Cases CoolerMaster HAF-X Case...anyone heard of it?

I was looking through the internet to see if there was any new cases due out soon, and I saw this one......
I have not heard of it before, and after a quick search on our forums, I didn't see any mentions of it.

Looks like a HAF 932 "XL"

Just thought I would share my find with you

 

Looks like it'd be much more conducive to modding than the 932.

Either way, do NOT want.

 

Thanks for pointing that out M7ck...I did read that bit when I 1st saw it, but didn't mention it in my original post.
I just thought it would still be worth sharing, even if it's a concept/pre-production case.

 

Yup its real and they say it will be out around june.

damn i just bought a haf-932 and its coming tommorow! lolz

 

It looks a bit..iffy.

I bet the cooling's quite good amongst other things, but i'm not too fond of the fact that it seems monstrous already.

If it was better styled then I might've looked at it more, but the king of Full towers remains to be Lian Li.

 

Is it just me or do most PC case makers produce ass-ugly cases?

My usual gripes have to do with companies like Thermaltake and Coolermaster, but even high-end makers like Lian-Li and Silverstone make do some ugly work.

What's with all the glowy things and silk-screened writing? Random curves and hints of colour? Do these companies serve a perpetually 14-year old minded aesthetic? If someone wanted a case that glowed blue and had windows all over it, they can mod it themselves. Even if these companies needed to serve that market, why can't anybody save for a couple models, produce a classy case?

I always have to point back to Apple. Love them or hate them, they produce a nice modernist design that's mostly too simple to be repulsive. If you wanted to add some blue LEDs to it, go for it. Personally, I just want a compact and unpretentious case that doesn't scream cheap or gaudy. I mean, maybe I'm just old fashioned, or I'm not 'X-treme" enough to appreciate all of this.

 

It's in the Cebit coverage on the front page.

 

I can't decide if I prefer it over my 932... although it makes me want to get it powder coated!

 

It's Fermi compatible ...apparently those cards need uber-cooling!

 

It's marginally less fugly than the original 932, but I still absolutely hate both the design and also the size of these things. And yeah it seems like this just is the fashion now. CM keeps making these gaming-things and Antec has taken a long downhill ever since the original P180

 

cosmos anyone?
