BundleIf you’re not already sitting down, we advise you to do so as this case packs a punch when it comes to accessories. First up we have the ever simple installation guide that features diagrams and pictures and includes thorough detail on getting your components installed and running inside this case.
Also included in the box is a speaker for installing onto your motherboard header, cable ties to help tidy things up inside the case, an 8-pin power extension lead due to the sheer size of the case and location of the eATX power connector as well as a USB converter cable. The USB converter cable can be used opposed to the blue USB 3.0 cables which connect the front panel USB ports to the rear I/O. Instead you can connect the USB connectors directly to a motherboard header if you wish, but from the looks of things, the header is for USB 1.1/2.0 so we really advise against this.
Due to the size of this case, and we aren’t kidding, it truly is huge, four included casters are supplied to install onto the bottom of the chassis as well as including the relevant screws for an easy installation.
Other screws that are included are power supply screws, motherboard standoffs, some extra thumbscrews, relevant optical drive and hard drive screws and a handy socket tool to tighten the motherboard standoffs.
There is also an optional graphics card support bracket which can be used with two functions in mind. The first being as a GPU support for heavier and longer cards, whilst the second function involves the installation of a suitable 80x15mm fan to assist in cooling your graphics card.
It is not expensive when you look at the price for some other full tower cases
Some people would consider paying £125 is very expensive for a case. For us uber geeks, maybe not 😉
my 932 cost me about £125 from new
well as you know andy i have this very case and the only thing i can say is <span style="font-size: 15px;">I like big cases and i cannot lie U other geeks can't deny[SIZE=1][SIZE=2]the only thing i dont understand is why make it all tool less apart from the card ports </span>[/SIZE][/SIZE]thats my only gripe other than that i love it
It is a brilliant case considering its perfect for cable management + airflow, but the price does seem fairly steep, considering i got the CM scout + 700W Modular PSU for £130, this was my second choice. Its the only reason why i didn't get the HAF X the price, although i sorta regret it because of the space.
I am not one for paying to much on Pc components, but I do feel that you get what you pay for, and in this case, no pun intended I feel that you do. A gold award speaks for it's self. Ample cooling and I like the PSU cover and cable management over all great case for me.
You guy have to remember this is a full tower case which you can put the longest motherboards inside (Gigabyte X58 G1 Assassin and MSI P67 Big Bang Marshal) and you still have room for a push/pull 360 (6x 120mm fans) radiator for watercooling This is the cheapest full tower chassis on the market at the moment. I don't count the HAF 932 because it is the same chassis but with a different look :confused:
it would be good if review web sites were more critical about the usb 3.0 cables supplied. any case costing more than 100 and that does not connect to the 20 pin internal usb 3.0 header on all the new motherboards is not worth the money. connecting front usb ports to the back of the motherboard is from the middle ages.
