Cooler Master HAF - 932.

[Ted93]

I'm considering purchasing the case Cooler MAster HAF 932

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=17&id=5363



I would like to buy this case and I was wondering what do people think of it and does anyone have it? If so have they had a ny trouble with it?

Also are Overclock3D doing a review on it anytime soon because I would like to see what they think of it.

Whaaaa I like that case. Man I could hug you for posting this if I saw you in real life. I was about to purchase a P182, but I think I will be buying this case now €125 over here.

Got to read some reviews though. Am I allowed to link to external reviews?

 

[Ted93]

Yeah I should think your allowed to.

Link away. OC3D is friendly I find it stupid that some sites restrict that type of stuff and find it kinda saddening to constantly see that question asked here

 

[monkey7]

Googling now Will probably post again in 20 mins of drooling and reading ^^

Okay, this is what I saw from photos and in reviews:

- Builtin water reservoir (wondering about the quality though)

- Supports dual PSU (1 in top and 1 in the bottom, which is the primary spot)

- 3x 17dB(A) 230mm red led fans.

side: can be replaced with 4x120mm

top: can be replaced with 3x120mm or another 120mm can be added to the 230mm

- 1x 140mm 17dB(A)fan

- Industrial look

- Large holes for cable management

- Hole in the mobo tray which uncovers the backplate which means easy CPU block switching

- Comoslike screwless design

- Angled 3.5" bays (LiLi, anyone?)

230mm fans are said -by some, OCC rates it 'quiet'- to be noisy though Not really the promised 17dBa promised. The good news is that the case could -in theory- carry at least a few 120mm, 3x240mm and 1x360mm rads Overkill, but a good thing for the hot i7's.

"Each 230mm fan draws 0.4A and is rated at 75 CFM, 19dBa." That sound measurement was taken without any obstacles for sure. Any obstacles in such an airflow cause noise.

Sounds like a good case to me

Does that mean it'll take a 360 rad bolted on the 3 120mm fan mounts in the roof from new? Or are they not all in a line?

 

[monkey7]

I have seen a rad bolted into (on the canadian site, hardwarecanucks, page 12 if I remember it correctly), so it should be able to fit it 'out of the box'

 

[Ted93]

A guy from Aqua-Pcs told me that you could easily stick a triple radiatior on the top.

 

[Ted93]

So what do people think of that case?

 

[monkey7]

Quite silent, huge and good airflow.

I'll be ordering one today or tomorrow (more likely today), and I will post a (mini) review of it as soon as possible Delivery time is 6-10 days though.

Ordered, together with a 24" screen which also has 6-10 days delivery time.

I accidentally came across this post which shows the HAF 932 with an i7 system in it

I somehow like the looks of the case and cable management seems to be quite good too, considering there's a 1000w psu in there.

Btw, the store I ordered emailed me, they said the delivery time will be 8-10 days. When looking at the customer care I have seen from them (answering emails at 23.00 or even 01.30) I guess this is a pessimistic estimate. Personally I'm hoping for about a week

Persnally I don't like the look of it. Too much plastic however it does appear to be a very good case. Bit-Tech have reviewed it.

Can't post a link as the "friendly" people at OC3D will not permit it.

Can't post a link as the "friendly" people at OC3D will not permit it.

That would be to stop the lowlife spamming scum who think that OC3D members are interested in watches, mobile phones and counterfeit software for under $50.

 

[monkey7]

The looks... ah.. The case will be under my desk most of the time anyway.

I also ordered some spire soundpad at the local store today. This will serve to dampen everything that even thinks about creating vibrations in the case, which is my main concern with a case that does not have HDD dampening.

 

[Ted93]

Only trouble with me getting the case is it will cost £70 EXTRA to ship to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Which is where I live and I can't find any distributors tht sell it locally.

 

[monkey7]

Hmm I'd say there would be a dealer in Dubai. Can't you email CoolerMaster or post on their forums for information about it?

EDIT: or use this: http://www.coolermaster.com/wheretobuy.php?language=en

The united emirates do not seem to have any retailers, but nearby countries might

 

[Ted93]

Thanks alot! Saved me some trouble there.

That would be to stop the lowlife spamming scum who think that OC3D members are interested in watches, mobile phones and counterfeit software for under $50.

Thought that might be the reason. Does it work? I thought it might result in 16 spam messages to delete rather than 1.

 

[Ted93]

So monkey7 have you recieved the case yet?
