If you are a big AMD fan, then the Cooler Master AMD Limited Edition HAF 932 should be in your future. This case mixed with a Phenom X4 965, 790FX/GX chipset motherboard and a Radeon HD 5970 is the ideal solution. The red of the front panel is really what makes this case stand out as much as it does. Normally, I am a fan of solid colors and simplistic designs, but the original HAF and now this one have opened my eyes to allure of high end gamer cases.
The functionality is what a lot people will see in this case and as they should. The HAF offered loads of good things that will cut the build time in half. The tool-less options begin in the front of the case and spread to the rear. No tools are needed for the installation of optical and hard drive in the expansion slots. Even more impressive is the cable management of the case. All cables from the PSU to hard drives to motherboard can all be ran behind the motherboard making for a cleaner build.
Another major feature of this case is the air circulation and ventilation. The HAF offers two larger than life 230mm cooling fans at the front and top of case that move large amounts of fan at a very low noise level. The rear uses a single 140mm to allow warm air to escape. All three together is geared to high airflow at minimal noise. Lastly, I can not end this review without talking about the CM quality. The HAF is a very solid case that is extremely sturdy. You can throw whatever at this case and it will remain standing.
I was thinking that the AMD flavored HAF 932 could use some sort of fan controller to help with noise of fast speeding fans. But the case has little to no noise coming from it so the fan controller isn't really needed. Maybe one could be included for those that elect to change to smaller fans. Another option that I would have like to see is maybe a black and red interior to match the outside of the case. That would have looked sweet.
Places like FrozenCPU have the case going for approximately $170. Not to bad of a price when you think about how much the original still goes for: about $130.
