Cooler Master HAF XB Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Taking the left-hand side of the chassis off, we find there are two ‘levels' to the CM HAF XB. On the bottom we find 4 x 2.5″ bays, and 2 x 5.25″ bays (accessible from the front).

Removing the right-hand side of the chassis, we see space for a power supply and the 2 x 3.5″ X-Dock bays.

Removing the top gives us direct access to the inside of the chassis.

The motherboard tray can be removed to allow the installation of hard disk drives, a power supply and optical drives. This is also great if you are likely to switch motherboards, but keep everything else the same.

At the front of the chassis are 2 x 120mm CM high rpm fans which are configured in an intake position.

The X-Dock is fitted to the front of the chassis, and allows 2 x SATA HDD's to be powered by one Molex connector.

Removing the front of the chassis, we can see the Optical Drive bays and the two fans from the other side.

Bethesda warns fans that Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be getting new updates

Typically, the announcement of a new video game update is met with excitement, as fans look forward to whatever new content / fixes are in store. When it comes to Bethesda though, updates are far less celebrated due to the fact that they often break mods and can even lead to new issues. In service of giving fans a heads-up, BGS has announced that both Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be receiving updates this year.
