HardwareCanucks, Bjorn3D, Hardware Secrets, Think Computers and Tech Kings have reviewed the all new Cooler Master HAF XM Mid-Tower Gaming Case.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • HardwareCanucks:

    "The HAF XM may be termed as a mid tower case but it actually strides in the grey area between full tower and midsized status. The exterior dimensions may be slightly larger than those of a typical mid tower case but they don’t come anywhere close to full tower status.

    The HAF XM’s interior is rife with cable routing options and it even comes with a unique power supply cable baffle which successfully covers the spider’s nest of wires typically located at the bottom of most cases. Cooler Master has also seen fit to include a pair of 200mm fans, plenty of potential locations for a water cooling setup, USB 3.0 compatibility, a neatly hidden 2.5” mount and support for E-ATX motherboards.

    The list of features on Cooler Master’s HAF XM goes on and on but this really is a case that has to be seen to be appreciated so check out our full video review!"

  • Hardware Secrets:

    "Cooler Master hit the bull’s eye with the HAF XM. It is a high-end case at an affordable price. We simply couldn’t find anything negative to say about it."

  • Tech Kings:

    "In the process of shrinking the monolithic HAF X to a more practical size, the folks at Cooler Master have retained a massive amount of functionality. The entire chassis is very sleek and professional, being constructed with the utmost precision. Even the latched side panel has an extremely tight fit with zero gaps or wiggle. The best part is that, despite all the effort put into making the HAF XM as compact and portable as it is, the whole case can be gutted at a moments notice. If you place a premium on versatility and are looking for a high-end mid-tower from a quality brand, we see no reason not to recommend this latest case from Cooler Master."

  • Bjorn3D:

    "We have to admit that even before we removed the Cooler Master HAF XM from it's box we were expecting a quality product with tons of features. We are pleased to report that we were not disappointed.

    CoolerMaster has been steadily building a reputation for excellence with the HAF series, We feel the HAF XM continues in this tradition."

  • Think Computers:

    "If you take a look at the case the HAF XM looks almost identical to the HAF X except it is a bit smaller and does not have the side panel window. If you look at the HAF XM from the front you would think it was the HAF X! Internally you have the very popular PSU cover that many people enjoyed on the HAF X. Although you cannot fit XL-ATX motherboards inside of the HAF XM it does support mATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards. They were also able to fit another hard drive tray in there giving you six instead of the five that were inside the HAF X. Just like the HAF X you have support for longer video cards as well.

    The HAF XM is available today with a price of $129.99. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Cooler Master HAF XM a 9 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award!"
