    regarding the smoke machine: As I have multiple years of experience working with stage equipment my guess would be that it hasn't been cleaned properly. The smoke fluid has to be drained and the machine has to be flushed with distilled water EVERY time after use. If you forget it 3 to 4 times you have to disassemble the whole machine to clean it with alcohole.

    For this price I would expect more modularity, such as being being able to do horizontal builds and a full flip left/right build or at least a option to build a mini-ITX build in the power supply compartment. I could see making a desk out of one of these in a horizontal build and a slaved second front panel mirrored on the other side of the desk; this would give the look of a car or trucks tail lights, or the engines of a space craft.

    I like Cooler Master's push for big fans in recent years. If they really wanted to develop a new fan platform, this case could easily house 240s in the top, and with some retooling the bottom and front as well.
    I'm hoping they're also serious bout the HAF series again. I could see some interesting cases coming out of this, especially if they revisit the HAF Evo XB style of case, or the stacking cases.

      getting a front 5.25 bay with USB type C is the easiest thing. The HAF X will never get old because of this, whereas the new ones will be obsolete as soon as there's a new port in the market. On the other hand, i find myself using less and less cables so port count is becoming less relevant. Nowadays i do almost all data transfers through network/cloud, my headset is wireless etc.

Plus adding an additional 200mm fan on the top of the case, coupled with GPU brace/fan makes it that I'm getting crazy airflow through the thing.

    My last foray with CM and unusual PC cases was the test bench-with-a case HAF XB Evo. While airflow it did provide, it's been 7 years of upgrade nightmares as you have to pull every major component to do anything even as trivial as adding another SSD because of the split deck mobo mount and having to run wires in a dungeon beneath it. Using it, however, is quite nice as you get a horizontal mobo and a vertical mount GPU without the hassle.
    This one being something of an upright version of that case looks interesting, but I'll bet it's chunky in the price tag, too.

    Pretty crazy case! Crazy price, capabilities, and looks. One of my only gripes would be the lack of 5.25" bays cause I'm old school like that, but the aesthetics and fan possibilities is the trade off. Love seeing big fans, and lots of places to put normal sized ones. That cable management cover and the fan space next to the motherboard IO are definite cool points in my book. Undecided on the tool-less nature of the case, I always question the longevity of the mechanisms used; unsure if the ease of use outweighs the reliability of traditional methods. Other than the price, props to Cooler Master for taking the risk and making a case I'd totally consider if it weren't for the cost being more than the current value of my used build lol.

      Ah a man of taste and refinement as well I see. Honestly that's the actual reason why I went with my Phanteks, because you'll pry those optical drives from my cold dead hands and plus I also wanted to just mount a card reader in the front. No, I am not wasting a USB port on some messy looking external drive, and I've been charging my vape pens and plugging my HOTAS into that exact extra port I got with the 5.25 card reader anyway. I think if I had a 4th slot I'd probably be considering one of those old manual fan tuners at this point. You remember those? WIth the dials and shit in the front and some had the LCD panel showing you fan power?

It's actually embedded inside the glass I suspect this happened when it was made. It's not horrible but an $800 case shouldn't have that. $150 case I would overlook it. The other thing to know is in order to use everything you need two 19 pin USB 3.0 ports on the MB. Mine only has one. I had to add a card which isn't a big deal but should be noted. I do love the case and the front LCD screen is really nice to add your own graphics. The CM software is bit wonky too. Everyone who sees my build is amazed mostly from the case.

      The latest MSRP from Corsair official site shows $529 without tax for 1000D.
      But don’t forget the fact that the 1000D doesn’t come with any pre-installed fans while this new HAF is shipped with 2x200mm + 3x120mm ARGB, not to mention a Gen 4 Riser cable.

      @@haoyuchi2034 Yeah I mean if you need those items then they are of value to you, I never end up using pre-installed fans though lol. I can get the 1000D for $515 with free prime shipping on amazon

      clearly they decided to wait for a production unit to do the watercooled build ;)

      The 1000d is just plain better, from finishing to features the price for this one SUCKS.

    I have a cooler master case. It is an oldie but a goodie and unlike a lot of cases out there plenty of room to work in.

    Oh man, I still have the HAF X and it is a real machine airflow wise. I think this will be my new case.

    Still have my haf x amd edition in my storage room.
    I've put a phenom 940 and xfire 5850 in it with dual loop ek watercooling. I cant lift it alone. That's how heavy it is when you watercool it. An this new pc case, good luck trying to lift it.
    Btw, mine comes with a detachable caster wheel, so i could slide it on the floor.

    Please do a custom loop in this and see how much it takes the temps down. I’d be willing to bet most buyers will be doing custom loops

    O11 XL Dynamic owner here, been rocking 13 fans for long while now. It's definitely a big help, you can feel the hot air blasting out of the case when I'm going full load.

      I have an 011D XL as well and love the case. I have the top exhaust and side intake rads in push and pull while the bottom intake rad in pull and then the rear exhaust fan. So total 16 120mm fans. Most are EK Vardar DRGB but I do have 6 Bitspower Touchaqua Njords as well. They are solid fans.
