I second that. Rustoleum Satin Black FTW!

So I just joined today and have been working on my HAF 932 for a few days now. I just have a few questions if someone could help me out here. I have an Swiftech MCR220QP Rad and a Swiftech MCB-120 Radbox. I was wondering where I should mount it.

A. Outside the case on the 120/140mm fan, vertically with the barbs facing the case or facing away?

B. On top of the case above the 230mm fan, horizontally with the barbs facing up or down to the case? Then reversing the fan to blow the heat out of the case instead of intake?

OR

C. Inside the case in place of the 230mm fan, horizontally with the barbs down?

Any ideas will be helpful. If need be I can take some pics in about 8 hours to show what I mean. :-)

The beauty of the 932 is the amount of space you have to play with up top. Like several others in here have done, I would mount the radiator inside in the top of your case with some nice 120mm fans blowing out. I'm a big fan of having a clean looking case which is why I mod'd my 922 to fit all my radiators internally even though it was a wee bit tight. End result, a clean looking case with no hoses hanging out of it.

If you mount internally, you won't need the radbox and can return it / exchange it to put towards some nice 120mm fans.

If you are going with a basic black, of course primer it, but I went with Engine block gloss paint. Its cheap, VERY durable and doesn't care about heat, or any cooling additive you spill on it.

Thanks so much for the help with the paint. I'm going to go with the Rustoleum Satin Black paint. I'm guessing that I need to also use primer... any suggestions?

I recommend washing each piece with dish soap and rinsing with hot water. Then when you are handling it, your hands will be just as clean. Latex gloves are a help, but not necessary as long as your hands are freshly cleaned. You do not need primer. However, you should pick up a Scotch-Brite painter's prep/scuff pad and go over all the surfaces after washing and prior to painting. Do not worry about any high spots or edges where you scuffed off the factory primer down to bare metal. Just be sure NOT to touch it with oily hands. Then just blow it of with some DUST OFF -Or wipe it briskly with a clean cotton rag(T-shirt material) before painting. Follow the recommended directions for painting and you'll have a perfect finish.

Thanks

By the way, while taking off the tool-less things, I seem to have almost broken one of them (white stress marks apeared). Is there a place where I can get extras? (possibly other than e-bay)

Not sure how many are in the package but the CM Store sells some amount for $4.99 USD. http://cmstore.coolermaster-usa.com/...roducts_id=429

Probably get in contact with CM support and they'd give you an accurate amount per package.

BTW thanks Envy for the advice. I will look into this when I get home.

I have to believe it's just a single one.
