Introduction:


Cooler Master HAF 932 Chassis

   If you call Cooler Master's position as a household name in the enthusiast world good fortune, then you really must have missed out on the section of their history where their product line has spanned from affordable to incredible, and always coming with something that you can at least settle on. Though Cooler Master's cooling division has only recently been coming back to the fold of no holds barred chilling, their casing section has stayed fresh for quite a while now. Take for example, their Centurion Series - a number of cases built around a common core, affordable with innovative features, and always with enough fans to get you through the day. Or better yet, take the stackers. These cases, ubiquitous rivals to legends Silverstone and Lian Li in the enthusiast sector, found their fame through being able to handle any piece of hardware thrown at them well, and having the ability to accept fairly extreme cooling setups off the bat. That's not even saying what could be done to them with a little bit of modification.

Yet, no single success can grant a company a long enough run to tastefully ride out on, and in the tradition of innovation, CoolerMaster stood from it's laurels, and produced the HAF 932. Being the first of two high flow cases produced by this titan ( the second being the ATCS 840), the 932 comes back to the modern fold by integrating huge, slow spinning fans into a case with an unholy amount of room, dual PSU mounts, and a grand wire management system. There are some problems though - a loss of flexibility even if you ask me. But that's not something I can just give away in the introduction. Read on to find if this taint is minor, or if it could be enough to strike this master of steel and aluminum down.

Features & Specifications:

For once, there's proper marketing information to be found here, rather than the usual copy and paste from an internal memo. Let's take a comfortable scroll.

The specifications however, are not so friendly. So, over they come in the form of a chart
