Cooler Master Intros HAF-X NVIDIA Edition Case

[btarunr]

Things are looking upbeat at NVIDIA, and to feed that, Cooler Master is out with its latest NVIDIA-themed case, the HAF-X NVIDIA Edition. The company is known for making a wide range of cases themed after the GPU giant. The HAF-X NVIDIA Edition uses the HAF-X design overall, with a bright green frame, large patches of black, green colored internal parts (such as HDD trays), a green-illuminated front intake fan, and a green-tinted window with an NVIDIA "eye" streak. Measuring 230 x 599 x 550 mm, the case is designed to fit in standard ATX/MATX motherboards, as well as XL-ATX motherboards, such as the Gigabyte X58A-UD9 and the EVGA X58 Classified 4-way SLI.

Drive bays include five internal 3.5", with two of these supporting 2.5" and 1.8" drives, six 5.25" bays, of which one is a SATA 3.5"/2.5" HDD/SSD dock. The motherboard tray features a hole behind the CPU socket area for easy access to coolers with back-plates, the GPU holder rack can reinforce long graphics cards and minimize bending of their PCBs. Ventilation is aplenty. There's a 230 mm front intake fan, a 200 mm side-panel intake fan, a 140 mm rear exhaust fan, and two optional 200 mm top exhaust fans. Its front panel includes USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0 ports, eSATA, FireWire and audio. The HAF-X NVIDIA Edition from Cooler Master is priced at US $230.

Now THAT is a lime green case. Way too green for my tastes. Too bad they don't have matching fan LED's the greens won't match at all!

 

[gumpty]

Sweet Jezuz, that is a horrible shade of green. What the fuck were they thinking?

A case doesn't need to look good when it is targeting fanboys.
I take the original HAF over this any day.

I bet its UV reactive.. reminds me of a stripper wearing neon based undies

and yeah.. nvidia investors are optimistic, twas 12 dollars last month now up to 13.75, and still rising..

 

[Hayder_Master]

this is extremely suck :shadedshu

 

[Kantastic]

I puked a little, and I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence or not, but the color of my vomit is more or less identical to the green on that hideous case.

 

[LiveOrDie]

i like it to bad its not in the haf 922 i would get it.

 

[Mussels]

this case has a lot of things in common with limes.

1. the color.
2. both burn your eyes

 

[Fourstaff]

I would rather keep my stock HAF-X with AMD liveries, thank you very much.

 

[tkpenalty]

Meh, coolermaster merely do this for the royalties. As long as they pump out good cases like they are at the moment theres nothing wrong in a little bit of trolling .

An aeon ago I actually had a case with a lime green front bezel, and it looked quite nice. I reckon this case would have been done better if it was lime + white and black, and not just the black which is quickly getting old...

 

[HossHuge]

I've puked up that color green before.This isn't just for any fanboy, it's for a "SUPER FANBOY"

 

[Maban]

I know I'm one of only a few, but I like it. Would totally replace my standard HAF-X with that if I had the cash. I'm not so much for the NV branding but I love the color.

 

[adrianx]

wrong green color....

 

[KaelMaelstrom]

this is freaking ugly, i will keep my stock Haf-X

 

[guitarfreaknation]

It's different...

EDIT: Couldn't it with a straight face.

 

[Yukikaze]

Holyshat. This is UGLY. The color is just horrible! If it were dark-green it would've looked great, but this? EW!

 

[DriedFrogPills]

i thought the nVidia green was a lot darker than this. I need to replace my retinas now

 

[Apocalypsee]

CM-690 nvidia was a lot better. This crap is fugly. Who wanted to buy a case that have glowing ghoul vomit all over them?

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

When are they going to roll out a new brushed aluminum flagship? Sure the Haf-x cools about as good as it get's but those bumpy plastic parts, flat black paint, multi stepped window panels... ugh. It has no class. It cost me $300 to hack together a Lian Li that will match this things airflow, I shouldn't have to do that. Brushed alum is just such an obvious direction to go in.

 

[erixx]

"Edition" cases suck, but this one just should never be allowed in 1st place....

Nvidia...hello....?

What's wrong with the ATCS840? 3x230mm fans (1-in, 2-out) + 2x120mm fans (1-in, 1-out). Full aluminum case and it also has what has to be the best removable motherboard tray ever.

 

[KaelMaelstrom]

Nvidia or AMD editions. they just suck i rather go for the original Haf-X, the original Haf-X has cooler looking and black is like an enthusiast colour, unlike these ugly 'Edition' cases

 

[Selene]

I am blind, help me I cant see.

 

[Vancha]

That looks like a....like a...I can't even draw a comparison. Not even vomit looks that bad.

Though whatever colour they chose, I don't think turning the entire front & top faceplates to that colour would look very good.
