Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this case a while back and fully built my computer early this month around August 9th. This case is very spacious for current builds and future expansion. I highly recommend this case for anyone who wants to upgrade their rig or build their own custom computer. Pros: The case is mainly made of steel/plastic (which you will notice is pretty heavy with nothing in it) but it will give you the piece of mind that it has durable material that will not break easily. This motherboard can support up to an Extended ATX motherboard and can the largest of video cards which is amazing. It has excellent air cooling to boot with one front 230mm red led fan, two 200mm fans (one optional) and a 140mm rear fan. The case is also liquid cooling ready. I installed the optional 200mm fan on the top and even with a full load my computer doesn't pass 42C-44C and it's whisper quiet. The HDD slots include a caddy that snaps onto your 3.5" drives and it also includes two bays that can install 2.5" drives. In the front, there are also four bays that you can install 5.25" drives or something else and there are two hot-swappable bays that you can install an extra hard drive if necessary. It comes stocked with a bunch of extras depending on how you are going to use it (i.e. VGA card air duct, GPU card holder, wheels if a hard floor, standoffs, a built in power supply cable partition which will help you achieve that clean installation look, and a bunch of extras like cable ties and such). Cons: This case is superb so my only cons are some minor things that I think Cooler Master could have improved on. One of my only major gripes is that yes it comes with a CPU cooler cutout on the motherboard tray however, it's not as big as you need it to be. I had to uninstall my motherboard to install the CPU cooler bracket THEN install the CPU cooler bracket which defeats the purpose if it features a cutout in the back. The other very minor gripe with the case that some consumers may disagree with me on the case if very expensive right off the bat but I believe they should at least include the optional 200mm fan. But I like said some consumers may disagree with me because some may use that unoccupied vent for something else such as liquid cooling (360mm radiator). Final Thoughts: This case is excellent for you are paying for. I originally paid $199.99 but the price has dropped which makes this case more affordable. This case is one of the best on the market right now in my opinion and if you look across other retailers it has some excellent reviews.

Cable management is easily the best out of any other case. They include plenty of cable management holes and places to secure the cables with cable ties. The right side panel is extruded so you can fit more cables behind the motherboard tray. They also include a box which can hide cables at the bottom.

I like this case. Had all the extra room for my hard drives and did not need special harnesses to put my SSD in there as well. Only thing this case is missing is an SD card reader.

This is my second rig I have build and one the most satisfying thing I got from this one was the space for my parts and the cable management. It does not look as sleek as others, but it gets the job done and I am very happy with the purchase

There is nothing I don't love about this case. It's roomy, which makes it very easy to add components, has great cable management features, hard drive and CD-ROM drive installation was a breeze, and has lots of fans to move air around, with the added benefit of being able to add even more to the case if you feel so inclined. This case replaced an old bare-bones case that I used for a couple of years. Temps are lower on both my CPU and video card and that makes me very happy. Besides all that, the thing just looks cool! Is the red LED on the front fan a little overkill? Sure, but who cares because it looks like a Cylon. A cool, old-school Cylon. If I had to toss in a downside, it's the manual. If I didn't know what I was doing already, the manual would have frustrated me to no end. It's a multilingual, poorly-worded, picture-based booklet that would do no favors to someone building a PC for the first time. OK, one more small downside: I did think at $189, it was a bit pricey and to be honest, if I hadn't been able to use some gift cards to get it at a greatly reduced price, I likely wouldn't have bought it. Having said that, it is nice to have a roomy case with lots of air circulation and plenty of room to expand. If you do decide to drop the money and get this case, you won't regret it.

I love this. I have had no issues with this since I have gotten this.

After 2 months of resarch and eliminating all but full-tower cases, I decided on the CoolerMaster HAF 942. This case has everything I need/want for my PC builds. I had checked into several other models from other manufacturers and nothing was going to suit my needs for under $200 except this case. It has several fans included (saves $$) with the option to add two more fans, which I did. With all the cooling this case has, it's relatively quiet even with my dual fan CPU/heatsink-cooler. Looks are good, but nothing spectacular. It's solid black with a few red led-lighted fans. Again, looks good, but nothing exceptional. This case is large. It's a full tower, so be sure you have room for it before you purchase.

Best case every bring it back in 2025 looks and feel strong nice metal.

This case is wonderful. It gave me plenty of room to run the wires behind the motherboard for all of my drive bays along with for the motherboard itself. It has plenty of space for pretty much any upgrade to a computer that you can think of. The case will work for Full ATX, Micro ATX, and even Mini ATX boards.

I bought this because my past system was getting too hot. After 3 days case was at my house fast shipping,i knew that case will be big but this thing is huge it wont fit under my desk. Cable management is superb this is my second Cooler Master case and ill buy again in the future

great compatability, keeps all components cool, plenty of room

Three words, just around perfect! This case has everything gamers would need or want. It has four fans included and has the ablitity to support two more. I've been searching for a case that would be future proof, and this is it. The case comes with two 3.0 USB cables and can hold any motherboard on the market and has room for any CPU coolers you can get. It also is water-cooling compatible, but that's risky. Trust me, this case is perfect for sombody who's into the military style and doesn't want to worry about your parts frying up inside, of course, for $200... they could have adding another top fan.

This is, in my opinion, a perfectly designed computer case. It looks nice, it has ample room for just about any sort of build you can imagine, it has great wire management features, and the fans that come with it are pretty good as well. The built-in fans run quiet, and the case really helps keep everything cool. USB 3.0 built-in and a hot swap bay, and it's fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

this case does a great job pulling out the heat and keeping insides cool

The Haf-x is every thing you need and more.... Great case....
