MY CM HAF 912 advanced reporting in...





My feedback:
GOOD
1. Very good cable management.
2. Top notch build quality for the price.
3. I love the removable hard disk cage. Future proof for big ass GPU cards
Bad
1. I find the dust filtration not so effective, after about 3 weeks i feel my internals like 3 months

Overall i really satisfied wit the casing. Definitely wil recommend dis casing

Thz. First time CM owner here. Im surprise dis casing have so much space behind the mobo tray. Very easy to hide all those cables.

Sufficient mah. Not sufficient meh??....

But theres something i forgot to mention, when i open the casing the first time i realise the small rubber anti-vibration pads supporting the PSU is missing 3 of them. Dat means mine only had 1 pad! ..Does any HAF 912 owners here hav dis problem as well??.

Would like to share some minor update on my HAF 912. Bought some Xiggy 12cm fans and fan filters. Not really satisfied with the casing original dust filters.
Here are some pics:

Here are the dust filters. One 14cm and three 12cm. Got dis filters from niclasteoh frm garage sales.


Install a 12cm fan at the side panel as well as dust filters.


Not satified wit 1 filter , i added another 14cm filter outside of the side panel.


Took out the preinstall 20cm fan at the front, and installed two 12cm fans wit filters.


Heres how it looks wit the plastic front panel install back on.


Installed two 12cm fans at the top as well. Took out the 20cm fans.


Here are the overall look.

Night mode:


I really luv those dust filters. It does the job really well. After only 1 week installed, i can see all the dust trap nicely at the filters.
As for the airflow, i dont really think it affects much coz my internals are still in good temps.
BUT if u guys really need to know the effects of the airflow after installing these filters, here is a detail test results:



The actual article on this test is from here:

Haha no, when i said xiggy i was refering to the 12 cm fans - Xigmatek.
As for the filters i bought frm niclasteoh. Here is his sales thread:

To be honest i also dont know , but logically the 200mm is suppose to be stronger coz its bigger.
The ONLY reason why i change the 200mm for the 120mm is bcoz i wan to use the dust filters coz there no 200mm dust filters ma..ahaha

@Ulysses - Ur welcome.

@supernothing - Im not sure how much $$ u spend on ur filters, but for me it was reasonable and it was worth it.
Before i bought dis filters i did actually DIY on a more budgeted method. I bought some of those fabric filters for aircon but the airflow is terrible
so in the end i didnt go with it. I thing some one posted at "CM690 Dust Problem thread" here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1042629/+80 ...similar with wat the other guy did.

@SHOfrE3zE - Yup i agree bro , u need to get some filters for the side panels if ur fan r intake. U dont wannt to get all the dust into ur beloved GC rite??
