Conclusion:
We at Overclockers Tech find this chassis wonderful to work with. It is rare for a case at this price to be able to fit a water cooling radiator (as large as a 360mm) without having to ‘modify’ the chassis. Additionally, with a small amount of modification a second radiator (a 240mm) can be added to enable a dual loop system. Although the case is made from steel, the quality of the case is still apparent.
The top panel, where the power on/reset switches are, is easy to access and includes a slide cover for any unwanted use. Internally the Haf-x has a lot to brag about with its wire management system and hot swappable bays. Although for some reason Coolermaster has not made the presence of a system of managing the eight-pin EPS connector. This is partly caused by the manufacturing of the CPU inspection hole a little too large. The only other flaw we found is the use of ‘castor wheels’ as not everyone installs the case underneath their desk and some people like to have their computer on the desk in order to ‘show off’ their system, this is in addition to some bare wires (instead of being braided) In this case (pardon the pun) some people may say that ‘it is a computer not a luggage trolley.’
We also like the ‘hot-swap’ bay feature which will come in very handy for the enthusiast sector of the market. Having said the former we feel that the Coolermaster HAF-X really is a quality case and has some outstanding features. When we give a product a gold we at Overclockers Tech like to see some truly creative features and Coolermaster have certainly achieved this. It is our pleasure to give the HAF-X a 9/10 award and therefore a gold.
