I plan to paint the interior black, sleeve the cables and install some liquid cooling...

Picture

the doors swing open on both sides and the front swings down. this is what a MOD is he didn't compromise the inside of the HAF very much either. it's hard to believe it's the same case.

man that can't even really be called a HAF anymore, it's so rocked out

that is craftsmenship.

 

[BumbleBee]

yeah all his own sheet metal and acrylic. amazing. you know what would be even cooler if it had hydraulic springs and you push a button and the whole thing opened up haha.

The air flow is excellent. Which was my primary goal. Why I left the HD cages out. I plan on adding 2 more 120cm fans, 1 exhaust and 1 intake.

The board does look tiny, although it is an ATX. I think the combination of the large case, large HSF, large duel slot GPU cooler, and tall memory kinda dwarfs the MoBo.

Hey Evo85 !

May i ask ... what fans you run (feed?) via Your's NZXT Sentry LX ?

i recall there was discussion (review forums), where that controller was introduced ..
and i had (still have) an issue .. as NZXT Sentry LX doesn't get full control over
HAF's Big Fans .. and i recall .. the the reason mentioned,
- was due to the power (amperage) mismatch between fan(s) and controller's
port output ..

Did You have found any ''modd'' to trick the controllr ?

(i have been running all 3 big fans via this controller .. so far nothing melted ... but cannot
adjust the fans either )

TIA

Yeah i have the NZXT as well...i could swear that one day i came home and i was able to control the big fans...i turned the computer off and went to bed....got up next day and it wouldnt let me any more....maybe i was imagining things....LOL...

if anyone has a mod that will ake it work please speak up....

 

[BumbleBee]

ok this is the problem, the NZXT Sentry LX has only 4 watts of power per channel most Fan Controllers have 7 watts per channel this is why I recommended in my guide the Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus (7w), Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme (30w) and the Lamptron FC-2 (40w) because you can control all 4 Side Fans on 1 Channel (Knob) or any of the Stock 230mm Fans they require a lot of Power to startup the NZXT Sentry LX doesn't very good build quality either.. by the way if you haven't figured it out there is no way to "mod" this problem with the NZXT Sentry LX without soldering. you really want to stay away from LCD based Fan Controllers.

this one the Aqua Multiswitch is the Holy Grail of Fan Controllers but expensive. watch the demo video it's crazy! Aqua Aquaero looks nice too I like how all their products can work together.

 

[Evo85]

The 230's CANNOT be used on the NZXT. I have a 6 port fan bus doing the job of that. (If you look at the 4th pic, you can see the blue leds from it glowing beneath the HD)

I only have one fan on the NZXT right now, the rear 140. I will be adding 2 120mm fans that will be controlled by it. The other two will be NB/SB fans.

Damn well no HAF for me today, UPS requires a signiature for it...(odd...first time at my address in years they've wanted one...must be because of package size??)..well they tried delivering it 3 hours before I got off of work, so I called and told them to hold it. I happen to work about 1 block away from the UPS warehouse so I've set it up for them to hold it and I'll grab it tomorrow on the way home. I was kinda stoked to get that case going though lol, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.



Edit: Well they called 20 minutes after I filed online to pick it up and said it was ready...I just got home with the brand new HAF, gonna start tear-down shortly!

Edit II: Got everything swapped over. Amazing cable management, love how the side panels swivel off instead of straight back sliding like my 900. It's quite a bit bigger than I was expecting, all my stuff looks tiny and well spaced instead of cramped. So far cooling is amazing around 5-10C lower compared to my 900, though the 120mm's were on low and the 200mm on hi, it'd be closer to 4-8C if the 120's were on med or hi. But still that is amazing, I was able to drop the fan speed on my GTX260, so far I'm very content! I think I'll be using this case for a long time.

Glad your happy and lol, everyone says it's a lot bigger than they expected!

 

[BumbleBee]

going to update my guide to include some 922 info. congratulations Kur.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Sign me up, Im definitely up for this. I love this case, even though its freaking huge and hurts my back to haul around when building inside it.

 

[Evo85]

I was wondering if you were going to join up WarEagle.

 

[BumbleBee]

as co-owner of the club I recommend we get a bimbo stripper to paddle his ass.

 

[WarEagleAU]

HAHA! I may have to second that.

On a serious note, Im going to read up on your cooling guide Bee. I glanced over it and am really liking what I Saw. I did have some pictures up of my case awhile back, it wasnt a project log mind you, but I think it was in hardware section. I dont really have any sort of cable management really working, but it is a hell of alot better than what I originally had with my Sigma Luna W

 

[BumbleBee]

one thing I want to point out is according to Cooler Master forums some people have received the HAF 932 without the side 230mm fan mounted so you will need a allen key to mount, added this to my guide also added a link to the 5.25" to 3.25" hard drive adapter.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Thats not a bad idea, but the way they package it (mine from Mwave came in just the big box but CM did a wonderful packing job for it) really shouldnt hurt having it installed. Im thinking of maybe replacing that 230 on the side with 4 Scythes one day, not sure though because I love the huge fans

 

[BumbleBee]

so yours didn't come installed on the side panel? how about anyone else that has bought one recently.

I have it 4 about 3 weeks now and the fan was installed.
Why would they sell it w/o the fan anyway???

 

[BumbleBee]

don't know if you guys seen this but at CeBIT Cooler Master had a prototype of the new "Havoc" case under lock and key. looks like some kinda Scout Sniper variant. also here is a sneak peak at the Antec P1000 looks like Antec made a radical change very ugly case but I like the power bar (which they stole from the Ultra M998 Case) and suspension in the hard drive cage, suspension is the future.
