The Future of Gaming Chassis \u2013 Introducing the HAF 912 Advanced<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sydney<\/strong>, Australia<\/strong>:<\/strong> January 2011 \u2013 Defining the ultimate chassis for gamers is near impossible, but the new HAF912 Advanced makes it possible. The HAF912 is cost effective and does not compromise on fundamental features such as size, cooling and space. If your looking for an affordable gaming chassis that comes with all the bells and whistles with great support for water cooling accessories, the HAF 912 model for you.<\/p>\n

Room to grow<\/strong><\/strong>
\nThe HAF 912 Advanced offers plenty of space for your system to grow as you upgrade. It has room for no less than four 5.25-inch drives, six 3.5-inch internal drives and two 2.5-inch drives in its standard configuration. The 5.25-inch drive bays also come pre-fitted with an adapter to accept 3.5-inch drives as well as a 3.5 to 2.5-inch adapter that accepts two more 2.5-inch drives. A section of the 3.5-inch can hold up to four drives,, removed to fit graphics cards that are longer than 320mm, and rotated 90 degrees. The bottom mounted 2.5-inch drive cage can also be mounted on top of the bottom half of the 3.5-inch drive cage if more room is needed at the bottom of the case. This modular approach puts you in charge of how to do things and it\u2019s something you won\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Keep it tidy<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Airflow is important in any computer, but even more so in a gaming PC and the HAF 912 Advanced has been designed to reduce clutter and allow for better airflow. By adding more space behind the motherboard tray, more space is given to hide extra lengths of cable.
\nCable management and routing has also been made easy by providing access holes where they\u2019re most needed. Notches has also been added that allow you to attach cable ties to the rear of the motherboard to further help keeping this neat and tidy. Removable dust filters are also pre-fitted to the front of the case as well as the PSU air intake at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Stay cool<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/strong>One of the most important aspects of a gaming chassis is for it to keep your components cool and the HAF 912 Advanced doesn\u2019t compromise on cooling. The HAF 912 Advanced comes with a top mounted 200mm fan and a front mounted 200mm fan with a cool red LED light as well as a rear 120mm fan installed. There is also room for an optional side mounted 120 or 140mm fan. The HAF 912 Advanced can also be equipped with water cooling and has been designed to accept an external, top mounted dual 120mm radiator having three pass-through holes with rubber grommets for the tubing.<\/p>\n

A model for every budget<\/strong><\/strong>
\nThe HAF 912 Advanced was designed to meet the requirements of those that want something out of the ordinary, yet affordable. This doesn\u2019t mean quality has been compomised , as the HAF is all about excellence – making this a fantastic choice in terms of features.<\/p>\n
