Cooler Master HAF 932 Case Review

Packaging and Accessories

The HAF 932 comes in a shipping box which is pretty impressive in and of it’s self. Heck, in many ways the box is more of a work of art than some of so called object d’art we saw recently at an art gallery. It really is a crying shame this particular box was beaten to a pulp by Mr. Shipping Agent and his partner in crime MR. Customs Agent. There literally was not a straight edge anywhere on this box; and before we took photos of it we actually fixed the worst of it. To us, this underlines exactly how a good a shipping box this is, as the real work of art, the HAF 932 was in perfect shape!


In a nut shell, the box is a black with large pictures of the HAF 932 on it. Of course, you get all the usual details and specifications and reasons to own it; but the overall tone is one part adrenalin with two parts machismo. What ever you call the box, it is effective at its main goals of protecting the HAF 923 in shipping and drawing attention to itself.


When you do carefully and oh so gently open the top of the shipping box (in this case praying that doing so will not make the case collapse into a pile of cardboard-like dust) and look inside, you are greeted the typical Cooler Master paranoid level of protection. You could probably hit this box with your car and not damage the HAF 932; as it is not only in a plastic anti-scratch bag but is also suspended in between two huge Styrofoam pieces, so that not one part of the case is anywhere near the outer edge of the box. In fact we are pretty sure at least one car was involved in the obviously vicious beating this box took.


In typical CoolerMaster fashion, the shear quantity of the accessories is only surpassed by their quality. To this reviewer Cooler Master products are all about customer satisfaction and quality so it is nice to see the HAF 932 is no exception to this. The full list of accessories which you get are: the usual bag of assorted screws and the like, a nicely done manual, motherboard standoff map, a 3.5 Floppy Disk adapter (with mounting hardware) to turn one of the 5.25 bays into a 3.5’ bay, a bunch of zip ties to tidy up your wires (always a nice touch), a motherboard speaker buzzer and even an 8-pin CPU extender / adapter.


If the list ended here we would have been impressed as the 8 pin CPU adapter is a nice touch and helps even short cabled PSU’s reach from the bottom of the HAF to the top. Like we said, if the list ended here we would be happy but it doesn’t as Cooler Master not only included attached feet for the HAF 932 but they also include four casters so you can make your killer new rig mobile.

Between the great shipping box and the amazing list of accessories, you have to walk away with a great first impression. Cooler Master could have easily taken a more subdued approach to HAF 932, as it is a lot less expensive than some of their other cases but they didn’t and it shows.
