HAF 932 vs X

Cooling Fans:
Front: 230 mm red LED fan on both
Side: 230 mm vs 200 mm
Top: 230 mm vs one 200 fan standard and a second 200 mm fan optional
Rear: 140 mm on both


Front Panel:
USB 2.0 x 4 vs USB 3.0 x 2 and USB 2.0 x 2
IEEE1394a x 1 on both
eSATA x 1 on both
Mic and audio on both

Other things the HAF X has that the 932 does not:
Support for XL-ATX motherboards
Included GPU brace/holder
Internal 120 mm GPU fan dock
Cover for the back of the PSU where the cables plug in (hides the cables)
Front SATA dock

HAF X

Overall, they are very similar. The extras that the X comes with aren't incredibly compelling for most people. I personally prefer the looks of the X, but that's just me. Either case will do you fine.


EDIT: To remove removable wheels - apparently both have them

The HAF 932 has removable wheels as well.

At least I assume so, since DS packed four wheels in my white box of extra stuffs.

  The HAF-X has wheels as well. I popped a 120mm fan in the gpu shroud and with a custom fan profile in Afterburner My GTX480 usually hovers 75 degrees down from the near 90s it was posting at stock everything with no fan in the shroud. I don't have any experience with a 932, but the X is just an awesome case.

i'd prefer the 932 over the X if I had one. mainly because it's a lot more moddable for airflow and LC.

Don't know. They're not listed on CM's spec page for the 932.

932 has rem wheels, i bought mine from newegg and it did

i wouldnt really say the 932 is more modable, you can add a second top 200mm fan in the x, and a vga fan.. not that i think either of those opptions would really do too much, but they are there
