In 2008, Cooler Master introduced the enthusiast market to its line of HAF (High Air Flow) chassis with the HAF 932 full-tower. The much more affordable and refined HAF 922 mid-tower arrived one year later, only to be eclipsed by the HAF X full tower in 2010. For 2012, Cooler Master has set their eyes on taming the beastly HAF X down to a more versatile and more manageable form factor. The fruit of their labor is the HAF XM mid-tower, which we first laid eyes on at CES 2012. Join us as we take a look around this chassis to see just how closely it has followed in the footsteps of its big brother.

The iPhone 4 is a beautiful piece of technology, but the use of glass on both sides comes at the price of durability.  However, it's a shame to have so much thought put into its appearance and then immediately have to dump it all into a bulky case, making its appearance and form factor ultimately irrelevant.  However, Arctic wants to help you protect your fragile new gadget, but sacrifice as little of the naked design as possible with their Ultra Slim Soft Case for the iPhone 4/4S.

Sandy Bridge is now a very mature platform, and Ivy Bridge will be knocking on the door this week.  However, Ivy Bridge does not offer much in terms of performance over Sandy Bridge, so Sandy Bridge is the furthest thing from becoming irrelevant, and, in fact, if Ivy Bridge pushes Sandy Bridge pricing down, it may find its own boost to keep it strong.  As throngs of enthusiasts dump their "old" parts to fund Ivy Bridge builds, many people may be looking to grab secondhand Sandy Bridge parts for an upgrade or an additional machine.  Folders may be a large crowd to gobble up awesome hardware at a good price, and we'll be looking at how the i5-2500 may benefit them in terms of efficiency.

The GTX 560 family is rather unique in that clock speeds haven't been set by Nvidia, as we've seen in their other cards.  Nvidia GPUs are also "behind" ATI's offerings when it comes to tri-monitor (or greater) setups.  The end result is that Zotac has taken a standard GTX 560, clocked to the standard for the GTX 560 Ti models, and offers greater functionality for multi-monitor setups that Eyefinity may offer.
