Cooler Master HAF XM Full Tower Chassis Review

The completed product took me around 25mins to put together, which for a chassis of this size is a good time given that overall cable management looks neat and tidy.  As you can see, the cable guard covers all the major power cables from the PSU and keeps things looking smart, add to that the use of some BitFenix Alchemy cables to and from the motherboard as well as the front hard drive dock, all of which keeps things looking uniform and has also helped keep airflow to our GTX 560 Ti unobstructed.

There was more than enough room for the Antec 920 Kuhler too, although I did have to remove the rear 140mm fan in favour of the 120mm fans of the radiator.

Out Kingston SSD fits nicely in the pull out trays and we still have ample storage thanks to the remaining 5 hard drive trays and the two hot-swap bays.

Around the back of the chassis we see that all the components are well spaced and there is plenty of ventilation for our GPU thanks to the extra ventilation on the expansion slot covers.
