New Cooler Master HAF 912 Case Countdown

motasim · Aug 21, 2010

Cooler Master is to announce the new HAF 912 Case on 05.09.2010 as per their countdown page

Anybody knows anything about this case? Will it be a Mini-Tower MicroATX case? (I hope :respect:

) since they are saying "when size doesn't matter" so logically it should be smaller than it's elder sister the HAF 922 which is a Midi-Tower ATX case, right?

I'm thinking it will be something like the NZXT Vulcan but with the highly regarded HAF styling, features, and build quality.

Should be pretty stinkin cool. The HAF X is awesome, hopefully this will be too.

(FIH) The Don · Aug 21, 2010

or maybe even a cubed HAF :eek:

... by that you've summarized the perfect case for my upcoming m-ATX gaming rig, I hope that Cooler Master don't fail us ...

If this happens it would be a shame

Any other ideas for an aggressive-looking mini-tower m-ATX case? or should I just wait for NZXT to build the Vulcan 2 and fix all the flaws of the original?

... I finally found it! see this ...

I have to agree, it looks damn ugly, and nothing like the HAF-X as I was hoping. I thought that this case will turn out to be the NZXT Vulcan killer, but it seems that I was too hopeful. Any ideas for an aggressive-looking mini-tower micro-atx gaming case?

(FIH) The Don · Aug 22, 2010

if they had kept the styling of the 922 and made it m-atx then it would have been nice

edit, look at the nzxt volcan/vulcan

What's wrong with the Vulcan?

What's wrong with the Vulcan?

1) Many limitations on the aftermarket CPU coolers that can be installed.
2) Allows for only 80/92mm rear fan and not 120mm fan, so I can't install the Corsair H70.
3) Bad paint quality, since coating is easily peels off (as reported).
4) Doesn't allow for the installation of a standard 200mm fan on the side panel, and forces you to buy the non-standard NZXT 200mm white fan, which is ugly.
5) The MoBo is too close to the top two exhaust fans.

there is the panzerbox though

Nice, but not a Micro-ATX case, which is what I'm looking for.

Huh Budget? its like £85 in the UK thats like midrange, low high end. My case the K-62 is about £80. 922 is a decent case though depends a lot on what looks you like.

Wonder what this will be like.
