Cooler Master HAF XM Review

Value & Conclusion

  • The Cooler Master HAF XM goes for 100 USD + Taxes or 120 Euro. Due to the currency difference, you should expect the chassis to drop in the Euro price well below 100 Euro soon after launch.
  • Solid construction
  • Dual hot-swap bays
  • 2.5" SSD slot on side of motherboard tray
  • Two 200 mm fans included
  • PSU cover to hide cable mess
  • LED on/off switch
  • Plenty of space for cables on the sides
  • Little space to keep your valuables on top
  • Radiators should fit in top panel
  • Separate, screw-less hard drive bays
  • Big difference in pricing (USD and Euro). Pricey in Euro
  • Less detailed design than original HAF
  • Windowed version to cost 10 USD / 10 Euro more
  • No 3.5 inch bay
  • No proper dust filter for PSU bay
  • PSU bay cover adds a bit to the assembly time
Cooler Master HAF XM is quite the solid chassis, but it lacks the pep of the original series. You will get all the usual features found in a case of this price range, including USB 3.0, screw-less systems for the hard drive and optical ones, plenty of space to route and hide cables, along with ample space to hold even the biggest coolers and longest graphics cards. Cooler Master tries to break the boundaries a bit, by offering two hot-swap bays and the PSU bay cover on top to sway costumers to look its way. But besides that, there is not really a lot to make the HAF XM stand out, but those who do decide to go with the chassis certainly will not regret it.
