Cooler Master HAF XB LAN Box Review
Cooler Master HAF XB LAN Box
Cooler Master is a name synonymous with enclosures. They have been building PC cases for over 20 years, so they are no stranger to the industry. Over the years Cooler Master has released quite a few cases. A few years ago Cooler Master launched a new line of cases simply named HAF, or High Air Flow. The HAF series of cases is designed for superior air flow, cable management, and to help cool the hottest systems. One of the features of the HAF Systems is the open mesh design which allows more air to flow through the case, thus keeping the components cooler.
In November 2012, Cooler Master released the latest case in the HAF Series, the HAF XB LAN Box. The HAF XB is a cube style chassis and is designed to be toted to LAN parties. Does the HAF XB live up to its nomenclature? Read on to find out.
