"Cooler Master has taken the wraps off of its flagship high-air-flow chassis, the HAF X.

Arriving as a bigger brother to the existing HAF 932 and HAF 922, the new addition to the family boasts higher performance and enough room to house most of today's high-end components.

Measuring 230mm x 550mm x 599mm and weighing 14.35kg, the HAF X is comfortably bigger than its predecessors and supports a choice of M-ATX, ATX or E-ATX motherboards - though, there's sadly no official support for XL-ATX boards such as GIGABYTE's UD9.

There's plenty of room for cooling and graphics, however. HAF X features a 230mm red LED front intake, dual 200mm top exhausts and a rear 140mm fan, too. There's room for another 200mm fan to be added to the side panel, and the water cooling crowd will find space for a radiator to be mounted up top.

Extra-long graphics cards aren't a problem - there's room for AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5970 - and nine expansion slots leave plenty of room for multi-GPU configurations.

Five 3.5in drive bays and six 5.25in drive bays (two of which convert to 2.5in for your SSDs) make up the storage arrangement, and HAF X provides external easy-swap access to all installed 3.5in hard disks.

Rounding off the upgrades is a "refined cable management system", an improved tool-free design and the addition of two USB 3.0 ports to the top I/O panel.

Sounds rather nice, and Cooler Master tells us the HAF X will be available soon priced at an MSRP of £150. That's roughly £40 more than the HAF 932."
 
mmmm...liking it.
One thing that bugs me with my current case, I can't install any dual-slot cards in my bottom PCIe slot because it's blocked by the PSU. This one looks like it won't have that problem :D

Also, I like it that they've included built-in support for SSD drives. Right now mine is just sitting in one of the usual 3.5" bays
 
i am loving it so much! One problem that isnt fixed is fan filters. My 932 gets so much dust quickly. The next time i fully upgrade again, i will get this case for sure.
 
FAN FILTERS PLEASE!!!

But otherwise i think its the best case i have ever seen.
 
I like it well enough... but I don't know if I like it $200 worth or not.
