I just got my HAF 932 case several days ago to replace my TJ09 and the first thing i noticed after taking it out of the box is just how short it is. You gotta understand that my TJ09 is almost 24" long so after looking at it for 2 years and being used to such a long case this was the first thing that caught my eye. So i took a tape measure and measured the lenght, height and width and to my surprise this case is a lot shorter than advertised on the Cooler Master site, its actually approx. 21-3/8" with the front grill area not 22.7" as advertised so what happened to almost 1-1/2" of space? Other dimesions are in line with whats stated, actually the height is about 1/2" more if you measure the fill port area. So the question is did i get a defective case or Cooler Master just plain lied about the size? Id be interested to hear from others that own this case, are your dimesions the same as mine?
Don't get me wrong, i love this case, this is the only thing that i'm unhappy with. I need room in my case, lots of it, for different reasons, this why i only buy full towers so when i paid for case 22.7" long thats what i want to get. I confess, i havent actually put anything in as i intend to paint it but i will do a test installation with mobo, PSU, graphics, CPU cooler just to see how much room i have to work with it and if i'm unhappy i'll consider returning it on the grounds that it was not as advertised. So if anyone here has this case, plz tell me what your dimensions are like. Sorry for the long post but i felt that i had to bring it up and expose Cooler master if they indeed lied.
