Cooler Master Releases HAF XB
Cooler Master, an industry leading chassis, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer today unveils the LAN box that takes the form to a whole new height, HAF XB. Packing full ATX motherboard support, modular features, portability, and excellent cooling, HAF XB comes in as the LAN box to beat.
HAF XB takes an innovative diversion from the form factor of its High Air Flow (HAF) brethren. It comes in a LAN box form that pushes the boundaries of size for this category. Ensuring that it continues the tradition of its namesake, HAF XB supports up to two 120mm fans in the front, a large 200mm in the top, and a 120mm and two 80mm fans in the rear. Strategically placed cable tie areas occupy cable routing zones to assist in keeping cable clutter to a minimum and provide a clean look with minimal effort. Steel reinforced handles on the side panels make traveling between LANs and other gaming destinations a far less stressful venture.Geared for Enthusiasts & Overclockers
Built to be attuned with the needs of enthusiasts and extreme overclockers alike, HAF XB transforms effortlessly between LAN box and Test Bench. To accomplish this, a simple removable motherboard tray design is included to make swapping hardware a headache-free experience. Removing the outer shell completes the transformation into a formidable test bench for any cooling need.
Users of all types will enjoy seven expansion slots that offer space for multiple graphics cards setups in NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire to vastly expand the capabilities of a system. Those interested in loading up their mobile fortress can setup a large HDD or SSD array with support for up to six 2.5" drives. This includes dual X-Dock slots for mounting hot-swappable 3.5" or 2.5" drives. A rich front I/O panel offers access to two super speed USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2.0, and audio in and out.
HAF XB, the ultimate combo LAN Box and Test Bench.
HAF XB will be available on November 12th, 2012 in the U.S. and November 26th, 2012 in the E.U. Price and availability may vary by region. Please direct all inquiries to your local Cooler Master Representative.

Looks like a slim 240mm in Push-Pull with a pair of GTX690s
334mm (gpu clearance)
-279.4mm (Geforce 690 length)
-38.3mm (rad depth)
-20mm (fan depth)
= -3.7mm
And good to see ya on Blake. :toast:
I got to wait for my order to cancel on the other case i ordered a couple hours ago.
Thanks for the link t77 :toast:
The pricing looks delicious as well, half the price of the X (not counting special offers/discounts)... (theoretically) 385 RON for the XB vs 770 RON for the X (my country's currency). Only thing I don't understand is how on Earth are those handles practical in caring it, since it's so wide, 2 people?...
