[Project] My HAF 932 Water-Cooling Build *56K Warning*

[thepizzaman]

Actually, I do, although the new 24inchers are calling my name sometime this summer - 20000:1 CR and <5 ms response, - I got these at a nice bargain (almost 9 months ago at roughly $187 ea shipped) and I am proud to say that I have not a single dead pixel. Not sure how the rest of the world has found these to work, but personally, I am very happy with them

yea i didn't get a dead pixel either....
i was thinking of getting the acer g24 at first but couldn't justify that much money on a monitor.........
o well i still love my 22"
and Xguntherc the bulid looks awesome wish i had waited and got the haf

Thanks man.. ya i love it. great case.

and everlong. get a 24 pin extension. they are only a couple of dollars. then you could hide the wires back there.

 

[Everlong]

Hmm, I'll have to have a look in to that. Is there an 8 pin extension for the CPU as well, as that's my biggest problem as I have to run it over the top of my graphic cards as it's only about 10cm too short to go behind the mobo tray.

 

[smarteyeball]

Yep, there's an 8-pin extension that comes with the case.

 

[Everlong]

I might have to invest in some of these extensions, thanks

hey Gunther,

This has been an awesome thread, and i have really enjoyed seeing your progress! I was wondering what PSU you have installed in your system?

Keep up the good work mate

Check his system specs:

PC P&C 750w Silencer PSU

Well I won't be getting the case. I love my Coolermaster 690 too much to upgrade yet 690 is just the 932's little brother anyway

 

[akibro]

thanks Smart


have a look at Lian Li, they sell a 24 pin extension with the ability to add a second PSU

I'm sorry to revive such an old thread but after a lot of looking around I can't quite seem to get a dimension I need... I love your build xguntherc. I plan to do something pretty similar a little after Christmas, but I like to do lots of planning and thinking. So my question is (since I just joined and can't PM) Is there enough room for fans to go on the underside of that radiator still? For a push pull config? I was wondering if I you could measure how much space is left. I wasn't sure if maybe the case is wide enough for fans to even go over part of the motherboard or what.

Thanks in advance.

XG hasn't been active on this forum since February. Your best bet is try and catch him over at SevenForums.

 

[Fendulon]

Oh thank you very much smarteyeball. Do you know if he still has the same display name there?

 

[smarteyeball]

Yes he does, but I just checked and he hasn't been there for two weeks either.

What width were you worried about? The space between the rad and the mobo, or the width of the case itself?

 

[Fendulon]

Well the dimension I was looking at was from the top of the case to where the motherboard sits. I was thinking of doing a similar setup to what XG did, but if possible adding 3 more 120mm fans to the bottom of the radiator so it's a push pull.

I didn't know if maybe the case is so wide that the motherboard doesn't get in the way of the fans on the top. He has a top view picture and it looks like the fans MIGHT clear the motherboard... but I can't quite tell.

So I'm looking for a top inside to motherboard distance, and if the fans clear the motherboard.

i'm jealous...

gotta 'vanilla' haf 932. i also have a friend since childhood who is an expert wielder of the air brush (who already said he'd do a custom paint job for me at little cost), but i just don't want to take it apart and wait for everything to get done.

oh well, i'll live vicariously through people such as you who put that little extra time and effort into their case...:D

(i'd give you some rep for this one, but can't seem to do it...)

Sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately I can't help here as I'm air cooled and could only guess myself

lol, I know how you feel. Replacing the fans with some LED's is a good half-way compromise though. Not quite full on, but not quite 'vanilla'

yeah... the most i did was to get a red l.e.d. fan for my cpu cooler and a red laser light, shown here: Newegg.com - LOGISYS Computer MDLED1RD RED LAZER LED - Case Accessories

 

[smarteyeball]

I wish I'd ordered LED's back in the day instead of cold cathodes. They arrived broken and I never got to see them in action

I avoided cathodes. Especially after my friend bought some and put them in his tri-SLI PC, and the heat from his 8800 Ultras burnt them out.

 

[smarteyeball]

yeah, in hindsight it wasn't a good choice, although I would liked the chance to burn them out
