Well, Antec had one where the power supply went in a separate compartment in the bottom, and then there was a hole that you took the power cables through into a panel that went behind the main space (where the motherboard goes), and then pulled through just the cables you needed through one of three well positioned holes. I was going to give you the link to it, but it has evidently been discontinued. I suspect there are others like that, but haven't had time to find one this morning.

Personally I'm thinking of changing from the case I've been using to the Antec 1200 since it looks like it's a bit roomier for putting in two video cards.

Hope this helps.

It looks nice. Specially the top part that places the MOBO away from the ceiling, leaving room for cabling top connectors. ot bad. I'm looking forward to see you use it and comment about it

Battlefield 2 is my GAME! I <3 it lol

I use xfire. Do you use xfire? It is easier for me to use to see when people are on.

If you have it - my name: accordracin96 or jdgtunc21@hotmail.com

I only have BF2 and Counter-Strike installed on my PC. Where did you get all your games from? Bought new?

**Lunatic247** · 07-08-2009

I don't use Xfire or anything like it...not fond of software that isn't necessary! The last two games I bought happened to be Battlefield 2 and COD4 as I tend only to buy really good games, and the rest I'll usually d/load. GTA 4 and Prototype may be my next purchases. They look SWEEEEEEEETT running on my machine!

7-8-09, bought the haf932

everything in this case is what was in the pics that showed the centurion 590 case. i absolutely love that i was able to hide all of my excess cables. since the haf932 has the small window on the top of the left side panel, i spent a few dollars for a red l.e.d. 120mm fan for the cpu cooler. i love this case

**smarteyeball** · 07-22-2009

Looking good there Mpcr

(Just a tip, you don't need two CF cables with only two cards)

Bye Bye Bright Lights

She's getting dustier and my cable management is getting lazier, but I still love my HAF

**03hdfatboy** · 07-22-2009

I also have a HAF932 and I love it. It has plenty of room and great cable management. I will re-use this case on my next build.

i'm not a know-it-all, but i did know that one... i just thought it looked cooler. i like what you did with the red-l.e.d. fans on the side panel--looks cool.

how do you have the fan in the 5.25 drive bay mounted?

lol, I hope you don't think I am

I've just read that it may actually hurt performance having both bridges attached. It does look the business though

The fan in the bay is a real "hi-tech solution" - Blue tack on the bottom and a satay stick on the top. No vibration and it's secure
