Cooler Master's HAF X Chassis Looks Rad
Print
Cooler Master appears to have kicked things up a notch with its new HAF X, the latest iteration of the original HAF chassis we awarded a 9/Kick Ass verdict back in late 2008.
Targeted at the performance oriented crowd, the HAF X receives a slightly modern makeover with a pair of USB 3.0 ports on the front I/O panel, an air duct to cool your graphics cards, and nine slots to support up to three videocards. Cooler Master also upped the cooling ante with room for up to 2 top-mounted 200mm fans (one comes standard) instead of just one.
Other features include a SATA Dock for easy installation without removing the side panel, a front mounted 230mm red LED fan, side mounted 200mm fan, rear mounted 140mm fan, removable wheels, a power supply partition, support for long graphics cards such as the Radeon HD 5970, a GPU holder to reinforce heavy GPUs, all black interior, and cable grommets to help keep everything tidy.
The case will be available soon for $200.

Nice to see they finally colored the interior black as well! Looks to be a great new HAF design, but I am not so sure about the $200 price point! Although the original HAF 932 was about $160, and the X having the black interior may make up the $40 difference. The front 3.5" drive bay is nice however I do not see any mention of it being a "hot swapable" bay.

umm if there are 9 expansion slots then couldnt you put in 4 video cards and still have a slot left? with a bit of tinkering you could probably do 4-way crossfire/sli and still put in a sound card.

I'll wait for the review before making a decision. Though the USB 3.0 ports will be handy

I love the HAF cases, I use both a 932 and a 922, but $200 seems a little bit steep for the X... looks wicked though
