Dude how long did you have that HAF case before you got bored of it?

actually I'm not bored with it at all i like it with the exception of no dust filters. But i was working on that lol. The main reason beside i like white cases (and this one is awesome) for changing is the 240mm floor support. Since I'm getting the EK block for my gpu I was just going to try it on a 120mm rad and see how it did but now lol I dont have to lol. I see this case as complete with one minor exception. By Complete I mean I'm not going to have to mod it to make my stuff fit. While that is the fun part of it I'm liking not having to for a change.

Best part of the deal is I had my 932 sold before I nailed down the 810 lol. I was dealing with this cat on [H] for some other stuff i had for sale and he had said you got any other Hafs for sale. (Snow Storm is on the sales block) And I had just seen the switch 810 for sale. So i replied with as a matter of fact I have a 932 I'm going to be selling soon. so for 225$ shipped he's getting it with the other parts I sold him.

iirc there nor due out til this week I saw something about the 7th as well. But then again I've seen others saying they had ordered it already too.

LOL forgot to give my first impressions.

Well she is a very striking case very rugged and well build, the powder coating is excellent I cant feel any variations or ruff spots on the areas that matter most. One spot the air vent under the psu (inside the case) is ruff but it appears to be meant to be. But hey how often do ya feel the case under the psu. Everything fits very very well. One thing most reviews dont mention about the top vent part. is that when its closed it kinda pops into the cuts and seals it off. not as wishy washy as it appears in some video's. Its still my least favorite part of the case i am thinking of ways to mod it but I may just let it be.

any particulars you want covered just ask

well disaster has struck rebuild on hold for now. My AX850 doesnt seem to want to power up
sad.gif
guess its a good thing I have this back up rig crappy as it may be. might be my main for a week or 2

WHEW!!!!!!!! mesa got lucky

seems some water got in it when I was draining my loop. noticed spot of water on the fan. Blew it out with compressed air real good and let a fan run on it for about an hour and tried it again

heres a few for now, but keep in mind more changes are coming so like cable management wasnt a priority. well on the back I made the inside pretty decent. plus I'm losing the lower hdd cage when i get the new rad for the gpu so I have alot of extra cables for those hdd's that will be gone going to transfer all files to one hdd for now and get a larger hdd when prices drop back to sane levels.

side by side with my 932

im liking the front, its a good balance of white and black and its goes with the black mesh at the bottom and also the black strips running down the side.

Nice job mate, keep the updates and pics coming
