A Detailed Look – From the Outside (Cont’d)
Moving around to the rear of the enclosure reveals a fairly typical ATX-tower layout except the power supply is mounted at the bottom of the enclosure instead of the top. A 140mm exhaust fan comes pre-installed and there are three different openings for routing external liquid-cooling hoses in and out of the chassis.
At the bottom of the rear panel is the power supply opening for mounting a standard ATX power supply unit.
All of the expansion card brackets contain ventilation slots, which along with the slotted openings on the back, allows warm air to exhaust out the rear of the case driven by the positive internal air pressure.
Flipping the HAF XM enclosure upside down exposes four audiophile-style rubber feet. The mesh covered opening towards the back of the bottom panel allows outside case air into the power supply compartment.

off course, don’t forget to look directly into her “bridge” this will completely create a subconscious breakdown
in her mind. It is difficult to say that the theory of repression is false in the
case of sexual abuse, because there is some evidence that people do forget things
that were especially traumatic.
great review, you guys
great review, you guys overlooked the fact the how HAF-XM has latches only on one side-panel and other one has thumb screws. Also in order to remove the front panel, both the X-docks need to be removed which is a real shame considering how good CM has implemented hot-swap HDD bays on their other cases.

I have a Corsair 500r and I have had nothing but trouble with the front panel connectors. I am about to replace it for the second time under warranty.
