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

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:14.559
I actually had someone send a uh a message to NC eser on Facebook or

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

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

00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:30.560
like a little brother to the half 932

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:36.160
now the whole concept behind these half cases is not that they aren't a full

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:40.320
case and that they're half a case that

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:44.120
is not the case rather half HF stands

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.480
for high air flow so these cases are all

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:51.520
about gaming and they're all about cooling so let's have a quick look at

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.920
the overall features extreme air flow okay that was pretty much what I just

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:58.879
said Thank You case for backing me up here okay accommodates demanding

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.600
high-end components including F length graphics cards very important for

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:10.200
something like the 5970 which is ati's latest card which is like 12 inches long

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:12.200
just ridiculous okay so then 7 plus1 PCI

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.280
expansion slots okay cuz a lot of new vid U video cards a lot of new

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:20.400
motherboards have PCI Express slots at the very bottom so if you want to plug

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:24.360
in a dual slot graphics card you'll need an additional slot even though there

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.200
isn't an actual slot there on your motherboard okay for toolfree

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:33.240
installation design ready for liquid cooling radiators and Hardware so let's

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

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

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:48.880
just ridiculous it's a good thing I'm not unboxing anything fragile to uh ESD

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

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

00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:01.240
shipping I mean Cooler Master does a very good job of that kind of stuff so

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:05.280
the half 922 comes with a user manual which includes a brief outline as well

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

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

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:16.720
start okay so you can see we got 1 2 3 4

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

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

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:29.000
desire you got a couple front USB front audio and front eat this is a feature

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

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

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

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

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:50.120
power and hard drive indicator LEDs okay

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

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:58.480
gaming case but if we have to make a compromise I think a loose mesh like

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

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:09.120
also allows you to see the cool gaming components inside so let's get

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:16.519
this let's see how many fans can we Mount here actually looks like you can

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:18.080
do wow either what is that a 160 mil fan

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

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

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:35.599
find our 5 and 1/4 in Drive Bays which include toolfree button clicky mounting

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

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

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:49.920
bays and I love this system these things look really flimsy but when you actually

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

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

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

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.319
look inside of here accessory wise it's

00:04:05.799 --> 00:04:12.560
going to come with probably a lot of your typical case fair so you got a

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:16.479
little speaker you've got a couple little brackets oh those are for

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

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:23.479
screws for mounting the motherboard screws for mounting all of your drives

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

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.120
management which is pretty nice to see and speaking of cable management we've

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

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.919
then you can route the cables directly up the back of the motherboard tray and

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

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

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.120
back and then you can come around to your 24 pin here on the motherboard you

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.880
can actually remove your CPU Cooler even if it has a back plate and replace it

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:01.000
without taking your motherboard out of the case which is awesome if you

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:06.120
actually change your CPU Cooler more often than you know once every year or

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:11.880
whatever okay then here we've got our seven PCI expansion ports and this one

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:15.840
is cool if you have like cathodes or if you have some kind of fan controller

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

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.720
expansion slot you can mount like a switch or whatever on the back of a PCI

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

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

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

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:42.880
liquid cooling holes should you desire to do an external radiator Mount down

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

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.800
also pretty cool to see you've got your usual stuff coming from the front these

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

00:05:55.080 --> 00:06:02.199
something like that because uh like the Corsair 800d case is Fant fantastic for

00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:06.199
that kind of stuff the little aesthetic details but they're nice and long so you

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.880
enough space on this side of the motherboard tray that you can actually

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.599
route fairly thick cables without interfering with anything you've also

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

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

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

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:58.160
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the half 922 my phone's ringing and

00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.160
I'm going to have to go now bye
