CoolerMaster HAF 932 case club!

or do you mean all the open holes on the 5.25" drive bay shaft? that can't be helped but I have seen some people cover it up with a mesh it would be pretty time consuming to cut out all the holes to put the clips back on.

Hi guys,
first post here. Will tidy up all of the cables when the video card gets wet, but here is my HAF.

very nice Ricko. you should pop the top power supply plate off to give more ventilation for your radiator intakes I was actually considering removing mine and replacing it with modder mesh so it looks more lian li and not a gaping hole.

Well good news, went to look at them at the local Compusa and made friends with one of the employees he'll be more than happy to get it out for me at 20% off so that out the door price will be ~$124 and that's a price I can't argue with.

very nice.

just purchase some regular Yate Loon High Speed and undervolt them. you could also look into Nexus (Yate Loon) or Noctua and paint them.

there is nothing wrong with using non-led fans on the side panel you could always mount a 12" CCFL in the top and bottom of the case. hell in my books you get points for not using any LED or CCFL, be creative go to a lighting store or shop online there are thousands of different kinds of bulbs and tubes.

pimped out casters thought this was funny, no spinners

Is everything going into my HAF 932. I am going to be keeping the 230mm fans for now, I am shooting for silence with this build so, we shall see. It should be enough air movement for the case to function properly, baring my Scythe CPU fan and the GPUs noise.

Just put in 2 Rhobeus Sunbeam Extremes, 10 Yate Loon High Speed fans, 1 140mm Scythe Haze Maru and moved the stock 140mm behind the HDD cage.

I'll post some benches and some pictures of the case later. But overall, after putting in those 4 fans. I have seen a drop in motherboard temps by about 6-8C. And have been able to get my I7 920 D0 to 4 GHZ (1.25V)(191X21) with 41C/60C. Sounds like a freight train, but heh thats what my sennheiser headphones are for.

This is by far the best case I have owned or ever even worked on. Antecs 9 or 1200 are just trash in comparison, flimsy and poorly manufactured. I actually purchased this at a steal of $99.99 when it was first released, it was quickly sold at a higher price. The work room on this case is nothing short of amazing, you can climb inside of it and STILL install your components The panels are sturdy and strong, unlike the other cases I've mentioned in my post. The pros of this case outweigh the cons in so many numbers I won't even count the pros. However, there are just a couple things I would have like to have seen differently. The wiring for the front panel really gets in the way should you use the top bay for any device with decent depth, I modded the chassis with a dremel to give me more wire routing options.

My other complaint is similar to another members with the issue of the LEDs, I really dislike red so I looked for a blue option to no availability. I did it the hard way and tore apart the front fan and stripped it of its red LEDs and replaced them with some blue ones which took a bit of time due to the extremely thin gauge wire and it breaking so easily.

It actually looks a bit better now with my dual 5.25 military style fan voltage controllers in the front giving it a bit more blue lighting where it was a bit "dull". The pictures don't show that =/

I saw one of these in Tiger the other day. Honestly the build of the case was awesome but the stock fans moved crap for air compared to my M998. Plus what the hell is with no removable Mobo tray?

My main Rig......See system specs for details...

I just got my system swapped into my HAF, and I must say my idle & load temps are literally night-and-day different! I made a lot of mods to it by drilling out the bottom HDD cage, taking out the top 230mm fan, top-mounting the PSU, and using the 4-in-3 CM HDD cage. I also removed the black metal filters from the front plate and those little side columns at an angle in the front. Except for the side and front 230mm fans, I used nothing but the CM r4 120mm Red LED fans (rated 90CFM @ ~22db). I also swapped the 4-in-3 stock fan for r4 Red and changed the orientation.

Fan Configuration: 230mm front fan as intake, 230mm side fan as exhaust, 120mm rear intake, 120mm top exhaust, 2x120mm intakes, and 120mm fan on the 4-in-3 as exhaust. Given the exhaust of my PSU, and 2 video cards, that leaves roughly 35-40 CFM of positive pressure, and the side fan as an exhaust with front low and rear upper intakes creates a vortex of air right above the MoBo. I won't mind dusting this thing out once or twice a month (standard procedure for me anyway). But, with this config. and the positive pressure, there's usually minimal dust build-up anyway. I had a similar config in my old Apevia case which had about 70% of the room this thing does, no fan filters, and the only real dust accumulation was in the HS fins of my Core Contact Freezer.

Moral of the story: This case is AWESOME! I will post pics later tonight after work if I get to it.

All I'd like to do now is swap the black side fan for another 230mm with the red LEDs. I'm also thinking about swapping the annoying as sin blue LED power and HDD indicator lights with something much more subtle...

Cable management was relatively painless as well...

In the works.

Front panel does not work

Help needed. I connect all front panel cables on the m/b but neither the led's nor the reset button works. The only thing that is half working is the power switch which turns the pc on but it DOES NOT shuts it down. Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Nothing special. Just love the whole system.
