I happen to like this case. Sure, it needs some tlc to make it more sexy. But for the price, it beats any case out there right now. Show me another case with the same features and same price. I bet you can't.

Hey guys, first post here.

I just finished my new build using the HAF 912 case, and I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. The FULL tower cases would be great for expanding later on down the road but the case does have a fair amount of room inside for its size.
Plus, I was limited on how tall the case could be so the HAF912 fit the build. My temps do stay nice and cool at 28C-30C idle and don't go much past 38C while playing COD for hours straight..

Here are some pics.

I don't get the "overall" hatred of this case as well.

It pretty much can handle everything the larger sized Cooler Master cases can with great cooling in a smaller footprint.

I'm in the market for two more cases to the one HAF912 I already have and to this post haven't placed a system in yet.

I'm debating which other Cooler Master case(s) to get.

Because I'd like a case with great cooling as well as the power button and the rest being on the front and not the very top makes considering other cases tough.

Other than the HAF 912 the rest of the HAF series has some of this on the very top.

The Storm Scout = top
The Storm Sniper = top
690 II = top

I want to be able to have the flexibility to place any case on top of a desk and still be able to easily access the USB's, Power Button, Reset Button and able to see the activity lights. Sure these cases are fine if they're sitting on the floor.

Also debating having a case that can house 200mm fans verses cases only able to house 120mm or 140mm fans to cooling and quietness.

Comments and or recommendations very welcomed.

Ive got a 912 Plus case and I love it. Sure the red fan gets a little old after a month or two of having it but after I figure out how to wire up some rgb leds il be able to choose any colour I like depending on my mood. In terms of it design you cant fault it. Everthing is layed out correctly to allow for good airflow, wire management and it had lots of gaps for fans inc two massive 200mm ones. I even found a use for that sideways slot as my pci bracket fan controller holder.

Is it really HAF as good as it's 'siblings' ?

I really can't for the life of me see what anyone, not even the 10 yr olds who buy them, see in any of the HAF's.

Still it's your money (or mum and dad's in many cases on this forum).
