The 912 HAF is a sturdy and rugged mid-tower case that is full of hard angles and bold corners, giving this case quite the military appearance in that no-nonsense, I can eat a tank round manner. Dont let that fool you however, as this case has quite a number of features that I would have only expected in a more expensive full-tower case.

Quote: As I stated in my thoughts on the last page, the addition of two or three more fans to the HAF 912 would certainly improve the cases performance. This case definitely has potential for being a solid performer, it just lacks airflow out of the box from Cooler Master. A side intake fan would help out the GPU and chipset temperatures, while one or two top exhausts would help with the CPU temperature. All of these combined would drop the overall temperature of the case, and therefore drop the hard drive temperature.

While less than a decade ago the name on everyones lips for the highest of the high end gaming chassis would be Coolermaster, in recent years the firm has seen far more competition from the likes of Antec, Thermaltake, Lian Li, NZXT and more. No longer can they ride the coat tales of the much lauded Stacker, they have to diversify. The companys most recent range of cases is known as the HAF series and theres a variety of different models. Today XSReviews is proud to take a peak at an unreleased, low end case known as the HAF 912. Lets see how this semi-budget offering stacks up.
