Cooler Master HAF 912

Hi I have been using this case for my rig for two years now, and searching in the forum for builds and topics for this case I haven't seen that much so I was thinking to share with you what i have learn so far about this budget gaming case, a few exploits and also some bad things   :wacko:. I have seen a few people using 200 mil fans on top and front but what i haven't seen yet is 3 fans on front, and its true it just has 2 mounting points on the fornt at the botom facing the hard drives, but actulay on the 5.25 dryve bays the brakets that fix the plates make the perfect preashure to hold a 120 mil fan and also have a dvd drive no problem, even the spacing betwin the first and the tirth bay fits perfectly to the shape of almost any fan, in my case SilverStone Air Penetrators.

 

 

 

In the water cooling side aldow it has the holds to get tubing out of the case i dont know it has to much space, i was thinking on using two 120 mil rads and one 240 low profile on the top, all insite the case, but i gess i will only have slots for 2 hard drives and im not sure if i would be able to fit the 240 on top. 

 

 

(lol those fans where moving fast wile the photo was taken)

 

 

 

 

Also i wuld like to point out that I have been plaing with the remuvabol 2.5 inch bay with i fownd increadibly usefull for managing cables and giving a distinctive look to the case.

 

 

It is not a lot but at least i hope that those ideas will be usefull to some one and tell me guys what do you think, 

 I need to repaint the case and the hard drives bay T T what metode do you think is the best ? Also i want to get some custom cables but with the poor space behind the motherboard i dont know if i wuld fit an other 24 pin conector.

Sick Build!!! I have the same case, but you made the inside look amazing and the lighting effects take it to the next level! Any tips on painting it?

Nooo i paint it with army painter for warhamer miniatures but it gets scratched the first time you put the dor on T T.

That stinks, the build still looks nice though!
