Still Impressed

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: I am totally impressed that I built two systems using this case in June 2009 and my son and I still have these cases in use. I typically switch out my case after 18 months but this is excellent case

Cons: This could have been a better case had the mfg taken a lesson from their competitor and used various openings in the main board mounting panel for proper wire management, case is very heavy but not really a con, if you happen to have a tornado come thru it will still be sitting while rest of your house is gone

Overall Review: I build systems for a local company and have used the Corsair 600T on builds lately and its a really great case for wire management it has its cons but still is great on cable management now if Coolermaster would incorporate some better wire management design in this case.

Pros: Has all the bells and whistles and plus its a Kenwood known for their quality. The bluetooth feature is great and love the XM capability it has tied this in with 4 kicker speakers and the sound with lots of settings are just a plus for this unit and the choice of 24 colors.

Cons: I have had this a year and really can't come up with a con except maybe it could be confusing to the no tech person.

Pros: Started out as a good card now after 26 months later fan is going out , paid $154 X 2 for 2 video cards

Cons: I would stay away from MSI products such as video cards, no longevity

Overall Review: I dust my system every 6 weeks to keep on top of it and now have a video fan going out
