1
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:13,799
So today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the half

2
00:00:10,799 --> 00:00:15,799
932 but this is actually a special half

3
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:22,960
932 you can't tell from that side of the box but on this side you can see that

4
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:25,599
this is the half 932 Black Edition so

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,920
the half 932 is already a very well regarded wellestablished gaming case in

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:37,879
its own right but the Black Edition adds a few features so you've got better or

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,840
improved GPU cooling okay you have a

8
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:47,960
transparent side window remember the half 932 has kind of a h smoked style

9
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:56,120
side window you've also got uh support for two ssds and it comes with two 230

10
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,519
mm fans so let's go ahead get this box

11
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,680
open and I'm just going to show you guys the packing materials then I'm going to

12
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:06,840
unbox it and then I'm going to kind of come back so we've got your standard

13
00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:10,560
kind of this is a a semi soft kind of foam so it's not super brittle but it's

14
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,920
also not a closed cell phone that you see on some cases so let me just dump it

15
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,520
out and I'll be back in a sec since the half 932 Black Edition

16
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,520
isn't actually that different from the regular half this is going to be more of

17
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:26,240
a look at the half 932 and uh with a

18
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,280
special highlight on the features that are different about the Black Edition so

19
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,399
we've got the large Clear Window window here so that is one of the key

20
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,079
differences other than that the case looks pretty much the same from the

21
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:42,640
outside so we'll start on this side okay you've got side vents here

22
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,399
you've got that half branding on the on the side of the case here you've got uh

23
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,640
on the top actually on the top is interesting because you've got support

24
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:56,759
for a 230 mm fan or you have support for

25
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,280
dual 120 mm fans so that gives you the

26
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:02,479
ability to add a liquid cooling radiator for example

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:08,239
or to use two smaller fans if you want to use your own cuz it's hard to find

28
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:10,440
aftermarket 230 mil fans here you've got

29
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,680
a spot for a fill Port which which is awesome I mean everyone should include

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,319
room for a fill port in their case cuz it costs nothing all you do is drill a

31
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,640
hole and then the water cooling guys are pretty happy and then you've also got a

32
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,640
little rubberized thing here for putting you know screws or bounced right off

33
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:30,239
screws or lens caps caps so they won't move and you won't get lost we have a

34
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:36,560
reset switch power switch on the front of the case we've got front USB 2 four

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,519
ports we have fire wire eat as well as a

36
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,680
microphone and headphone jack we've got our power light as well as our hard

37
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:45,319
drive LED so the 5 and 1/4 in bays are

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,680
removed quite easily from this particular case you just press in the

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,280
things from the side they pop out you're going to have to punch these out in

40
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:58,840
order to install drives but that's no big deal so one 65 and 1/4 in Baye so

41
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:02,640
let me just go ahead and throw that back in there there we are

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,959
and then let's see if there's any trick to the front can't remember for the life

43
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,959
of me how this works

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,440
H okay uh on the other

45
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,799
side not really much of note vents here

46
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,640
but that's about it actually I'm going to need a screwdriver just a second at

47
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:25,519
the back we see one of the features that's great about the half 932 that is

48
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:30,159
the option to either install your power supply in the top or in the bottom so

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,799
you can do whichever you prefer all you have to do is take out a plate here and

50
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,439
then you have can move it down to the other spot install your power supply

51
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:45,080
wherever you please we've also got a 140 mm/ 120 mm fan Mount so you can mount

52
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:47,840
either kind of fan you desire and 7 PCI

53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:54,439
expansion slots which is standard so the half X actually has more and is

54
00:03:51,920 --> 00:04:01,360
compatible with XL ATX motherboards whereas the half 932 is intended for

55
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,040
your standard ATX motherboard

56
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,400
all right so why don't we start from the front or rather from the side okay so

57
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,799
the first thing we see here is a GPU duct all right that's fairly obvious it

58
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,880
does come out if you don't want to use it so there's a couple thumb screws

59
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:22,239
holding it in but it's there so I guess you might as well you might as well make

60
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,239
use of it it looks

61
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:32,320
like you could probably put a fan in there yep it's got mounting holes for

62
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:36,120
120 mm fan so that's going to give you air flow directly over your graphics

63
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,759
cards to make sure that they do not overheat in any way I mean you've also

64
00:04:38,039 --> 00:04:45,800
got a 230 mm fan here at the front of the case but what this does is it just

65
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,199
uh it it provides a push pull scenario so where if you have a ton of drives

66
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,120
here and it's a restrictive space you're going to be able to force more air

67
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,160
through the front of the case directly over the GPU by setting up both of those

68
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:04,479
fans So speaking of drives we have support for five three and a half inch

69
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,919
drives we have one SSD rail here and

70
00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:10,680
then supposedly support for another SSD somewhere but I'll have to figure out

71
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:17,759
where that is a little bit later on in the process here because I don't see it

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,000
yet H interesting okay down here we've

73
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:26,160
got our power supply Mount we've got support for up to oh this is cool so

74
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:28,720
we've got support for up to two 120 mm

75
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:32,919
fans down here in the bottom of the case so that is if you put your power supply

76
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,680
here you can have that as an intake on the case we have toolless oh yeah I

77
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,120
should show you guys this toolless mounting for all of

78
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:46,520
our uh for all of our drives so it doesn't look very solid but as soon as

79
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:51,360
you put a drive in it it actually solids right up and uh holds the drive very

80
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:55,919
securely it's actually one of the more one of the more impressive toolless

81
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:58,440
Drive holders that I have seen in

82
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:04,240
my I guess I can say it years of unboxing products so there you go uh

83
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:07,080
tool is 5 and 1/4 in so these are just

84
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:11,520
the push button sort all right up here we've got all of those internal cables

85
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:18,120
so you got your eSATA your front power your front switches your front USB audio

86
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:21,680
fir wire everything is all right there so here's some accessories I'm guessing

87
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:29,240
we're going to find another 3 and 1/2 in to 2 and 1/2 in adapter inside here for

88
00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:32,240
the other SSD and we don't okay here is

89
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,360
an pin power adapter this is a very very

90
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:38,360
uh thoughtful inclusion from Cooler Master because not all power supplies

91
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:42,759
reach all the way from the bottom up to the eight pin on the top of your motherboard so they've included this

92
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:48,720
just in case your power supply manufacturer has made one with short cables here's an a 5 1/4 in to 3 and 1/2

93
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:52,319
in adapter so if you want to turn one of those front 5 and 1/4 inch pays into a

94
00:06:50,599 --> 00:06:55,639
card reader or floppy drive if you still need a floppy drive then you can go

95
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,319
ahead and do that here we have all the screws and zip ties you're going to need

96
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,800
to build your system as well as wheels so this is a steel case it's a heavy

97
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,960
case especially once you load it up with Hardware Hardware so it does come with

98
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:13,400
casters so that you don't have trouble moving it

99
00:07:10,599 --> 00:07:17,319
around all right other features let's see I guess we're getting pretty close

100
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:23,400
so here's our other 230 mm fan this is not an LED one the one in the front

101
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:25,000
however is uh we do have a CPU cutout so

102
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,039
what that means is that you can swap your CPU Cooler even without taking out

103
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,960
the motherboard even if it uses a back plate you got your standard spot for

104
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,120
your IO here and you know what I'm going to do I'm actually going to take a break

105
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:43,080
I'm going to find out where that other SSD Mount is and I'll let you guys know

106
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:49,440
found it it's in one of the 5 and 1/4 in Bays right here so you've got one 3 and

107
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:51,919
1/2 to 2.5 in you've got one 5 and 1/4

108
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:58,960
in to 2.5 in so you can mount up to two ssds natively in the case and uh then

109
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:01,280
four hard drives and 1 two 3 four five

110
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:05,560
five 5 and 1/4 in devices all at the same time so thank you for checking out

111
