The only problem I ran into was that I mounted the MOBO before I put the backplate which meant I had to take it back out.

So if you do go for the HAF-X make sure you mount the backplate first
 
wot cards have you and is the cooling any good also do you have the vga bracket on yurs?

The card I have in is a MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone 1024MB.
Cooling is very good in this case my idle temps for the system is 28c I havent checked the temps yet for when its running at its overclocked speed.

You've just reminded me about the VGA bracket, I'll be putting that in when I get a new fan.

I would reccommend this case or even stretch to a Corsair 800D
 
The CPU hole on the mobo tray wasn't aligned well on the 932 for my 1156, I ended up just cutting the hole 2" deeper with a jigsaw just before I had it powder coated, resulting in a nice big access hole.

The X seems to have an identically positioned and sized hole, I'd have hoped CM would have addressed it!

Yeah it was the same on my Storm Sniper

It caused me problems when i installed my EK waterblock because the mounting screw were poking out the back of the motherboard and hitting the motherboard tray preventing me putting the motherboard in.

Here what i did when i lost my temper with it.

The fact coolermaster have done nothing about it still puts me off buying another case from them.
