Cooler Master HAF Stacker System Review

Up Close:  HAF Stacker 945 assembled

The HAF stacker 945 isn’t actually sold as a single item, but Cooler Master recognise that adding an additional 915 to a 935 system by definition makes a 945.  Of course you don’t have to put things together as we have, the system as you know by now is fully modular and widely reconfigurable (did we just make that word up?).  We’ve chosen to have the main case sandwiched between the 915F below and the 915R above.  When you get to the build section you’ll see why.

Fully assembled the 945 stands 938mm tall, shame it’s not another 7mm taller really but hey ho.  It also weighs in a smidge over 26kg, and that’s before you’ve built into it.  A LAN box it ain’t, not without the help of Pickford’s anyway.  We can’t help wondering how Cooler Master got this past the burocrats in the EU who had they seen it would surely have muttered the four worst words in the English Language… “Health and F***ing Safety”  How this has got through without a large sticker warning of the danger of crushing should you climb on it or pull on it is beyond us.  Think we’re joking, if you’ve you bought a large screen TV recently you’ll know they come with just such a warning and in some instances a lanyard to secure them to a wall.
