Actually IVI, the HAF X doesn't look too bad but I'm kinda sick of black cases.


Exams are all done so its time to get started on the upgrades, starting with a case.

I've narrowed it down to the following:

NZXT Phantom White $169

Corsair 600T White $185


The Phantom is a full tower so it leaves the door open for an XL sized board should I want one but the 600t is also a beast in its own right. :dunno:

YES!! Especially since a HAF was shot down, unless I should make him a case and send it to him....anyone got another old Gateway? :P

Lol no angle grinder in the world would have saved that case.


I got the phantom yesterday :biggrin:


My mATX board looks lonely in there. All i need now is a 7950 :P


Couple of things which kind of annoyed me

  • Cable management holes are pretty small, rubber grommets came off a few times when I was forcing my shit through
  • Side panel mechanism sucks major balls (kinda)
  • Not enough fans to wire up all the fan controllers out of the box
  • HDD trays aren't that great either



But overall I'm quite happy with it.

Try saying that HAFter using one :teehee:


I have no love for the HAF series. For anyone else yeah its great BUT the thing about it is the air cooling performance could be alot better,

"It works Because I threatened it. :lol:" - " did you show it the sledgehammer" - "No, A flight of stairs"
"I don't want to be much of a forum Nazi but this situation calls for a hail Bosco and blitzkrieg someone".

If that does not work I hop in a Madcat and Blast it to microscopic Particles.

Bit of paint already scraped off the Phantom here and there, there was a mention of paint scraping iirc on the review of the pink one on here.

No biggie though.
