Hello, I think we can all agree that the HAF X was, and still is a great case but it is beginning to show its age.

 

maybe its just me, but the HAF X is one of my favorite cases, and I think a lot of other people think the same. Does anyone know or have an idea why Cooler Master doesn't make a HAF X 2 or something similar? Sorry if this is a stuiped question but I was just thinking about this allot.

Yes the HAF X is showing quite a lot of it's age. You can't say that CoolerMaster isn't working on one or is. Just buy something else like a 750D.

Yea, your right, but the 750d is pretty similar in terms of specs, it just doesnt have the really nice rugged look of the HAF X.

If you want full watercooling maybe look into the new stacker series that come out in some time now. I really like them :D (im a HAF932 owner)

I don't see CM coming out with a refresh of the HAF X anytime soon. They already did a smaller and updated version with the HAF XM and for the serious watercoolers they are releasing the HAF Stacker- Unfortunatly a HAF X refresh would fall between the two, and not in a good way.

I actually think it would fall in the middle nicely, for people who want a nice full tower case that can definitely hold some great stuff, but not go crazy like the stackers.

The problem is that the XM is plenty big for putting in some serious hardware, whilst having quite good watercooling support. And if you want better watercooling support, you would go with a Stacker.

 

Believe me, I would love to see a HAF X-2 (HAF X2?), but I just don't see it happening in the near future..
