  1. Im never getting rid of my 932; my 'HAF bro' isnt getting rid of his ever either. His temps dropped about 15c switching to that case from a pretty NZXT greenhouse/hotbox. Thats a nice lookin' case you have... I do like the look of the modern simple glass cases, but their thermal performance is abysmal. Side fans kick ass, and bigger is better; quieter with higher CFM over greater area. Under load, my system is still quieter than a PS4. I had 16x 2.5" 7200rpm Samsung HDD's in two RAID arrays with same AMS/Venus 4x2.5" backplanes, with two ARECA 1222 RAID cards, a Blu Ray burner, card reader, and STILL had 4x HDD's and 2x SSD's in that HAF 932. ZERO thermal issues. Ive yet to find a case that is worth it to replace this 932. I wish i never sold my 2nd one for the bullshit HAF-X; that thing was less adaptable AND louder with WORSE temps. If you find a 932, snag it.
  2. LMAO thanks! Glad to be aboard. A GREAT buddy of mine scored a MINT 932 Advanced from his coworker for $40 two months ago... I delidded, OC'ed, LiquidMetal/PTM7950/TGPP10'ed and tuned his 13600KF and RTX 3070... We may not be related, but now we joke that we are HAF bros... His has all-black guts and silver MSI mobo, mine is grey guts with a black Apex Encore mobo, so 'switched at birth' HAF bros... Our girls just dont get it... Doesnt matter; still one of THE BEST performing cases for airflow and options out there... Those 230mm side fans are so quiet and push soo much air... Plus the front 230's and bottom 120's help... His build in below pic while testing. i wish Cooler Master built a more modern HAF 932 equivalent; even the HAF-X was a downgrade.
  3. Hey all, happy to be aboard, i'm an OG from OCN getting back into it. Celebrating 15 years with the same HAF932 case this fall, and as many builds in it. From i7 920 to i9 14900K; first SSD to only NVME and SSD's, X58 to Z790, 9800 GX2 to 3080 Ti, triple channel DDR3 to dual DDR5, cathode tubes to the modern RGB LED craze, this case has always been part of the ride... Shoutout to GanjaSMK for the info; good to be back to an indie OC forum! First pic late 2008 (?), 2nd late 2023...
