A Detailed Look at the HAF Stacker 925 Chassis
Currently the HAF Stacker 925 Mid-Tower case is only available when purchased as part of the HAF 935 Mod-Tower package. We can hope that Cooler Master may decide to release this chassis for sale in the future as it is a very nice looking and functional chassis on its own.
The modular front I/O panel contains the following:
• Power On-Off push button
• Microphone jack
• Headphone jack
• (2) USB 2.0 ports
• (2) USB 3.0 ports
With the side panels off, the 925 front bezel can be easily removed by releasing six plastic tabs from behind the bezel. This provides access for removing the 5.25” bay covers and exposes the two front 120mm fan mounting locations
Looking into the left side with the side panel off reveals a typical mid-tower case layout with the power supply located at the bottom rear and drive cages in the front. There is a huge opening behind the motherboard area to allow for easy installation and/or removal of CPU coolers if desired. Four rubber grommeted openings around the motherboard area allow for clean-easy cable routing.
very Beautiful!!

I think once you get into multiple stacks of computers, you should probably just buy a rack…

That can probably support a desk it’s so high!
I like the stack idea! Would
I like the stack idea! Would be nice if the cost would be less and more connection options would be available.
Now, hence the stacked model (HAF Stacker 915F) is for mini-ITX, it won’t work for me. What happened if you want an SLI configurations? Board won’t fit even if you use PCIe Riser cables. (far as I know, the smallest SLI x2 is a Micro-ATX)
It was also odd to see the motherboard at the bottom. I understand the design choices for the PSU and Fan location. But wouldn’t this allow more dust to settle on the mobo? That design also removes access to cool air from the bottom to enter.
Humm…
Would be cool to have a
Would be cool to have a dedicated streaming machine stacked on top of your gaming rig.
The small case/system up top
The small case/system up top running the KVM and hosting whatever OS/s is/are needed for general use, and the lower big rig system running a streamlined gaming OS, and the gaming CPUs/GPUs, the gaming segment OS running headless server style on its own hardware, but under the control of the main OS, running on the top system’s VM, with the lower system free of any bloatware or unnecessary for gaming services, i.e. Steam OS on the gaming system, or other OS if the user does not mind the un-removable bloat. These modular cases could make for a nice little home basic computing/gaming cluster, short of going to a completely rack based configuration.
When I first saw this a while
When I first saw this a while back, I thought you could just add extra space on top or below the case, like modular drive bays, etc.
Keep all the drives and PSU on the bottom of the computer with the big area dedicated to hardware, etc, and the top piece for liquid cooling… I suppose you COULD mod this to do that…
