Cooler Master HAF Stackable Modular PC Case - Overkill & We Love it! - PAX Prime 2013

The video provides an in-depth look at Cooler Master’s HAF Stackable Modular PC Case concept showcased at PAX Prime 2013. It begins by explaining the core idea: a base HAF 935 ATX chassis that can be expanded with modular HAF 915 units, either mounted above or below, enabling multiple configurations without rivets. The host demonstrates how a single 915 can be added on top of the 935, or multiple 915 units can be stacked to create increasingly large, customizable rigs. The showcase highlights practical configurations, including a storage-focused module and a high-performance water-cooled setup featuring dual 360 mm radiators, a 4770K, 16 GB RAM, two GTX 690s, and full liquid cooling. The video emphasizes flexibility, such as choosing front vs rear power supplies to accommodate tall CPU coolers or full MB usage, and shows how tubing and cables can be routed between stacked modules for maximum customization. A notable side feature is the cherry MX switch sampler, offered by Cooler Master, presented as a bridge for newcomers to mechanical keyboards, with multiple switch types and an immediate store credit incentive. The presenter notes anticipated availability around mid-October and closes with thanks to sponsors, underscoring the event’s tech-forward spirit and hands-on exploration of modular PC design.
