This review is from: Cooler Master HAF X - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0 Ports
Pros:
Huge, plenty of space for quad sli - if my board only had one more PCIe slot. I have 2 radiators in it now i could put a few more in. i love the power button cover - cant accidentally turn it off when you're having a blonde moment *happens when you forget you turned your monitor off and the computer is still on. hot swap rocks *and works without frustration or banging pins and hard drive back planes. Great wire management options. If you have a custom water cooled system, it has nice grommets for external heat exchanging ( i think that's what its for i use stand alone solutions )
Cons:
Huge- one hell of a footprint, i have to run it without wheels to fit under my computer table. backplane for the usb3 seems nonfunctional, ive never really investigated more than "it doesn't seem to work" and just ran a jumper to the back and used a slot for usb3 out the rear. (more plastic than i thought, but thats not why i chose this case anyways). I didn't choose open box product but it was obviously opened when i received it, screws were taped back into the torn bag, that's not cooler masters fault at all.
Overall Review:
quiet stock fans, Ive replaced a few, and one died but i fault myself for failure to blow the case clean as often as i should.
