HAFBeast

Rig type Gaming Rig
Description Built in November 2011, my first full build. Had a budget in mind for a while, hard drive prices shot up, found a way to get a free copy of Windows and that helped to keep my budget in line. ($1200 spent at this time) Later added a side door with a window, 4 fans with LEDs. I bought a SSD for the disk caching for $55. ($1355 for all the goodies). After a while, I sold the SSD (I wanted something bigger, and I was needing some cash anyway) for $30 when the drives were available after rebate for $50. Tried Windows 8 on October 27th, dual booted it and 7 and then loved 8 once I removed Metro, so now only running Windows 8.

hey, I have a HAF 912 standard. I noticed the cooler master store no longer has the acrylic transparent window side panels... do you know if I can use another side panel or where I can purchase the 912 version you have?
What was you take on the window? I am about to order one for my daughters rig. Thanks
Sorry for not posting something back sooner. Doesn't show up in my activity or anything. Eh, Window is nice, seems to show off a lot of the gray area around your case. It was a bit expensive after shipping. I like that you can still put a 120 on the window.

Honestly, if you want a window, don't get the HAF 912 Plus. After you add a window... and fans with LEDs... it is about the same price as a much nice CM case. The enforcer, or the Storm Scout 1 or 2.
