What are your thoughts on this case? Ive recently decided to use it with my new build, and I think it will work great. I love the look, and the fan options look sturdy as well. I have a question also- The side 230mm fan, would it be ok to take it out and install 4 120mm? Id like to put some nice LED fans on the side, to give it that "pimp" look. lol Thanks

bohman and I both have the CoolerMaster 932 HAF and we like it. We have a seperate thread going about modding the case. bohman is going to try and chrome plate his case. I am working on a black and copper theme for my case.

The case is designed with a lot of flexibility. You most certainly could replace the large 230mm fan with four 120mm fans. That kind of flexibility is built into the case. The mounting holes are already there. In fact, if you removed all three 230mm fans you could mount something like 10 120mm fans - not counting the cpu heatsink fan(s), chipset fans, or video fan(s).

Ooooh, so adding my 4 LED fans, do you think its a good idea? I found some pretty good ones on Newegg. Aerocool Xtreme Turbines.

You are probably going to wind up with a lot of wind noise.

You also might want to consider balancing intake and exhaust. Generally speaking you want a little more exhaust than intake. Another factor is the mesh which restricts airflow. The worst one is the 230mm fan at the bottom front of the case. There are two mesh panels that restrict air. I'll bet the two mesh panels probably restrict 50% of the air flow. If the fan is rated at 75CFM, the mesh reduces it to 37CFM. Just some random thoughts.

You do whatever you want. It is a matter of personal preference and freedom of choice.
