Introduction

I would like to thank Cooler Master for supplying the review sample.


Earlier this year, Cooler Master released the HAF 700 Evo, an outlandishly large case with massive glass inserts, and a full system build weight approaching 50 kg. Providing a nearly uncompromising amount of space and cooling capabilities along with built-in electronics, that HAF 700 Evo also carries a lofty price tag. This is where the Cooler Master HAF 700 comes in. It aims to offer the core experience of its decked out sibling at a lower price point, by utilizing a far more traditional material mix, as well as leaving out the front LCD display for example.

Specifications

Packaging

The HAF 700 ships in a massive full-colored package with an image of the enclosure on the front, and additional details on the back.

One side panel lists the specifications, while the other gives you a sense of the look and sheer size, even if that image is actually slightly smaller than what is revealed upon opening the package.


Cooler Master does not want you to open the top by accident, and have to flip the very heavy box over. Instead, there are plastic clips you release, then slide up the top part of the box, revealing the standing chassis that can then be simply lifted out of the foam base.
