Cooler Master HAF II 500 reviews

I want just the front fans for a custom application, hopefully they offer them.

I really hope they put these fans in a better case. Both better looking and better built case. Maybe with a couple extra 3.5" bays. Would replace my Fractal Torrent in a heartbeat.
 
JFC, I've been waiting for a proper replacement for my HAF X and could never decide on anything recent (I even made a thread on it a while back). But I see this still doesn't have the 230mm fan on the side for the GPU. 🫤

I'll watch the review though and may still order one. Honestly they only reason I want to replace the HAF X is for modern IO since I can't ever find replacement boards online for it. My USB ports on it are trashed and I'd like USB C at this point.

Man, I miss the giant side intake fans from the old HAF X days, but getting modern front IO and USB-C without messing with bay adapters is almost worth the upgrade alone

Should be $150 not $200 “on sale”.

$200 seems fair to me for it. I paid $200 for my HAF X in 2009. That would be $319 today or $129 in 2009 USD.

Same here, I don't know what today's case maker's aversion to side panel fans is other than maybe aesthetics because it partially blocks the view of the GPU. I care more about function than form and as long as it's cool and quiet that's all that matters to me unless they go out of their way to make it look hideous somehow. But I think I'll be picking this case up soon now and finally retire my ol'HAF X.
