External Examination (continued):

Below you can see the retention mechanism Cooler Master is using for the external 5.25" bays. There are two clips on each side. Just push them in and the bay cover comes right out. Notice the hole left after removing the cover? We'll get to that later...



Next we flip the case upside down to get a look at the underside. In the below left image you can see more room for either two more fans or a radiator. In the below right image you can see that Cooler Master has decided to upgrade the feet on the HAF 932 AMD Edition. They are adjustable, padded, and trimmed out very nicely. Sad to say most people won't notice this detail since they'll be sitting on the floor.



Internal Examination:

Once we removed the side panels via the included thumbscrews, we get a glimpse at the vastness of this case. Since it will hold everything from a micro-ATX board all the way up to an extended ATX board, Cooler Master has thoughtfully included a layout sheet to help take the guesswork out of where to install the motherboard standoffs. While some of you may have installed dozens of motherboards in your day (like myself), this makes the process go much faster. Also, they have labeled the cutouts for cable management and offered suggestions as to what best to route through those openings. The below right image gives you a good idea of how the hard drive caddies function - just push in the clip, pull the bar out, and bingo the drive slides right out. A simple pry of the plastic side rail and you can add or replace a drive in a snap. Their placement in front of the included 230mm LED fan should keep them cool.



On the bottom of the case is a bracket for supporting the power supply unit. It is easily removable should you want to relocate your power supply and add some fans or water cooling gear. If you have a larger power supply, much like most of the 1000+ watt units on the market, the smaller bracket with the thumb screws can be moved down to support the longer units. The next picture again shows us the seven expansion slot covers as well as the tool-less mechanisms that lock them in place. These are a breeze to use, and it seems that more and more manufacturers are using them.
