Very nice

Good job.

AiiR · 27 Jul 2010 at 22:04

Looks really nice inside, shame the outside of the HAF doesn't look so nice.

RavenXXX2 · 27 Jul 2010 at 22:12

yeah them NZXT cables are the business, a rig to be proud of.

Looks real nice red.
Looking at getting one of these myself in next few days, quick Q for you though.
What would you say the minimum length cable for the atx 12V would be?
The PSU I am looking at getting has a 530mm cable and a bit concerned it won't make it up there behind the motherboard.

gareth170 · 27 Jul 2010 at 22:23

why have 3 threads for the same thing??

anyway your psu should be the other way, fan facing down. hence the air vents on the bottom of the case.

Are you sure, but then again I like it that way...And HAF X Manual has it that way round...

yep... the psu should be fan facing down. which would suck cooler air in to the psu.

i have my psu fan facing down, and the air that's coming out from the psu is very cool, near cold air

WingZero30 · 27 Jul 2010 at 22:53

The case seems to be built of extremely high quality. I just wish it was a bit longer.

RavenXXX2 · 27 Jul 2010 at 23:03

Should attract less dust in to the PSU with it facing down and IMO I think it looks neater with the PSU fan not on show.

whipitrnd · 28 Jul 2010 at 02:21

i love it. case looks so clean. you should get some pics of the front of the case as well. much better now pics are resized.

Yes, he's correct. I have the PSU fan down in my CM HAF 932. As said, that's why the vents are in the bottom of the case.

Great setup BTW!

Love the tray for the psu cables wish they had that on the other hafs, seen a guy do one himself out of a old psu box. I could not get it to work well

RedGooner · 28 Jul 2010 at 16:36

Coolermaster got that so right by hiding the PSU cables, i so hated that is my old case.

Thanks for the advice guys, going to look for a dust filter first before turning PSU other way round...

tbh the psu shouldn't get any dust in it as it's at the bottom.

jaysback · 28 Jul 2010 at 17:50

Cheers for that.
Just bought a XFX 750W black edition supply, just need the cases to come back into stock.
Cable may be OK without extending it as it's 530mm long.
If not will go with NZXT cable as it looks so much neater.

gareth170 · 28 Jul 2010 at 18:02

it comes with 1 8pin motherboard extending cable

RE:

I cant see a problem with not having a dust filter where the power supply is placed as that gets blown out the back through the PSU but next to it there is another grill vent which needs a filter

With the other vents all having filters I have no idea why they didnt have something inplace for this part of the case.

Cheers

wow, some one does use that shroud XD
But very neat build, and shiny too.
