1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:09,960
So today we're going to be unboxing the half 922 this is a buy request unboxing

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,559
I actually had someone send a uh a message to NC eser on Facebook or

3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:21,279
however they sent the message I don't know but they asked her to ask me to

4
00:00:18,439 --> 00:00:27,720
unbox this particular case and have a quick look at it so the 922 is kind of

5
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:30,560
like a little brother to the half 932

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:36,160
now the whole concept behind these half cases is not that they aren't a full

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:40,320
case and that they're half a case that

8
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:44,120
is not the case rather half HF stands

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,480
for high air flow so these cases are all

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:51,520
about gaming and they're all about cooling so let's have a quick look at

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,920
the overall features extreme air flow okay that was pretty much what I just

12
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:58,879
said Thank You case for backing me up here okay accommodates demanding

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,600
high-end components including F length graphics cards very important for

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:10,200
something like the 5970 which is ati's latest card which is like 12 inches long

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,200
just ridiculous okay so then 7 plus1 PCI

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,280
expansion slots okay cuz a lot of new vid U video cards a lot of new

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,400
motherboards have PCI Express slots at the very bottom so if you want to plug

18
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:24,360
in a dual slot graphics card you'll need an additional slot even though there

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,200
isn't an actual slot there on your motherboard okay for toolfree

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,240
installation design ready for liquid cooling radiators and Hardware so let's

21
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,640
have a closer look at this case now oh man is it ever staticky today I've been

22
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:41,680
Zapped by my mouse I've been Zapped by my car now I've been Zapped by this case

23
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:48,880
just ridiculous it's a good thing I'm not unboxing anything fragile to uh ESD

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,479
here okay so we'll take off the uh it's reasonably well packed you got about an

25
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,439
inch of foam around the case itself so I wouldn't expect you to get any damage in

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:01,240
shipping I mean Cooler Master does a very good job of that kind of stuff so

27
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:05,280
the half 922 comes with a user manual which includes a brief outline as well

28
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:09,200
as probably a little guide on how to do basic yeah a guide on how to do basic

29
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,280
stuff like open up the case so let's have a look at it from the front to

30
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,720
start okay so you can see we got 1 2 3 4

31
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:21,599
five 5 and 1/4 inch Bays one of them has an adapter so that you can also mount a

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,280
3 and 1/2 in floppy drive or media card reader whatever it is that you should

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,000
desire you got a couple front USB front audio and front eat this is a feature

34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,840
we're starting to see a lot more these days now I don't actually unbox a lot of

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,640
cases so I don't have a like a procedure for this but on the top we will find the

36
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:42,840
power and reset as well as fan LED switches so that's kind of cool so you

37
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:48,080
can turn your fan or turn it off turn on your fan LED or turn it off there's your

38
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:50,120
power and hard drive indicator LEDs okay

39
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,760
let's get around to this side now personally I like to see a window on a

40
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,480
gaming case but if we have to make a compromise I think a loose mesh like

41
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:03,080
this is great because it allows for air flow which a window does doesn't and it

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:09,120
also allows you to see the cool gaming components inside so let's get

43
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:16,519
this let's see how many fans can we Mount here actually looks like you can

44
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,080
do wow either what is that a 160 mil fan

45
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:22,840
or yeah I don't know what you can mount here wow that's kind of cool I guess I

46
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:31,000
should kind of check the uh oh it's a 200 mm fan neat okay so inside we will

47
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:35,599
find our 5 and 1/4 in Drive Bays which include toolfree button clicky mounting

48
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,799
so all you have to do is Slide the drive in Click the button and it's done we

49
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:45,280
first saw this on the cosmos I believe next we have five 3 and 1/2 in internal

50
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:49,920
bays and I love this system these things look really flimsy but when you actually

51
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,560
put a drive into them you pop out the little uh the little nut thing here you

52
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:59,079
screw it back in you put a drive in it's really solid and when you throw it back

53
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:05,799
inside here it's just not going anywhere it's really secure so then let's have a

54
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,319
look inside of here accessory wise it's

55
00:04:05,799 --> 00:04:12,560
going to come with probably a lot of your typical case fair so you got a

56
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,479
little speaker you've got a couple little brackets oh those are for

57
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,239
adapting probably to yeah I don't I'm not even going to guess okay so you have

58
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,479
screws for mounting the motherboard screws for mounting all of your drives

59
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,880
and that is pretty much it some zip ties they give you some zip ties for cable

60
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,120
management which is pretty nice to see and speaking of cable management we've

61
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:35,759
actually got a lot of of cable management features in here so your power supply mounts at the bottom but

62
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,919
then you can route the cables directly up the back of the motherboard tray and

63
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:43,960
you can reach around to I'm going to lean this back so you can see inside

64
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,840
better so you can reach around to the eight pin up here you can go from the

65
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:53,120
back and then you can come around to your 24 pin here on the motherboard you

66
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,880
can actually remove your CPU Cooler even if it has a back plate and replace it

67
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,000
without taking your motherboard out of the case which is awesome if you

68
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:06,120
actually change your CPU Cooler more often than you know once every year or

69
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:11,880
whatever okay then here we've got our seven PCI expansion ports and this one

70
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,840
is cool if you have like cathodes or if you have some kind of fan controller

71
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:19,360
knob that mounts on the back of the case you don't want to take up an actual

72
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:23,720
expansion slot you can mount like a switch or whatever on the back of a PCI

73
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:28,440
bracket here so that's pretty cool to see so we have an included 200 mil fan

74
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:34,039
in the b in the top as well as support for a dual 120 mm fan or radiator as

75
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,440
well in the top and then at the back we've got a 120 mm fan Mount as well as

76
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:42,880
liquid cooling holes should you desire to do an external radiator Mount down

77
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:48,759
here in the bottom we have what appears to be a 140 mm fan Mount and that is

78
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,800
also pretty cool to see you've got your usual stuff coming from the front these

79
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,960
cables AR they're not sleeves they're not black I mean I'd like to see

80
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:02,199
something like that because uh like the Corsair 800d case is Fant fantastic for

81
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,199
that kind of stuff the little aesthetic details but they're nice and long so you

82
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:11,599
can reach to wherever it is that they need to go let's have just one quick

83
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:16,840
look around at the back of the case Okay the back of the case looks like a case

84
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,680
awesome and then let's have a look at the other side panel as well as the

85
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:25,639
other side with the panel off I just want to have a quick look there so that

86
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,560
I can show you a little bit in more detail some of the cable management features so once again you can you got

87
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,880
enough space on this side of the motherboard tray that you can actually

88
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,599
route fairly thick cables without interfering with anything you've also

89
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:43,000
got a lot of room to mount cables and whatever else you need up here on the

90
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:47,560
other side of the 5 and 1/4 in base this is a front LED fan it is red and it

91
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,960
plugs in just like this you can see it wired up to the switch right here and

92
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:58,160
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the half 922 my phone's ringing and

93
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,160
I'm going to have to go now bye
