Talking HAF932 Front fan mod...?
Hey guys, I've been thinking of replacing the 200mm fan up front with a couple 120's or 80mm's...

Has anyone attempted this kind of mod before?

I don't much care for the amount of noise it will generate, I just want more airflow than the single 200mm.

Thanks for any and all input

If anyone has already done something like this, please please please link it

I believe its a 230mm, isn't it?

well, i suppose if you are handy with enough zipties and possibly drilling (although maybe not necessary) then i suppose it can be done.

Yeah, I replaced my front 200mm fan with a single 120mm fan that pushes more air, then put that fan on a fan controller so I didn't have to listen to it.

the HAF-932 by standard has holes intended for a 120mm intake fan. It sounds like he wants multiple fans.

You don't need to mod. The HAF already comes with holes for 2 120mm fans in the front, 3 in the top, and 4 on the side.

The 230mm fans that come on the HAF push approx. 150cfm at full speed, and they're virtually silent. I am really skeptical of a single 120mm fan that pushes "more air" after being undervolted by a fan controller.

Dual Ultra Kaze's or better yet, some 250cfm Delta's...
