HAF 912+ no more silly cathodes :)

Hi all! You may have seen my previous post about my HAF 912+ and those disgusting cathodes. I sincerely apologize for the monstrosity that I had created...

Some good news though!

I decided re-think the looks, as you all know the HAF series aren't exactly the prettiest of cases out there... So lets see if this is an improvement over the last one.

Very nice, did you make the top part or is that part of the case anyway?

CANNONBALL · 10 Jul 2011 at 23:14

No mate, thats just a standard panel. It houses the board for the I/O ports and what not.

Hmm, think there is an misunderstanding here, I was referring to the last photo with the two fans.

That's the way they're made

with room for 1x200mm or 2x120mm fans

Looks good mate - the white really breaks it up nicely

good choice of fan controller too

is there enough space in the top for a rad?

if you can get 2x120mm fans in the top im sure you can get a rad in there as well.

KiiYzOo · 11 Jul 2011 at 08:53

just that there is a bit of room between the fans and the motherboard and I tought that you may be able to get a rad in there too

Schizo · 11 Jul 2011 at 08:54

it does look a bit tight but im sure there has been one done some where

Ahhhhh

Oh, my bad. I thought you were referring to the plastic bit, yeah the fan mounts are standard.

There should be plenty of room for a rad. I'll take a few more photos of the top bit to show this later.

Thanks mate, the Akasa Fan Controller Jr. Is pretty good, I just needed something to reduce the noise of the Sharkoon Silent Eagle fans. The 2000rpm model is quite loud, especially when they are sucking against the 912s front filter.

So what do you think is better there, an 200mm or two 120mm's? I think the two 120mm's should be blowing more air out I think?

I would go with 2 120mm fans personally, you have more control over your airflow.

I think they also look much nicer.

Watch those akasa Jr's I had two with USB ports that disintegrated on me.

Otherwise that looks much better than stock, I was looking at getting 932 at one stage.

Oh dear, thankfully mine doesn't get used that much anyway. The only time I ever touch it is on a hot day to keep my PC cool.

Those stickers ruin it imo

They were put on before I removed the cathodes and what not.

Don't worry, they are next to be scrapped.
