Cooler Master HAF 912 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Cases+%28Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form%29-_-Cooler+Master-_-11119233)


Cooler Master’s HAF 912 further enriches the HAF series by adding a compact, yet fully featured, mid-tower solution for enthusiasts and budget conscious gamers alike. Its seemingly small exterior supports a plethora of interior features such as twelve devices, high end GPU cards like the ATI Radeon HD 5970 and the NVIDIA GTX 480, large CPU coolers, two 200mm fans, and six 120mm fans.

The HAF 912 embodies the rugged aesthetic and qualities of its brethren while remaining attractively priced. Its traits more closely resemble that of a mid to high-end case than that of other cases in its price range. The HAF 912 pays tribute to the legacy of HAF 932 & HAF 922 in ease of installation, high airflow, and compatibility with water cooling hardware.

In the old days Cheap meant not enough size or void of features. That doesn't seem to be the situation here. I have the HAF 922M and when I was asked why I didn't get the 932, I said; I did and traded it back because it was too Mutha%$#ing big! So this case is the baby of the 9xx bunch and still bigger than many of the other Mid Towers according to at least one VAR and another reviewer. I've not seen it so it is all hear say to me. I love my 922 because it was $89 and this one is only $60. Yet these feature all of the must have features sold today.

All I can say is, thank you very much Cooler Master:up:. Thank you for understanding that all Enthusiast are not limited to folks with more Money than brains or common sense. Now, more power to the haves who can spend $350 to $500 on a computer case. I don't feel any cheapness at all in any Cooler Master Cases I've used.

HAF 932 is kinda normal full tower case, not so big with me, but I don't like the rough design of this case
Like it before, but don't like it anymore

The layout is alright, but this is one ugly case. The 932 & 922 have their own look, but the 12 looks like a cheap knock off. It just looks cheap.

It's a good case for the money, but I'd be curious how it compares to an antec 300 in the cooling department. I think I'd take a 300 over the 912 in looks.

Sorry I missed this but I agree because I like the 922M better.

Antec 300 Dimensions (L x W x H) 18.30" x 8.10" x 18.00"
Cooler Master 912Dimensions (L x W x H) 19.50" x 9.10" x 18.90"
Cooler Master 922M Dimensions (L x W x H) 22.20" x 10.00" x 19.70"

As far as I’m concerned, the 22.2 and the 19.5 compared 18.3 inch Length or Depth from the front to the back is more important to me. I look for a minimum of 19” even with HDD cages turned out like the 912’s. The Antec Cage faces the back of the case and this makes that 18.3 even smaller. It might limit big video cards. The A-300 doesn’t feature a through-the-tray CPU mounting hole. There’s no need to remove the Motherboard in the 912; you have to with the A-300 for heat sinks that go through the board. Again, HAF 912 has most of the features and size common to much more expensive cases. I like and think the 922 is the better deal.
