Interesting point. Isn't this a flaw in the HAF932, as well?

They do have 2 12cm fan brackets on the back of the drive cage, though, for what that's worth.

Also, Buy.com and FrozenCPU have the case in stock. Probably shouldn't be linking like that since my dad has hinted he may get it for me as a Christmas present (which would save me a nice amount on my next build), and as such would need it in stock to order, but I'm feeling nice.

Slight bump here; Newegg now has the ATCS 840 in stock.

Black.

Silver.

$31.37 shipping to me is murderous... but then I expected that.

I see where Cooler Master was going with this. The HAF is very successful in terms of performance but there are a lot of people out there, or at least it seems, that don't like the styling.

So what now? Follow along the lines of Silverstone and Lian Li and make an upper-class tower with aluminum and minimalistic design. Now it aesthetically it appeals to the masses.

I with they could have found a way to integrate the HAF's side fan though. I'm sure with a little tinkering it could have been done but I guess that's just my assumption.

I had this case for a good while and it was such a joy. Everyone that saw my computer called it "The Tank" because they loved the beefy looks of it. I found the case to be very easy to work with...

I run 2 of these in my Quad-SLI rig. 0 coil whine... Software has worked well for me, not without "some" problems but, not a bad experience, either. When I called in about my issues (I purchased...

Okay. So I am kind of a nerd for finding computer cases and what I think looks good and matches peripherals and such. Many people don't pay attention to these things but I happen to and I'm glad I...
