Cons: Not enough roomOther issue with space
Pros: Plenty of roomGood designOptional mobileGood cable management layout Comment:
Maybe i'm a bit critical, but overall this case is great. The interior space is abundant and will suit any motherboard without a hitch. The tool-less design was great. The choice of whether to put casters onto the bottom to give it mobility was nice. There was plenty of access to the back where cables would be hidden away. The bad sides also come with the space. I found it that when I changed to watercooling, there wasn't all that great amount of spacing for running the tubing without removing the stock fans on the top and side panel if I wanted to run everything inside. Another downfall for me was that one of my motherboard power connectors was just maybe 2cm short if I wanted to run it hidden behind and out of sight.Overall, good case and do recommend. |

Cons: Upside-down front USB ports
Pros: HUGECool military stylePacked with features Comment:
This case is amazing. Recently got one for my new gaming rig. What I wanted was something that would be nice and cool for any overclocking that I wanted to do, but with only air cooling as I dont want to go liquid. Also I needed something big as I like to keep nice neat cable management, and have plans to have 2 beefy cards in crossfire, as well as a fairly large CPU Heatsink/Fan.This case is perfect for what I wanted. HAF stands for High Air Flow, and this baby has just that. If you have heat concerns, and don't want to switch to liquid, then this case is an excellent choice. Case comes with 3 big fans and 1 smaller exhaust on the back. Cools great as it comes, but if you want more this baby has tons of holes for adding all sorts of different fans. It is also liquid ready, as it has holes to mount a rad on the top, as well as precut holes for your tubing.Cable management is a breeze as the mobo sits on a tray with space behind for cables. Lots of nice big holes for the cables to fit through. Also having a bottom mounted power supply helps.This case perfectly met my 2 requirements, and also went above and beyond. Its huge, so it has lots of tool-less bays for HDDs and optical drives and all that good stuff. It has a handy little tray on the top, for keeping your usb memory sticks, or mp3 player. It has awesome looks in my opinion. Its got a little window that is supposed to look like security glass, its got "HAF" written on the side in glossy black, in a military style font. It comes with casters as well, which I love.Case is amazing. No problems at all. Only thing wrong with it is the front USB ports are upside-down, but thats no big deal, as all I plug in there is my external hard drive. |

Cons: tooless design, interior and rear panel not painted, overal aesthetics may not appeal to everyone.
Pros: Size, tooless design, build quality, large fans Comment:
Perhaps not the best dollar for it's features anymore, but it is still a solid case with lots of room, and the look appeals to me, but it's not for everyone. I would have definately appreciated a painted interior. Tooless design is also a plus or a minus depending on your preferences.I'm not really sold on dust filters myself, as they dont mean you have to clean your case less, as you need to clean out the filters just as often instead now, and dust still get's in. If no dust got in, you'd have no airflow. That said, a dust filter on the psu would have been appreciated, as that is more annoying to clean out. |

Cons: No fan filters, Tooless drive bays feel a little loose, fan side panel fit could be tighter.
Pros: Tons of room, tooless assembly options, great ventilation/fan setup, many options for watercooling. Comment:
I'll start by saying two things. One - this case is HUGE, and Two - It't HUGE. Overall I really like this case. It was simple to do a nice i7 build with 2 optical drives, a Creative Front Panel I/O setup and 3 HDDs. The optical drive tool-less setup is easy to use but I found it just a bit loose for my liking so I opened the rear panel and secured that side with a couple of screws as I don't plan on swapping out the optical drives in the near future. The HDD setup is fantastic! Super fast to install and they use rubber mounts in the brackets to dampen vibration noise. The fans, though huge are extremely quiet. I was able to fit a Noctua D14 in there while maintaining the stock side fan setup which was great. Cable routing was fairly easy due in no small part to the cavernous interior. If I could recommend 3 improvements they'd be these1 - Put the tooless mounts on both sides to better secure the optical drives2 - FAN FILTERS3 - Maybe add a rubber grommet or dampener to the front of the left panel (the one with the fan), or make the fit a little tighter. It's a little loose and clanks a bit when I accidentally rub it with my knee.The only other improvement I'd do is purely cosmetic, I'd paint the interior black. |

Cons: You have to bend the 3.5 bay trays to get the HD in.
Pros: Lots of room, very quiet, wheels. Comment:
For a case that's just monstrous in size this thing is absolutely quiet. Looks great and setting it up is a breeze. |

Cons: •Grated metal on the top- I labled this is a weakness just because you pretty much cannot have any food or drink near the top of this computer case. Well, you can... However there is a chance you may splash or dump crumbs inside your computer tower, unlikely but always terrible possiblity!• Depending on your build it can take a very long time to et everything nice and neat and the way you want it, especially if transfering from another case. I also covered the bottom inlet vents for the psu and my 120 mm fan with a stretched out face mask and foil duct tape. Just to keep the dust out!
Pros: •Big case •Great cable management • 3 x 230mm fans = awesomeness • All expansion ports and drive bays are tool-less. Very tough case even with all the grating. Stays true to it's name! Even running on air my temps have dropped very considerably! Comment:
• Computer specs Cooler master HAF 932 FT 780i EVGA mobo Intel quad core q6600 oc'd 3.4GHz 1.28v Noctua dual 120mm cpu heatsink Mushkin 2x(2x2Gb) ram oc'd to 850Mhz 5-5-5-18 1.95v 2x 896Mb EVGA GTX 260 sli'd + oc'd to 667/1363/1155 500gb WD hdd 1000w Xion PSU My old case was an apevia xplorer, a relatively low end case. My computer at the time was running so hot it heated my room! The temps on my cpu would go from 52ºC to 65ºC under load my gfx would go anywhere from 55ºC to max of 72ºC. Since installing everything in my new HAF 932, cpu temps = 37ºC to 50ºC under full load, GFX cards = 45º-55º This case is awesome! My choice between Corsair Obsidian and HAF 932 seems a wise one indeed when taking price into consideration. I picked it up for $109 which was an absolutely amazing deal, love the look of it, love how much my temps have dropped atleast 10ºC for both my cpu and gfx cards. Overall I would recommend this for anyone needing more adequate cooling than they currently have. |

Cons: Upside front panel usbBad tool less hard drive mechanismBad 5.25" bay tool less slot
Pros: HugeLarge quiet low RPM fansLooks nice Comment:
Bought the HAF 932 to replace my Antec Sonata III, the 932 was huge since it was a full tower. The stock fans move quite a bit of air but do not come with filters probably guessing it might weaken the air flow. The 5.25" Bay tool less design only uses 2 pins to keep my DVD drive in place which leave a total of 6 holes that are loose. The 3.5" bays required me to bend the thing to put the hard drive in place (felt like it was going to snap). Great full tower case but could've been better. |

Cons: - may attract dust- make sure you have a PSU with long enough cables- Installing HDD was more difficult than I find it to be because it is not screws but plugs that requires a little time to figure out
Pros: - Lots of Space- Room for the biggest video card- Crazy airflow- Easy installation- Great cable mangement Comment:
Super roomy case that has wheels for super convenience. Absolutely love it. As every reviews out there says, this is a builder dream come true. No need to hesitate, just go for it. For the price range of Antec 900, this thing can't be beat. |

Cons: * No speed control for the fans. * USB and Firewire ports are too close to each other and you may have trouble installing two or more USB devices and one Firewire cable at the same time. * Hole for filling water cooling systems has no practical use, as it is too small and you need to open the water tank lid first, which is impossible to be done thru such small hole. * Could have dust filters. * Doesn't come with the necessary adaptor to connect pin 14 (green wire) from the two power supplies, which allows them to be turned on at the same time when you press the case power button.
Pros: * Great quality and impeccable paint job. * Excellent price for a high-end full-tower case, providing a nice cost/benefit ratio. * Use of three big 230-mm fans (with 190-mm blades, though) and one 140-mm rear fan should provide enough air flow even the most high-end system keeping noise level at a minimum. * Great connectivity: eSATA, Firewire and four USB ports. * Set of wheels allowing you to move your PC around. * Meshed slot covers. Comment:
In summary, this is a terrific case for users that want a high-end gaming case but don’t want to give an arm to buy a very high-end all-aluminum model. |

Cons: no black interior/back
Pros: Lots of room. Stays very cool. Looks great. Power supply on the bottom, so it never interferes with cpu cooler. Cable management is great. No screwdriver needed - expansion cards just snap into place. Comment:
I love this case! So easy to get everything installed. It's easily the best case I've ever owned. My I7 overclocked to 4 gig runs cooler in this case than my Q6600 at stock speeds in an Antec case with the same Ultra 120 Extreme cooler. Even with all the fans running, it's much quieter than any of my other PCs due to the large fans being able to provide the same or better cooling at much slower speeds. Cable management is awesome. Everything about this case is excellent, as long as you have the room. It's big. |

Amazing case... seriously.... if you want a quality case, then get this one. I know it was a very good choice. |

Pros: Nice looking, enough space. Comment:
I bought this as a replacement of my TT Armor. It's way better. Easy to install new hardware, video card, harddrive, etc. Thanks to the hole on the plate, it's easier to replace the CPU HSF now. And also the wheel, no need to carry any more. But the top fan is a bit noisy tho. |

I got this beast yesterday, when i took it out of the box I thought wow it's massive! I thought my old tower was big..Love the looks of it. I live in a basement suite and my room can get quite hot so I was pleasently surprised when I noticed how cool the air was at the top of the case, it will keep me cool all summer!I found it very quite, just a low fan sounds, i find it very soothing to fall asleep to, but other than that I don't notice it...Love this case! |

Cons: inside should be painted black from the factory. The side case fan that is included should have a slightly longer wire up to the 3 pin. Instead of screws to open the side, a latch might be more convenient...but this are all minor weaknesses.
Pros: So much room, excellent cable management, will fit very long graphics cards (e.g. 5970) tool-less design Comment:
My previous case was an antec sx1030b that lasted 3 builds - about 9 years or so. I think with this case, my next 10 years of pc building requirements will be met.Its either hit or miss with the looks. People either love it or hate it. |
Best case I have ever own. And I did own a lot.Installing motherboard and and peripheral was great. It shows that those who designed this case actually use it or took feedback from customers.Two minor down sides. First, I don't like the military design. I would have like any other type of design. Plus because of the design it's hard to clean the exterior of the case. But I put it under a table. So it's out of sight ;)Second small thing. The 2 blue front leds for HD and power are way to bright. Sometime we enjoy watching movie in the dark. And those two small leds lite the room and the HD one is flashing like a stroboscope lite. I don't like the colour too I would have prefer red. Because red is less bright. I fixed this by adding a piece of duck tape on the two ledsBut now I don't know when the power is on or when the HD is workingBut we can enjoy movies in the dark :)
