The thing that bothers me most is that I still can't decide if friends who see this case will think it's built for teenagers (i'm in my twenties). But it's also one of the only reasonably priced cases I can find here in China. The other haf cases just appear too big for my needs and they are 30 to 40% more expensive that what you buy em for in the USA.

Don't judge it by the pictures, It's a large case (the pics don't do it justice), and while not sleek as mentioned earlier, it's just got that "look" like its hiding real power in there.
Exactly. I've got my 912 and 932 next to each other under my desk, can't help but grin when I look down there. Knowing what's inside helps too

I would love to see a photo of your haf912 next to something I know the scale of, such as a can of coca cola
It's so hard to decide between a full tower like haf x or a tiny one like 912. I think the future of desktop computing will be most people just having 1 gpu on standard atx mobo or even matx, so i'm leaning towards something small like 912.

The HAF x and Storm Trooper are both basically 100$ more. So is that extra space worth the double price...
