Great First Case

This was the first case I have ever used to build a computer. I watched a lot of how to videos and builds on youtube and after watching some tricky builds in cases that were designed without a builder in mind I settled on the HAF 912. It is quite large for a Mid ATX case, but that is not a downside in my opinion. It was really nice to build in, cable management was a breeze and on the back of the MoBo tray there are plenty of tie offs for zip ties to keep your cables flat. There is also a generous amount of room between the MoBo tray and side panel. My first PSU was non modular, so that made cable management tricky, but I was able to stick the extra cables in the SSD bay on the bottom of the case, which actually made it look really clean. The air flow is awesome, it keeps my system cool under full load, CPU and GPU both. Great if you want to air cool your system and large enough to eventually water cool in the future. The fan set up options are extensive and a Cooler Master 212 EVO fits with room to spare. I also like that you are able to, either remove, or turn the middle HDD bay. I turned mine to allow a bigger opening for the 200mm fan up front and it also hides the cables that are routed down the back. It is also very sturdy and has traveled from my house to video game sessions at my buddies place, it has not been dropped, but it still felt sturdy when carrying it to and from my car.

So far the only flaw I have found is that the left side panel (facing the case head on) has started making a random vibrating sound when it bumps against the front plastic piece. This problem was easily remedied by some black electrical tape on the inside edge, completely invisible on the outside.

Overall I am very happy with this case and I would recommend it to anyone.
