The Cooler Master HAF X has a the ATX form factor. ATX is the most ubiquitous of case standards, providing the largest array of compatible hardware on the market. Using the ATX standard, the case can house motherboards and power supplies with form factors ATX, E-ATX, Micro-ATX and XL-ATX. The dimensions of the case itself (LxWxH) are 550mm x 230mm x 599mm.
The Cooler Master HAF X has nine expansion slots, so there is plenty of room for extra components, which may be a deciding factor when planning on the longevity and build type of a PC system. The case has six 5.25" drive bays, which is more than enough to house various drives, particularly optical drives. With five 3.5" drive bays there is also plenty of extra HDD space as well. You can even slot in an SSD or a laptop drive in one of the two specifically designed 2.5" drive bays
Made primarily of Steel, the Cooler Master HAF X is built to be strong and well-ventilated. Steel cases are generally fairly cheap and sturdy, but also tend to be quite heavy. Whatever your case's material, it is important to keep a consistent airflow so that heat doesn't build up inside. It is therefore advised that you make use of the available built-in case fans and fan installation sections.
