really?!.. does anyone really care?... they even put a count down timer.

I've got a few of the 932 and one 922... no X.
The 932 is a great case for watercooling and the 922 soso.. the x not so much... and now they want to cripple it more with the 912..

It seems like the HAF gets worse with each iteration.

HAF932>HAF922>HAFX>who cares about the 912..

seems like coolermaster wants to capitalize on the HAF name as much as possible with success of the 932... they seem to be ruining it IMHO

What's wrong with the HAF X?

Also, the HAF922 is a mid tower so I wouldn't necessary say it's worse than the 932...just a different segment

Seconded... what's wrong with the HAF X? I have it and love it, best case I've ever owned.

I don't have anything against the X... I just don't have one, which i stated. If i were to do just strictly air cooling, I would look at the X... but as for watercooling, they've removed the ability to mount large radiators with out having to mod the case. The 932 i could stick a 120x360 radiator on the top.. the 922 i could put a 120x240 radiator on the top... you can't do that with the x. that's why i don't have an x...and it's also why I consider the x lower than the other two for my purposes.

i just thinks it's ridiculous with the advertisement that they're doing with the 912.

I care about the HAF 912.

I want a case with great air flow, but I don't need all the space of a 932, and I don't want to do watercooling. Thus far that meant I was planning to buy the 922, but I'll certainly have a look at the 912.

Is the advertising ridiculous ? Yes, but the product might be pretty good.

and i might have lightning bolts shoot out my azz... j/k

and the product might be pretty bad...
it's a horrible advertisement...
they should at least give more details.. just nil... this ain't the droid where there was basically no competitor to the iphone and so it was much anticipated...
There are plenty of cases out there to chose from... this ad falls flat on it's nose

I had zero trouble mounting a 120mm x 360mm hanging underneath the top on my HAF-x, with 3 x 120mm fans underneath and the 2 x 200 mm fans on top, that's plenty of air movement. The 360mm radiator wont' fit perfect in the top compartment but it hangs underneath just fine and the screw holes are in different spots to mount the 360mm radiator than for the 2 x 200 mm fans, so it worked out great.

I'll take a second look at the haf-x for this.. the first time i saw the haf-x i didn't see this.

It looks a little bigger than typical mid tower. More like antec 900 size. I wonder if it has a side 200mm or not probably do or else won't a haf. looks like 2x120/140mm front. not a full tower for sure cause my haf 932 is 6 bay on top this has only 4 bays. but the asking price of only 60 would make this a pretty hot seller I bet!

It looks like they're doing with this what Antec did with the Nine Hundred (and subsequent Three Hundred, Twelve Hundred, etc.)

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but not my cup of tea either. Now, if they want to release an updated ATCS 840 (and subsequent smaller versions) I'll be all over it.
