[Eagle Eye]

Damn thats pricey!!

Nice case- I wonder if the inside top holds the thick radiators, or just the thin ones. The specs say it will hold a 360mm rad- not many cases can mount those internally.

HAF Baked Backside:

Tried to get a couple angles showing the gap between side panel...

Farcry From Goal! :rtfm:

I found the same thing with the HAF. With all the room on the board side it would have been nice if they gave the backside an extra 0.25-0.5" for cables.

Have you tried installing any water cooling inside?

Nope, strickly air here.

One thing to note with the new ATCS840 is that there is no flare on the side panels which adds a good 1/2" more space. So it would be even tighter to pack cables.

I think the HAF actually gives a lot of space for this, I just have way too many cables stuffed back there right now. It'll be a lot less cramped once I get in there and clean it up a bit, and actually use a few more of the cables.

Ok guys....as a SNEAK PEAK......:)

I have in my greedy hands a CM ATCS 840 and will start doing a review of it for HWC sometime next week.....soooo in the near future we will be able to provide you with good detailed shots of it and a good 30 minute read (just like the HAF ).

When it goes live open up a second window, pull up my HAF review and compare and contrast to your hearts content!

Thanks. I have a CM power supply and don't use a lot of the cables. This means I have to hide them until I can use them. Perhaps it is my fault for not having more drives running - lol. It is roomy as most cases go but a little more room would be nice.

I have installed a 2x120mm rad inside at the top without any issues. I also have a 1x120mm rad installed at the bottom vent - I wished I could have installed it on the rear wall but the tab for mounting a PSU up top interferes.

That is the stupidly thick 120.2 up in the top with fans mounted under it inside the 932's roof. No clearance issues at all.

Woowoo! Looking forward to that!

yeah there is a lot of space at the top of the case. Would there be any concerns about mounting a rad above the motherboard? I usually find if there are ever leaks/problems with water, it usually starts with the rad or the pump.

Since I am an air purist, I'll let someone else with more experience answer that.
