Terminal Thoughts

When it first launched, the original Cooler Master HAF 932 offered a tremendous deal given its build quality and features. Sitting at only $130 today, we still think the HAF 932 is the best value full tower gaming case available.

Simply how does the HAF X hold its own in the more competitive $200 bracket? Cooler Master'due south latest chassis might not stand out as much as the HAF 932 considering it shares space with alternatives like the Thermaltake Spedo and Lian-Li PC-B70, simply nosotros believe it's the superior option.

In our opinion, if you dig the HAF serial looks, the real question becomes whether you should you skip the HAF 932 and spend $70 more on the HAF X. Aesthetics bated, there are some differences between them. The HAF X is slightly bigger and weighs a kilo more. It supports more grade factors and has two extra expansion slots, USB three.0, dual hot-swappable drive bays, and the ability to mount 2.5" drives. Meanwhile, the larger side window lets you peek at the new internal black paint job.

To answer that question directly, we prefer the HAF X. All the same, nosotros would borrow a few things from the original given the run a risk -- namely the façade, merely that'due south just our personal taste. At near 50% more expensive than the HAF 932, the HAF Ten is a more upwards-to-date, polished product.

Should the HAF design speak to you as information technology does u.s.a., then either case will ultimately fit the neb. Budget conscious consumers should buy the original HAF 932, while the new HAF X offers an updated option for those with a trivial more cash to splash.
