COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 Black Steel/ Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Comment:
Case is your Regular Enormous case, It does have two swappable HDD slots in the front, Fantastic IO on the front, and capable to turn of LED's to the front fan close to the reset switch on major. Plenty of room inside for the largest of video cards and any cooler that you can assume of. Cable management is fantastic, a lot of methods to hide these cables. Quite Quite when running. CPU cutout in tray is in wrong spot, reset switch is to close and looks like the LED switch. Coming from a Cooler Master Cosmo case I would say I am disappointed with the fit of the case. The sides seem incredibly flimsy in comparison, you could bend them with your hands. Could use a tiny far more space behind the Motherboard tray for cables, but it does work with a little moving around. The two front swappable drive bay on mine necessary some adjusting when I used it the initial time. The drives would not seat till I adjusted the back plane. The GPU deflector did not operate with my motherboard ASUS P67 deluxe. The X16 PCIE slot was to high for the deflector to be installed. The cover plate for the cables from the Power supply needs to be rethought out. If you want to add far more cables to a modular power provide you may have to unhook all the cables that you at the moment have to do that since the hole they give is completly enclosed. I am not done with Cooler Master, but in light of all the obvious flaws in this case I wonder and hope that they spend a lot more interest to the details and QA of future instances coming from the lines.

Comment:
Situation is Massive. Comes with a boatload of accessories. The motherboard spacer assisting socket is ingenious. It's nicely built, has two hot swap bays up front, offers you a child adapter for SSD's on the side if you want, has the space to hold the biggest of video cards, gives fantastic airflow. The cable management program is definitely remarkable. Nice array of IO possibilities up front. This infant has tons of expansion bays, and the toolless HDD and five.25 bays are spectacular. This situation isn't with out flaws, some of which are really annoying. The largest one is the cutout to access the rear of the motherboard following its installed. There's a window there, but the size and position of the window is as such to where you can't fully access the area about the CPU. This proved to be a real annoyance for me, since I built out a new machine and went to place my Corsair H70 cooler on the CPU, only to discover I had to take the entire issue apart since the window for the rear of the board didn't give me sufficient access to get the rear bracket ratcheted in.The 2 frontside USB 3. inputs don't wire into the motherboard proper. You have to run them out the back of the case and into USB ports in the board. When working with a huge video card like my HD 6950, you have to take the GPU reflector off, due to the fact the card won't fit otherwise. It states you can install a 2nd fan up major, but you can't put a fan up there and run the wires from the front IO panel. It's either/or. This is a great situation, but it's got some relatively apparent design flaws. The improper cutout to access the back of the CPU region on the motherboard is a real chore. The wheels it comes with are low-cost. 1 of the hot swap bays *really* doesn't want to slide in and out like it's supposed to. If you want clean cabling, you're going to have to purchase a number of cable extenders, but that's just life with a big situation.

COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 Black Steel/ Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Cons:Flimsy stock fans except for the frontNo fan provided for video card duct or VGA mountDust filters that only stop large insects

Pros:Large caseGreat airflow as advertisedLots of space for wires and good management
Comment:
Let me say right off that despite my cons, I am extremely pleased with this case. Great room and management makes for a great case for my build, and would definitely another one like this when I build my pc in the futureOf particular note was the mounting area especially for lagre radiators. I have a corsair H100 mounted in a push/pull system and it works perfectlyKeep in mind though you will want to purchase fans to replace the stock ones. They are somewhat flimsy, and the blades aren't well desinged for good airflow

Comment:
Big, spacious, quiet, lots of drive bays and expansion prospective, very good airflow, front removable bays and casters that make it simpler to move than smaller cases that have to be picked up. This is nearly a fantastic situation, nonetheless there are some really serious drawbacks. 1). The cutout for accessing the back of the CPU is not large enough or properly positioned for a number of the high-end SandyBridge MB's, negating the complete function and forcing one to remove the MB just to adjust the CPU cooler. That's unforgiveable on a case of this calibre and, two). No connectors for employing internal USB 3. headers are supplied meaning after shopping for CM's newest generation case you still have to resort to a clumsy arrangement of running your three. cables out the back of the situation. When this machine was very first powered up a loud scraping noise emanated from the side door. Turns out the dust filter was not installed flat so the fan motor blades scrape against it. Had to get rid of the fan assembly and straighten out the dust filter. I'm not deducting for this as it was a challenge I could right. Nonetheless I am deducting for lack of foresight of how significant to make the CPU cutout for major tier MB's and for not anticipating people today would want a appropriate answer for MB's with USB 3. headers.If it were not for the two troubles cited above the HAF X would very easily be a single of my favored all time circumstances. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Since there is no normal on the placement of the cpu socket, it tends to be in distinct positions depending on the motherboard manufacturer and socket. The hole in the situation will match most motherboards, but not all. USB three. is a new technologies. It was finalized only not too long ago with the internal header. Cooler Master will not let Haf X buyers hanging. We will provide the updated cable when it is readily available. If you would like more information on either the hole or the three. updated cable, please get in touch with us through the Live Chat link below.

-incredibly great hunting situation, the whole point is painted so keeps a nice clean appear.-the cpu cutout on the back saved alot of time mounting a h70 to my i7 950. -two front usb three. is gonna be good in the future. -the included air duct for the graphics cards helps maintain my two gtx 480's alot cooler after i installed a 110 cfm scythe fan. -the cable management is incredible i was capable to hide all cables, also the cover for the energy supply goes a extended way to help. -i am disappointed with how thin the side panels are, didnt quit any of the annoying h70 fan sound, had to replace individuals fans with some scythe ap-29's. -the primary side panel does not slide into place freely the leading edge had to be bent slightly to do so. -the fan shroud for the side 200mm intake hits the energy cables on my sli 480's using the integrated graphics card air duct. incredibly great situation general but should be priced 20-30 bucks decrease IMO

Cons:None

Pros:Fits water cooled setups very wellNice and heavy by itselfLooks awesome
Comment:
This was purchased for a machine my cousin and I built. The case is incredibly well-made, and has plenty of space for the water-cooled setup he wanted. The case alone is quite hefty, and has that solid presence so many lack nowadays. It also looks great, especially with the whackload of red LEDs we put into it - it now screams tactical ops, which suits his current addiction to FPS titles. This will definitely be my next case when getting a new machine.

-Situation is extremely large. -Adequate room to perform with and delivers adequate cooling for my i7-2600k and GTX560ti. -High quality of the situation is excellent and the pictures on newegg doesn't justify what it looks like in person result in its crazy great. -Didn't come with regular stand feet. The wheels are good and all but look ugly in IMO. For the price tag of the situation it should of came with height adjustable rubber feet like the haf 932. Don't believe twice about acquiring it. Just do it, I believed lengthy about it and missed out on getting it for a superior price when it was on sale on Newegg.

Comment:
Substantial, extremely big. Fortunately for me, it nonetheless has two cm. worth of clearance beneath my desk. The front panel LED's shine nicely and the case emits a great red glow in the night hours. The case window on the side is extremely good for showing off as well as enabling light from my fans inside to illuminate the room as well.Inside there is plenty of space for the largest of graphics cards, quickly fits the ASUS DCII 570 which requires three expansion slots. Optional 120mm mounting holes on the back permitted for uncomplicated installation of the Corsair H70.Motherboard tray itself has installation holes for Micro ATX, ATX, and ATX-XL, a quite nice function, particularly those who plan on upgrading to larger motherboards in the future. Behind the motherboard tray, there is enough space for even the clumsiest of cable management people, (i.e. Myself). Grommets are high excellent.Tricky Drive and Optical Bay installation was a snap, literally. Leads from the front panel make installation of a second 200mm fan at the leading a tiny tricky, but do-capable. The HAF X was the initial situation I've ever utilised to create my own computer system. I couldn't think about how tough it would be without it. By far the ideal investment of my complete create.If you are a initial time personal computer builder and are taking this situation into consideration, I would undoubtedly say you've reached the very best option.

This awsome situation can fit something you throw at it period! It has lots of space to maintain air flow freely and hold your Computer cool. It looks so futuristic and attractive. :) Not to mention the chassis fans are so quiet that I can't barely hear them in full silence place. Pretty heavy, but that's why it has wheels if you want to mount it...:) Highly Suggested if you want to develop an extreme gaming Computer!

Wonderful airflow and Massive! RMA'd 1st one given that it was in fact opened and there had been two motherboard standoffs installed already. That's a fail...It price two eggs for definately a five egg product!! Make confident you get a "new" situation, not an open box.

Lots of room and upgrades. Really like the USB three. and have a 1366 mother board with an i7 cpu in it and just alot of room for any enormous fans and later upgrades.Will have this situation for extended time. Little red light in front and all prepared to add water cooling in future. Does not feel low cost. Super nice none so far Watch a few youtube videos on case. Assists you out with cable managment and a quick refresher

Size, Fans, possibilities, color, front panel, protected energy switch, looks, fit n finish. pretty substantially every little thing except the casters, really low-cost. low cost casters like the situation. significant, outstanding workmanship, inside is black, many choices for either water cooling, air or both. high flow 200mm fans with a couple of possibilities for add in fans. adjustable video card support, and so forth, and so on. wonderful case. the only problem for me was the casters. place them on, rolled my situation, wheel of one particular fell off. inspected it, reinstalled it, same issue. place in a parts request with cool master, never heard anything back. ended up ordering ball Ball Casters, Style F to install on this situation (if you do this you will have to drill out a 1ǚ hole in the middle exactly where the casters go. no major deal.)

This situation is huge! Lots of space for significant video cards and liquid cooling. Looks good, and the good quality, fit and finish is standard Coolermaster. This is going to be my very first construct with SLI and liquid cooling, so I'll update when I have a probability to test all when carried out. None whatsoever

Big. Tons of room for tons of stuff. Easy cable managment, excellent cooling. Big. I don't care but be sure to check the measurements, this factor is a beast. The front IO wanting to route the usb3 cables out the back and plug in to the rear is a stupid style function. I feel gigabyte makes a mobo adapter for it. Doesn't come with all readily available fans, doesn't mention that the recommended fan for the gpu shroud is 150cfm. (my 133cfm functions fine with my three gtx 580's.) The rear mobo access panel isn't even close to big adequate/in the right spot. i7 2600kasus maximus iv mobowin7 64xzalman cnps9900max cpu cooler16gig 1866hrz gksill3x evga gtx580 sc128gig plextor ssdall the added fans/rheosmart 6 controllercpu idles 32c, max 60cgpu's idle 30-35c max 82c

Good situation, capable to deal with all present and future builds For a higher finish situation I was shocked to see manufacturer flaws such as the front panel honeycomb grill had a couple of holes that were misshapen and not correctly punched out. Doesnt impact the situation but shows the top quality handle procedures are minimal which could lead to other places being deficient. Newegg awesome as always. UPS had the order in their hands within 6 hours of ordering. The box this situation is packaged in is simply glued together and not heavy duty stapled like a lot of manufacturers will do. This problem combined with Newegg merely affixing shipping labels onto the box rather than putting it in a shipping box triggered the package to arrive split open. Minimal surface scratch noted but not worth RMA'ing.

This situation is Huge. It's got a lot of space for cable management and any graphics card you throw at it. The High Air Flow design is no joke either, this is totally a cool situation both figuratively and literally. The tool much less locking bays are nice but for me personally not as stable as I would have hoped. I have a NZXT fan controller in the top 5.25 bay and without screwing in some screws on the back side it moves way as well considerably when pushing buttons. I am sure for dvd drives it's excellent enough. I would have liked to have seen the other fans in this situation be red led like the front. I need to have payed far more interest when I purchased it but fans are cheap I will obtain some replacements.

Spacious, tool cost-free design and style, hot swappable drive bays, good airflow, looks mean, nicely created (mostly, see Cons). The wheels it comes with are garbage. 1 of the wheels fell apart into pieces when rolling it on a smooth floor to move it from 1 room to one more. I ended up getting to eliminate all 4 wheels which truly sucks. Other than garbage wheels that fall apart, this is by far the finest case I've ever owned or even seen (the Lanboy Air from Antec comes close, but I nonetheless like this one much better).
