Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

When choosing a case it is important to make sure it is something that you like and that will fit your needs. Cases are one of the few, if not the only component from a PC rig that will last you through multiple builds. With that in mind, I took a long time researching and browsing around before I decided on a case for my computer build. The HAF 912 was consistently mentioned across the web by PC enthusiasts and amateurs as a strong case choice for both form and function. Cooler Master named the HAF series to stand for "High Air Flow" and these cases truly shine in that area. I am running an AMD 955 black edition processor overclocked to 4.0gHz and also a Radeon 6950 1gb video card and the case stays between 27-40 degrees celsius on the stock fans (depending on if I am just browsing the web or utilizing more CPU power). I thought I would need to purchase a bunch of extra case fans in order to keep my system temperatures down, but such is not the case. The huge vent in the top of the case can accommodate up to a 200mm case fan, but for now it works very well as just an exhaust vent. Most of the hot air exits through this area. The 912 also takes a minimalist approach in terms of design and does not include a giant window or bright LED lights like some other cases boast. For myself this was perfectly fine, but if you are looking for a case that has all of these extra features then this is not the right choice for you. I didn't need a flashy case and instead I wanted my money to be spent on build quality and necessary features. Here are some of the key reasons I would recommend this case to a prospective builder: Airflow- Superb, even with only the stock fans (discussed above). Capacity/Size- There is plenty of room inside this case. It supports the larger ATX motherboards as well as the micro-ATX motherboards. Longer video cards can be accommodated by easily removing the extra drive bay(s). Cable management- The HAF 912 has great cable management for a mid-tower case. If you don't know what cable management is or why it is important, it basically means how well the case tucks away the giant spiderweb of wires so that it does not clutter the inside of your system. The HAF 912 has room behind the right side panel for excess wires to be stored. I have a non-modular power supply which literally has about 10 extra cables that I did not use for my build and that I needed to hide somewhere. This case was able to conceal them behind the motherboard, no problem. This is essential because without proper cable management the wires will actually clutter and block the overall airflow throughout the case and lead to higher temperatures. Tool-less drive bay installation- Installing the CD/DVD drive is literally a snap and takes no more than 10 seconds to do. It only comes with one (1) tool-less drive bay, but that's all most people will need. Price- The case will only set you back about $50-60 depending on if it's on sale. While you aren't going to have all the bells and whistles that some cases have you are getting features in this case that are not seen until you move up into the $70-90 bracket. The HAF 912 is truly a great mid-tower case that will not disappoint. I highly recommend this case to both new and avid PC builders alike.

I read the reviews that said that this thing was gigantic and I thought "fantastic, I want something big" They were right and it's wonderful. Pros 1. It's huge. It fits my GTX 660 Ti with plenty of space left over (plenty of space = about an inch) and I didn't have to move the drive bays. 2. The construction is solid. No wobbling or cheap feeling parts. This thing looks and feels like a tank. I'll also tack on that it looks very sharp. 3. No-tools design functioned very well. My DVD drive and HDD mounted without nary a screw turn from me. I put screws in the DVD drive anyway (decreases vibration which decreases sound and increases life of the DVD drive) but it's nice how easy that was. 4. Interesting SSD bay placement is actually really handy. Since SSDs generate like no heat (and therefore do not need all that much ventilation to stay cool) I used the extra space in the drive bay to route my cables to help improve cable management. 5. The cable management on this thing is hands down the best in this price range. It's so huge that there are plenty of cases to route cables and plenty of space behind the motherboard. 6. The little platform on top to lay things is a useful feature. I liked it. Cons 1. Did not come with additional fan screws. This was irritating because I had additional fans and no screws. I eventually got some from a friend but it would've been nice to have a few extras in the bag. 2. The front fan cable isn't long enough to stretch to the motherboard which means you have to plug it into the power supply. You either have to buy an extender or deal with the front fan being on full blast constantly. An extender is cheap but Cooler Master really ought to go into this thinking "I bet the consumer wants fan control on all 3 fans so we better make sure they connect to the mobo" Small issues aside, this case is amazing. It's gigantic, spacious, and airy. I put a 120mm fan on the top to help vent the CPU and I can feel the coolness radiating off of this. My CPU and GPU idle at 30C on stock air coolers and I've no doubt that part of that is because of how airy the case is. It's easy to install things (like the DVD drive), it's cheap, it's huge and airy (a tad heavy though), and it looks beastly. I can't rave enough about the case and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something huge and cheap. Note: I also put an LED fan with a green light in the front. Looks awesome.

I bought one of these last time, and again its flawless, the best computer tower I have ever owned. Solid, Lots of space and just like the one I bought 3 years back, its Stolid as a rock and stable.

Good. Spacious, high air flow, easy installation.

I really like this case. It's a good deal, it looks cool, and has room for the fans you need. I installed an all-in-one corsair water cooler no problem (the smaller version). I'm not sure if it would fit the larger, two fan version of those water coolers, but it might. I've found the smaller one to be good enough, anyway. I also have the stock fan sitting at the top for even more cooling, rather than on the side, as that is where the all-in-one cooler is.The top fan area MIGHT have enough room for those larger water coolants, but it's getting pretty close to the motherboard at that point.

Estuve revisando varias opciones a la hora de ensamblar mi PC gamer, y esta fue la mejor elección de acuerdo a la oferta disponible en Amazon. Lamentablemente el costo de importación deste Estados Unidos fue muy alto, pero valió la pena el esfuerzo. Fuera de ese pequeño inconveniente, el gabinete es sumamente robusto, elegante y completo. El diseño de los espacios está planeado para una adecuada ventilación que fluye desde la parte frontal hacia la parte superior y trasera de la torre, dando lugar además para colocar ventiladores adicionales en la parte superior, o un sistema de enfriamiento líquido. Es muy silencioso y viene además con algunos aditamentos internos para controlar mejor el flujo de aire, aunque suelen estorbar cuando se instalan tarjetas gráficas de gran tamaño (GTX 1060, 1080, etc).

Con un diseño agresivo, echo de metal delgado bastante resistente y ligero, con 2 ventiladores incluidos de coolermaster, ademas de tener la bahia para poner la gpu parada es maravilloso, incluye bastante espacio para disco duro ssd, la motherboard queda perfecta, el manejo de cables es muy bueno incluso trae colas de rata (sinchos) para juntar los cables y tener mejor estetica, tiene bahia para lector de discos y una para disquette o un controlador de ventiladores (fanhub) el frente es plastico pero se ve y se siente muy resistente, conectores de audio de alta calidad y los botones igual. Es de muy facil acceso con tornillos de dedo (thumb screws) en fin me encanta!
