My Gaming PC Has A New Home
- Jan 25, 2013 7:06 pm GMT
So...when I first got into PC gaming a little over 2 years ago, I started off with a mid-level build, with a somewhat small case (Cooler Master 912). My love of (and addiction to) PC gaming has grown exponentially since then, and it became time to retire the old case. Not only was it getting cramped, but temperatures were getting too high when I added the second GPU.
I really liked the look of my HAF, so choice of a new case was easy...I went with the Cooler Master HAF Advanced (blue LEDs to match my kb/m). It has the same great look of my old case, with much more room and much better cooling.
Just finished the surgery. Everything is in working order.
Tried to take a picture, but it ended up terrible.
^^Not sure what is wrong with my phone there.
But you get the idea, the case is spacious.I'm quite happy to report that temperatures are WAY down. Couldn't be happier with the results. I now feel comfortable leaving my 680s with a modest OC.
I'd recommend the HAF 932 Advanced to anyone case-shopping. Lots of room, easy wire management, and tons of fans!

Looks awesome! I have the HAF 932, bought it about a year ago. One thing I like about all the newer HAFs is how the inside is black. Looks so much better.

Nice case must be great having a full tower so much room mid towers a pain to work in especially when you have alot of stuff crammed in there and there are cables everywhere.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

What's cable management like in that HAF?
I reckon you could do better
Maybe post in the 'rate my rig' sticky?

Cable management is kinda tough when you have 2 GPUs that both need 2 6-pin PCIe cables. But I reckon I could do a little better haha.
I was actually planning to get some gameroom pics in that thread anyway.
