CoolerMaster HAF 932 case club!

[brandonwh64]

me too. i would rather have the sidepanel with the fan mounting system

 

[brandonwh64]

Check the side panel and the logo is made into the plexi glass. i looked on CM website for a replacement panel and it says there SOLD OUT

 

[assaulter_99]

I guess you re outta luck man! Maybe your only chance to get one is to trade off.

 

[brandonwh64]

i emailed coolermasters technical support. hopfully i get good news

 

[assaulter_99]

Btw why didn't you get the regular 932? It should have been cheaper, I guess. Anyways, its sucks though, the number of people who have amd's in their 932's, you should have thought that a deal would have gone through quick

How many of you put a fan in the bottom of the case?

O yea here is my 932

Nice work with yours man! Looks nice, the red & black looks agressive. Neat indeed.

P.S That megatron looks nice!

I tried with a fan down, intake. Didn't see much of an improvement, temps stayed the same for me. Only change was more dust (since it doesn't have a filter)

 

[Super XP]

I got a 120mm fan at the bottom. I got my front, back and bottom blowing in and my top fans blowing out. Seems to work out for me. Keeps my CPU at good temps.

Compared to you all, i have a 922, maybe thats the difference...

 

[brandonwh64]

assaulter - i got this case for almost the price of a 922 shipped so it was a great deal.

Here is my paint job

 

[assaulter_99]

Nice job. I see the 932 doesnt have a lot of dead angles. I had a hard time spraying some angles with the 922.

 

[assaulter_99]

Thats what I'm talking about. It was a pain in the *ss to reach these spots. To rub it more, it is angled.

 

[brandonwh64]

nice assualter!

[Super XP]

Very nice

 

[ERazer]

Heres my HAF no mods yet tho only had it for x2 week

 

[assaulter_99]

Nice man, are you planning to leave it stock? Man, that megatron looks huge in nearly every case i know, in the 932, it seems so "small" rofl. Nice build.

You want to talk black, how about doing something like this, I love Super's case

 

[WarEagleAU]

These are looking awesome. I have mine just stock for now, not sure if I will paint it black or not. I do like how super has his and it looks like it has a black powder coat on the inside? I may, this summer sometime, actually take this bish apart and paint it and maybe do some modding. Get me a hold over case until then (perhaps an Obsidian 700D )

Well just wanted to say hello. Just got my 932 Blue in from the egg today. Waiting on a Kingwin Lazer PS.

Couple of things first. I thank all of you for posting all of this great information. I have bookmarked this thread and will definitely be getting some ideas. My Previous case was a 5 year old Asus Ventos in of course Blue! So to say I am pumped at taking on this build in an understatement. I have refitted the asus with new parts all the the time,but this one will allow me to have better cable management and a side windows, something I have always wanted!

Here are the Specs for the Build
Haf 932 Blue
Phenom II X4 965BE
GSkill Ripjaws 8GB 2x4
Zalman CNPS9500 AM2
80GB Intel X25-M G2 (boot-Games)
300GB Velociraptor (apps, some storage)
2TB WD Green

The only Mod I am looking to do at this time is installing 4-in-3 Device Module, simply for more positive airflow.

Thoughts? Oh and truly thanks again this thread convinced me away from an Antec 1200, so thanks!

Clean that up man. It looks like a bomb went off in your case.

It looks like a solid build mate. Btw, welcome, hope you have fun! This thread has been dormant for quite some time. Post some pics too, that would be nice!

Hef 932

Hello and this is my first post .

Just been reading through this thread and there is many ideas to spend a lot of time on this case to achieve some really cool results .

I brought a tyan dual xeon board and was looking for a case when i found a guy selling my motherboard in this style of case . So i had to jump in and buy the haf 932 case . first thing i had to do was make the board fit by adding one new brass stand off to an area there was no hole for it , that was fun in it self just lucky to have a tap for the thread , so drilled a hole and taped it out and screwed it in and now the whole motherboard is supported by the screws in the right places .

Second thing I'm looking at doing now that i know the tyan S7025WAGM2NR board fits into the case not with much room mind you , ( I will post a pic of that if anyone is interested . ) , Is to paint the inside i have read a few posts people sand the metal protection of the inside the gray colored metal protector then apply a primer and paint the final color a few coats then a clear coat . This seems like a lot of work can you get a simpler primer that will bond to the metal protection directly ?

One thing i read back a ways is some one said something about the front lights turning there room into a disco at night . I have not looked at this yet , but the last case i had, had really bright led's and a clear white plastic piece that helps to transmit the light to the front side of the case in my last case i got a little bit of candy apple red paint witch is basically a tinted clear coat and applied that to the plastic on the inside next to the led and this toned that really bright flashing light down to a more manageable level . I hope that helps if you have not found a solution .
