Topic: How big is HAF 932? Posted: 30 Sep 2009 at 9:09am |
I'm looking for an exact height measurement on the HAF 932 case so I will know if it will fit under the top shelf of my corner desk. Can anyone help?

21 1/2 " (L) x 9" (W) x 22" (H), I measured it with a tape measure yesterday.

Thanks to you both. Looks like it will fit, but not much room to spare, maybe about an inch or less on top. At least the blowhole fans sit lower than the top front of the case, so there should be enough room for airflow from them. If not, then I might be doing some "modifying" of my desk. *gets out saw* LOL

You're welcome, it's our pleasure.
Also, know this, your temps may be slightly elevated by having it under a desk in a corner unless it's open air under the desk and all your vents on the case are not restricted by a side wall and, your rig is not recycling the heated vented air from the case back into the case. I have mine in a corner under my desk and it's not the prime location for it, but it's the only location that works in my home office. When I do play a game I take it out from underneath the desk and allow it to sit in the open air. By doing this, my rig temps at idle will fall into the 32c range. Underneath the desk it will idle at around 34 to 35c. Even at that elevated stage those are temps that are well within the range of acceptance. When you're gaming, and the rig decides to freeze, lock-up or go graphics goofy on you, know that the first thing you'll need to check is how high your temps are reaching, even at idle. I can game with my rig under the desk and about five minutes into any game my rig graphics will lock-up and freeze on screen. If I take the rig out into the open air, the rig never does that and it works flawlessly. This is how my set-up looks... |

It's actually going to be sitting on the desk top, but there is an upper shelf above that where my printer is sitting. It's got plenty of room on the side and rear for good ventilation, I was mostly worried about the top vent. Might cut a hole in the shelf and move my printer LOL.

LOL yep, shoulda thought of that :) hahaha
Actually now I'm leaning toward getting the HAF922 just because of the size. It's still a cool case and should be fine for what I want. |

the 932 is better, it has more room and thus better airflow and room for upgrades.
are those measurements with the wheels or without? |

LMAO @ slunk
Yeah, I do like the looks and size of the 932 better....guess I could dig out my saw and make some desk modifications. Don't want to remove the section entirely since I have one of my 5.1 speakers positioned on it, too. Just will have to find a new stand for my printer, which is no big deal. Still waiting on my money to come rolling in...could be a couple of months yet but I hope not that long. The anticipation is killing me!!! I want a new DS rig!!!! |

So clean and pretty! I wish mine looked like that, haha. The moment my order comes in i'll take plenty of pics for everyone, i'll make sure to clean up a bit before then too. |

That's the way it always looks. I'm a bit anal but this is also my home office away from my office at work. If I'm not in another state then I'm here working. I have occasional sales meetings with our sales team at the house also, so it stays presentable.

Actually, I've always been an import man. However, I absolutely love the new Camaro! And I'll tell ya what, the new Taurus SHO is amazing! If you get a chance to test drive one... do it. Ford hit a home-run with that rig.

Without wheels. At least, mine didn't come with any, and I didn't see any in the boxes
Probably off by .7" on the height (22.7" total).
