Greetings.
I have been having trouble with my Cooler Master HAF 912 case.
Side panels vibrate and this sort of drive me nuts.
First I was thinking that it only related to the panel with fan and the fan mounting is the problem.
But after many tests I can see that even when that fan is off the vibration happen.
Also both side panels vibrate so even if I take out the one with the fan out the other vibrate.
Sometimes I can make it stop by just touching a panel, but It will come back sooner or later (sometimes in 1 minute, sometimes in 10)

Any good advise on how to stop that from happening?
Anyone has a good picture of what they did if you had similar problem?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have a HAF 912 myself. Never has that issue with or without a side fan. It seems like there may be a fit problem with the side panel. Can you move it any side to side?

Do you have a lot of fans in the case? I ask because there may be too much internal intake pressure bucking all the fans. Or a intake/exhaust oscillation happening. Try disabling fans one by one and see if it goes away.

I have Front and top Fans.
I have tried running with fans turned off it still vibrate.
The panels don't seem to be moving side to side at all.
It seems to be not common problem with this case, so I am not sure what actually cause it in my case.
