Cooler Master HAF XB gets tested and reviewed

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/02/2013 10:40 AM | source: | 9 comment(s)

We test and review the all new Cooler Master HAF XB mid tower chassis.The product is intended to be an easy to carry around chassis with but can also function as test-bench. Armed with rugged looks and a lot of features this might be a very interesting chassis to purchase. Basically the product is aimed at two end-user types, those who like to carry around their PC towards LAN partheeeeeees, and the more professional user that can use a nice testy-bench. Have a peek at our full-blown review. You can read the full Guru3D review here.

Around £80 in the uk right now, coupled with a h100i cpu cooler would suit me just fine.

Interesting case, not enough HDD space for me though XD.

Thanks for this review, Hilbert.

I going for a new build soon. I was already looking at this case. It's either this one or the XM. I would prefer the XB, but I want a fan controller and an optical drive in the 5.25" bays. That leaves 2 HDDs. I already have two and maybe I want a third some day. Chances are that by that time SSD prices are still not down enough to buy a second one. The XM also has more cooling options in case I want Crossfire. So, the XM looks more realistic for me, but I sure like the XB's concept. I'm still not decided, though.

There are many typos in this review. BUT, this is the case I have had an eye on for a month now. Not all metal like my Stacker , but I would love to have my pc off the ground and on the desk next to me.

Good review none the less.
