DEC_42

I'd say you're better off waiting a bit for a GTX 280.

Wait, I'm not part of this club...

The reason I'm here is to ask whether or not this case is worth its looks for its expandability and versatility. I'm planning on getting a new case, and this one's up against The Apevia X-Jupiter, Antec 1200, CM690, and Antec 300. I just can't decide between these.

I Love mine its big It had a lot of room for cable management. I was able to put a Swiftech MCR320 raidiator and one set of fans and a hollowed out fan for the shrouds and there is still plenty of room.

A few questions to HAF owners....

1. I know the 932 has lots of fans, but are the fan headers the standard 3 pin type that can be plugged into a motherboard, so that they can be controlled by the BIOS? If not, how are these presented? i.e. a single molex connector etc.

2. I'm sure I've asked this before but can't remember the reply. If you install a TRUE CPU Cooler, does this cooler get in the way of large side fan? (i.e. do you have to remove the side fan to run a TRUE cooler.

3. And if the fans can't be controlled by the motherboard, should I look at getting a 3rd party controller to control the fans? I'd like the computer quiet when it's not working hard, but be able to speed up to cope with my air cooled overclockeded Q9450. Currently at 3.0Ghz, but would like to run higher once I can properly cool the thing [3.2Ghz gets the CPU upto 70c with IntelBurnTest]

I can only answer #2 to be exact, sorry. Yes you can remove the side fan, it's just screws. But a TRUE should fit, it's a HUGE Case

For #3, the fans already run at 19dB (700CFM), I dont think a fan speed controller would be necessary unless you already have one or plan on using 4x 120mm fans in the 23cm fan slots. As for a TRUE fitting, there shouldnt be any problems even with that big fan on the side panel.

On a side note, I think I am going to get this case this weekend.
$129.99 at Micro Center until November 9, 2008.

I am now a proud owner of the HAF 932. I will be posting pics of my build tonight or early tomorrow when I get back home. I have high expectations for the case.
