New Cooler Master HAF 912 Case Countdown

motasim · Aug 20, 2010, 11:52 PM

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

) 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 hope they make it m-atx

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, 12:11 AM

or maybe even a cubed HAF

... 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 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 21, 2010, 11:18 PM

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?

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.

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

(FIH) The Don · Aug 22, 2010, 12:02 AM

not aggressive

but these

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.
