Cooler Master HAF 932

[yaddam205]

Fantastic paint job i43, good cable management too.
Looks like my favorite HAF so far.

[LuckyNV]

yep looks really swish, what did you use exactly ?

[i43]

Thanks yaddam205


@ LuckyNV
most body parts - frame , interior ,etc was done with powder coating (black matte)
/ .. or as they use to say @shop ..'' black semy gloss''' ?//
only (side-paneles.. (..isnide) was done with ''spry bottle '' method..
and exterior was left as ..original .. factory painted ..

any way just a note !!! ( my own experience ) - HAF 's factory /original painted roof, bottom, sidepanels (exterior) cover does NOT LIKE?/(allow?} re covering with powdercoating tech.. (heating?)

so better drill off rivets, and paint them separetely ..
ok sorry thats just my opinion .. on base my experience .. well,
i hope ..YOU DO NOT WANT TO see HAPPEN THIS TO YOU -
( bottom and roof panels turned out kind of ''a crocodile,- (alien) skin bubble effect''

. take Your time and check
how Your's new paint/method works with curent components

the HAF will be the bestest case ever if it comes with dust filters

links dont work...

[LuckyNV]

the 3rd one does and it looks great

I don't know why CM didn't do this as standard and just added a little extra to the price, makes a good case even better.

1st Complaint I have about this case when you mount the power supply on the bottom they should have made the DAMN holes so you could mount the power supply upside down so the fan is pointing upwards like on the antec 1200 you can with this case my power supply fan will struggle to get air throuh the bottom.

[leoy]

Why Do that? It is better cause it has sufficient space from under to suck the coldest air of the case.

I got my HAF 932 at last! Here's what it looks like:

Sorry for the poor quality, my camera is giving up on me :P

im confused...what is the original front fan led color?is it red, blue, or just plain black?

[LuckyNV]

The front 230mm fan is red LED
I think only RED and plain black are available

[jonneymendoza]

links dont work...

i like the inside of this case but the outside is ugly has hell plus no fan filters

im going for teh lian li pc a70 case and will mod it so that the mobo tray has hoels placed just like the HAF932 case.

[RAND0M1ZER]

Front Fan: Red LED 230mm
Side Fan: Plain 230mm
Top Fan: Plain 230mm
^^All interchangeable
Rear Fan: Plain 140mm

Is it possible to secure GPU into place with screws instead of those tool-less latches? In some cases that is possible. Are those plastic latches enough to keep GPU firmly in there?

[Ozzfest05]

yeah more then enough

[ReVolut1on]

yeah more then enough

Thanks for the quick reply

Also, is this alot smaller from inside than cosmos s? I heard that with cosmos and Rampage II Extreme motherboard i would have to cut off a metal peace to make tri-sli cards fit there because of the PSU at bottom interfering with the third card. If i mounted PSU at the top with HAF, would a small fan fit there next to the PSU. Obviously the 230mm fan would need to be removed but even a small fan would be nice to exhaust some air from top. I really would like to buy this case but I need to make sure that i'm making the right choice. It's either HAF or the Cosmos S /w side window.

[Ozzfest05]

you could have the psu at the top and have two 120mm fans at the top aswell

[ReVolut1on]

Huh??? Omg are you 100% sure?? I will be getting corsair hx1000w psu. If thats true this case is absolutely awesome!!!! You just saved my day

Edit: still one concern left. How much do you actually get dust inside that thing?

[Mad1723]

as Ozzfest05 pointed out, you can mount the PSU at the top by removing the top 230mm fan, and have 2 x 120 at the bottom and maybe add one at the top.

As for dust, it doesn't have dust filters, but as of now, it seems good on my side, but I had it for a too short time to tell. Honestly, I'd say it's better than the Nine Hundred and easier to clean too. Honestly, it shouldn't be a big issue in that case.

[LuckyNV]

I've had this case since Oct now, doesn't seem any dustier compared to my fully filtered CM690 (I filtered it all), not entirely sure why, maybe the dust is coming in and then back out again

[Ozzfest05]

it is a damn good case

[i43]

Is it possible to secure GPU into place with screws instead of those tool-less latches? In some cases that is possible. Are those plastic latches enough to keep GPU firmly in there?

remove the required plastic holders/latches and use bolt/screws,there shouldn't be any problem

btw that HAF's ''tool less'' system holds quite tight my current HD4870x2
on it's place , but i had to use screw on asus Fx sound card,
as cannot be installed on HAF's ''tool less '' so had to remove upper plastic holder


(You don't need to broke the plastic latches - just pull out the wire (axis) remove required plastic latches .. put back the axis .. as simple )

[ReVolut1on]

This case seems just so perfect!! The only downside is lack of dust filters.. My biggest concern however is the PSU 'cos i read that you have to mount it fan-side down. I don't really feel comfortable knowing that my 250€ PSU sucks in everything off my carpet. Is it really impossible to mount it fan up? Is it hard to make some kind of dust filtering there on my own?

Edit: ty for the pic i43

Thanks for your time and some great answers
