HAF 932 Side Window Build Complete

[Nailezs]

BTW, did you by the internal tower for the fans?

Best case mod I've seen in ages man, hahahahhaha

ditto this

Very nice, but i must know.....

What size and how did you mount the 2 fans above the 140mm? I didn't see that the first time you posted in the "PC ATM" thread until you just put the recent on in.

and ditto this!

I had to drill holes for the fans that's all. I
ll get some pics of that some time this week when i get my camera back.

I like the make shift inside fan rack you made? What did you use to attach those fans in there like that. The reason I ask is I own a CM sniper-Black so you know the inside is very similar. I was considering doing something very close to the same thing in order to remove the need for my bottom mounted fan.
It looks like from the pictures..... You used metal dowel rods? and attached them to that? But how are the fans attached I can't figure out (or can't tell from the pics)

Also BTW nice mods bud WTG!!!

EERRR Never mind I see you will be posting pics this week thanks!

I did want to also add nice use of that other PSU bay on the top. I like the idea that you came up with to install what looks like two 80mm fans up there! Really creative use of space! Plus I just bought my CM sniper I love it don' get me wrong ....... but my second choice was the HAF932 you made me kind of regret I didn't buy it now. But I have a lot of animals and there was no Dust filters on it.
I'm going to have to start modding again!

Thanks for the comments, indeed i like how the 2 80mm fans can be mounted where the top psu can go, i mean why not, lol. Oh i got a link here at Overclock.net with all the pics you'll need... i still don't have my camera back. This should answer your question as to how i mounted the fans. If you got any more questions fire them my way:

Thanks for the quick reply. Okay those pics actually answered my Questions. You mounted it using a metal rod. Painted black. Then used black zip ties to connect the fans. The zip ties actually look really nice in this instance. You couldn't really tell what they were till you looked close up! So I know what I'm doing on my Xmas vacation
Also wanted to add. You paid very close attention to detail. As an artist I can really appreciate that! I really also liked how you put the Blue cold cathodes behind the motherboard tray. That was a great idea! I was trying to put my cold cathodes in my new case too. But I haven't yet because I was trying to figure out how to make it look nice.
Well with that Idea I can finally take them out of storage and put them back in. On my case I have an extra PCI slot. But instead of it being horizontal it is vertical. If I run the box behind the tray along with the wires...... and the lights it should hide it perfectly! All clean installation .... Hellz yeah!

One other quick question. Because I have the same type of cable management holes as you do in my case. How bright do those holes allow the Cold cathodes to shine threw?

Interesting you ask about the cathodes, yes the blue one under the motherboard is bright, i'll take some pics after the weekend because i actually removed the blue and swapped with the red. After having the red ones in the top of the case, and with the see-through side panel, it was way too red for me.

Give me till sunday or monday and i'll get those posted. On a side note i'm in Industrial Design 4th year, so yes i do like my lil gadgets to look "fresh"

Cheers.

No problem bud let us know. Also I would have to say good call on changing the location of the red and the blue cathodes. I also at one time had some Red cathodes and those too were just ridiculously bright. I was actually going to suggest that to you. But I do also like the green fans with Red cathode Idea. Definitely fit the whole Caution high voltage and Bio hazard theme.

Sorry about the late post but i didn't get my camera back, though i did change around my lighting, i'll post pics next week when i get it then.

What i did in the mean time was move the red cathodes under the motherboard tray, and i installed the blue ones (2 of them) in the top of the case and masked off about 3/4 of them with electrical tape to expose less light - the blue ones are insanely bright.

Keep you posted.

Well at least seeing this is encouraging. Since I have the Sniper case I was considering getting the window to replace the Mesh side of my case. And while I understand you also added more fans I was worried that buying that side panel would increase my temps hugely! I guess I was wrong.
