omg that looks so sexy. it fixes everything i didnt like about the 690 and improves on it in so many other ways. i might just sell my 690 and get one of these when it comes out.

ed: extra hard drive mount is a huge bonus as well, i was going to turn that box into a file server eventually

It's plastic and steel, check the second link.

Bah, too bad. Still a nice looking case with some great features. Too bad steel cases are almost always either light and flimsy, or strong and heavy. A good quality, decently thick aluminum case tends to have the best of both worlds.

Lol I hear you on that. I use my 690 as my secondary comp case and as a file server, but as I noted before there are some things I don't like about it, which I love having in my HAF932. I have enough poor friends thogh thatcif I offer one of them a mint 690 for $50 they will be all over it. Another option is I get it and a CPU and make a 3rd box with parts I have sitting around. I just need case and CPU to do it lol

I like some of it's features. Space for two internal 120.2 radiators if you don't use too many HDDs, an extra side expansion slot (which is useful for me because I have things that just take up back slots without using any PCIe like wire pass-throughs), and the HDD dock on top, which would eliminate the dock on my desk if my motherboard supported hot-swap on its ports. And the all-black and SSD adapter are nice.

Maybe for a "secondary" rig, I'll pick this up. Replace one of my older cases like the 900.

1. Sux.
2. Rulezzz!
3. "It has elements that I appreciate, but at the same time would have appreciated them more if they weren't in a case that was named the same as that 'other' one that retailed for so much less."

Good case, nice features, put them in a no-holds-barred aluminum case and charge $200 for it and we'll be happy.

the reason I opt for the 932 is that I keep dumping money on expensive coolers yet neglect case air flow, which can make a difference in the ambiant air temperature that the cpu cooler sucks in by as much as 10C. so the cpu temp is just a delta on top of ambiant air, even if I get the best cooler money can buy nothing can offset a poor case temperature.

If it were 89.99 I'd be impressed. Also, give me either a solid side panel or one with a window. Can't stand fans on the side panel or the look of it, either. If I'm paying over 100 bucks for a case, it better be aluminum.

Read that it still uses those shitty plastic grips on the expansion slots.

If a case isn't using screw for that, then fuck it.

is this a positive pressure case kind of deal? all those holes and fan mounts look like it will be a dust magnet.
