Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

The Cooler Master HAF XB will certainly please the user who is looking for a non-conventional looking, yet practical, computer case. This case is perfect for overclockers and tweakers who need to open the computer quite often, as the motherboard is located at the top half of the case, and you have access to the motherboard and components that are attached to it by simply removing the top panel.

Strong Points

  • Excellent cost/benefit ratio
  • Unique design that will appeal to gamers and overclockers
  • Meshed covers with air filters on the 5.25” bays
  • Air filter for the front and power supply fans
  • Anti-vibration rings for 3.5” hard drives
  • Two hot-swap bays supporting both 3.5” and 2.5” devices
  • Removable motherboard tray
  • A huge hole in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler
  • Clips for fastening cables using cable ties

Weak Points

  • No air filters on the venting holes of the side panels
