CM HAF full tower cases.

Anesthetize · 15 Apr 2011 at 13:40

First off, this is for a first build, and I was initially going to go with a mid tower until I saw a video of a PC being build within a full tower, and it just looked tons easier to work with.

So I looked around, and the Cooler Master HAF cases caught my eye. But then I got a little confused. I had read it doesn't have dust filters which is a big issue for me, but then I'd also read of people saying their cases came with filters (even ones attached to the exhaust fans).

Now I may be confusing some models, so assuming some doesn't have dust filters, and some do, which model(s) is it that actually does have them (932, X etc.)?

Thanks for any help.

ill tell you now as someone who has just put together their first PC and has large hands - that is a good idea - buy a larger case. I have the antec 300 and to plug in the cpu power cable i had to use a screwdriver and a lot of luck! i couldnt even get my hand down there to plug it in!

The HAF X has dust filters, the HAF932 doesn't... can't comment on the 922 but that's not a full tower so that doesn't matter

I've got the HAF932 and it is SO easy to build a system into!!

But due to the lack of filters, I'd recommend the X

Yup go with HAF X.

It is the latest model and is excellent for aircooling.

Yeah, I don't big hands, but seeing all the wires in the video had me worrying how I was going to cope with that in a mid tower that a Noctua D14 was going into.

Damn near pooped myself at the thought!
