i was also considering buying the haf x but yesterday by pure chance i came across the aerocool xpredator evil black/orange. its around £125 so its cheaper and it seems to beat the haf x in every way as far as i can tell. i know aerocool have a bad reputation of making cheap, nasty cases but i am sooooo impressed with this case i highly reccomend checking out sum reviews to see what u think.
dont get me wrong tho the haf x is still an amazing case; and if ur looking for fans then kustom uk is a good site for fans and other cooling solutions.

ive just been on other sites and your case has lower ratings. unfortunatly ocuk are outpriced elsewhere for a decent amount.. it puts it a couple of quid over your case.

Fans as supplied are pretty darn good , quiet & move a lot of air.I moved the 200mm side fan to the top of case & added a Coolmaster 200mm(with red leds) to the side.
At full speed they are not silent but the noise is just basically wind not whirring or rattling.

I got the HAF X on friday, Excellent case, best case ive owned. Loads of room and the fans are great! I do like the idea of the red led fan on the side, apart from my H100 light, its pretty dark in there!

well im looking on ocuk and dissapointed that they have hardly any 200mm fans at all... and the ones they do have.. are not in stock.

ive had to go to competitors site.. and found one... and i have also found this from nzxt in red...

If anyone can help me on my next question...

I've found a windowed side panel for the HAF 932 case.... It's much nicer then the original side panel.... I'm wondering if anyone knows if they are interchangeable.

Good case, but I recommend a Lian Li red led light strip to brighten up the inside.
