
    I don't get it, why don't you guys put filters on the 932 if you want them?

    if they had a removable mb tray and filters, it would not be a $130 case any longer.

    lol moving from the 932 to the X is a rather worthless decision imho, especially considering the chassis itself is nearly identical. i like the visual design of the 932 better anyways, though the top of the X looks a bit more unique and i really like the interior paint as a standard option.

    The HAF-X makes more sense (over the 932) if the user is planning a build around some increased connectivity, such as a mobo with USB 3.0, and/or using the added PCI expansion slots -either for fan controller, eSATA/Firewire/USB brackets or multiple graphics cards and the use of SSD's without having to use adapters. With the high end desktop motherboards now firmly moving into outsize E-ATX, WATX, XL-ATX and HPTX pcb's there's a certain cachet in having a chassis capable of housing these boards.

    True, I see the board is mounted higher on the x, would have saved me having to change to a top mount PSU to add a 4th card for physx., and move fans around etc, on my 932 .

    I have a HAF 932 and I totally love it. This will be my next case for sure.

    I'm not convinced this is worth the 50% premium over the HAF 932... 3.5in to 2.5in bay converters hardly cost anything, USB 3.0 hasn't taken off and the original HAF 932 looked pretty good anyway.

    I still own my silverstone tj07 which is the best full tower case available now imo.

    I am going to use this case on my next build it is an amazing case and btw is only $179 right now on newegg. Also the HAF 932 comes in two different versions now the unpainted one for a little less and an all black interior for a little more not much though and there both amazing cases. I love coolermaster cases a ton but am currently using the antec 900 which is a good midtower case IMO.

    I am using a local made case for the computer because it comes with the power supply & cooling placed well so that you can keep adding or removing components easily & it does not bruise or scratch my hands & fingers.
    Last but the most important reason probably the most cheapest available case.This one looks a beauty though nothing compared to mine but it does not matter how it looks from the outside it just needs to be powerful inside.
  12. The HAF932 has at least one advantage over the HAF/X and that is the ability to put the power supply on top if you choose or like mine put the ps on top and have a dual 120 fan radiator inside the case.. everything is inside and works great.. temps on an lightly OCed AMD 955 black is running 30C idle and at fully load 38C.. no fancy uber radiator and turbojet fans just quiet running and i am very happy with this case.. would like to see the 932 updated with optional front panel and drive mounts but as it stands its a beast of a case and the X appears to be a back step. Just my 2 Cents.
