Title: Coolermaster releases new "advanced" HAF 932 with USB 3 + all black interior!
Post by: soarwitheagles on April 30, 2011, 09:02:18 am

Hi everyone!

Just thought someone may be interested in Coolermaster's new version of the HAF 932.  They have added USB 3 and painted the interior all black.

They are calling it the HAF 932 Advanced Series with model number RC-932-KKN5-GP.

A bit strange on the location on the front panel for the USB 3 but hopefully you can move it to a different slot!  I wish they had placed it at the top of the case with all the other jacks/ports!

Nice upgrade for a nice case!

Hope this helps!

Hi Soar,

Thanks for the heads up there. Certainly an improvement on the original case. I think the reasoning for putting the USB3.0 ports in such a wastefull place is that it required no extra tooling to do. It would have been better if they put them on the front panel though.

Yes, I totally agree with you DM!  They would have to redesign and re-machine the top slot but instead, they only added a simple extra front panel.  :-[

Still, better than nothing!

Yes agreed Soar.  Just seems a shame to use up one of the panels for a couple of USB ports.

It also looks like the side panel is now hinged on the front unless that is just a fix for the photos.

I've seen the news on this thing a while ago and what can I say? This is how this case should have been from the beginning. Except for the placement of the USB3.0 ports ;).

Yes I agree. Would have saved me ages stripping it all down to spray it myself. It just looks so much better with the black interior. They have even made one now with a clear Perspex side panel instead of that stupid mesh and criss crossed perspex at the top. More things I had to rip out and replace. >:(
