Cooler Master HAF 912

The mid-tower HAF 912 is already selling for $59.99. Bearing a striking resemblance to the 922, the 912 is only marginally narrower and shorter at 19" x 9" x 19.5". However the 912 deviates from previous HAF models in other ways, such as losing some of the tool-less capabilities, while picking up support for 2.5" drive mounting, a popular option of SSD use. Air flow is also somewhat reduced, with only two 120mm fans included, rather than the large 200mm ones we've grown used to seeing in the HAF series.

The Cooler Master HAF 912 creates a new spot at the lower range of cases available in the HAF series. Although seemingly stripped down to the bare essentials, the 912 still shares the rugged good looks and high cooling potential of its larger siblings...

From a distance, the HAF 912 looks like someone got one of those ultra-chunky rubber iPhone cases, stuck it in the expander-matron, and stretched it around a PC case. Sadly, the HAF is made of plastic, not rubber, but it still looks like it could take...

Cooler Master's HAF 912 has proven to be a worthy addition to the HAF legacy, providing a budget, mid-tower chassis entry into the series with design elements and features seldom found in its price niche. While users will need to add a fan or two to...

In summary, Cooler Master's 912 HAF is quite the exceptional little case. For a mid-tower it is capable of comfortably stuffing a crazy number of hard drives and other hardware under the hood. Some of the clearances on the SSD's cage and the...

One of the issues with modern computers has been airflow and cooling. The latest generation of NVIDIA video cards, the GeForce GTX480 has been jokingly referred to as the graphics card that can fry an egg. CPUs are getting increasingly large amounts...

Aesthetically speaking, the HAF 912 is very similar to its other siblings, and either you like the aggressive styling or you don’t. There are obviously some folks waning on fence, but I personally think this style is appealing to the gamer crowd...

The HAF 912 was designed to give you the best bang for your buck when it came to features and performance. While the HAF has the capabilities to support the latest features, it lacks some visual appearance. The case was specifically designed for this...

The HAF 912 is an well engineered case that honestly does not deserve the "budget" moniker, but it's pricing will put it there. It frankly has many features found on higher end cases that cost much more money. It's aggressive design and...

As I stated in my thoughts on the last page, the addition of two or three more fans to the HAF 912 would certainly improve the case's performance. This case definitely has potential for being a solid performer, it just lacks airflow out of the box...
