The only thing I like from them, they no longer make.
HAF XB is such a cool little case, wish there was a newer variant tho. Something with less pointless ventilation (collects annoying amounts of dust) in weird places, maybe a bit taller so the power supply can sit on its side and take up less space (and the underside chambers a bit bigger).
Edit; god damnit, i just realized im describing a rackmount server case (sort of?)
I also loved my HAF XB, but it's a little shallow when GPUs are over 30cm long. I recently switched back to a tower which fit under desk more easily, but is otherwise pretty mid.
The Jonsbo N5 presses similar buttons, but I wish it had 5.25 bays and more USB ports, and maybe side grips. I suppose you could modify most of those things, but it feels like a waste to rip out all those hotswap cages.
I still have mine, i dont use it for gaming so GPU doesnt matter much; its a utility/home server box now. I slapped an optical drive in there, and plan on getting one of those IcyDock drive enclosures for the other 5.25 bay to load up with cheap SSDs for VMs and other things.
