So today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the half
932 but this is actually a special half
932 you can't tell from that side of the box but on this side you can see that
this is the half 932 Black Edition so
the half 932 is already a very well regarded wellestablished gaming case in
its own right but the Black Edition adds a few features so you've got better or
improved GPU cooling okay you have a
transparent side window remember the half 932 has kind of a h smoked style
side window you've also got uh support for two ssds and it comes with two 230
mm fans so let's go ahead get this box
open and I'm just going to show you guys the packing materials then I'm going to
unbox it and then I'm going to kind of come back so we've got your standard
kind of this is a a semi soft kind of foam so it's not super brittle but it's
also not a closed cell phone that you see on some cases so let me just dump it
out and I'll be back in a sec since the half 932 Black Edition
isn't actually that different from the regular half this is going to be more of
a look at the half 932 and uh with a
special highlight on the features that are different about the Black Edition so
we've got the large Clear Window window here so that is one of the key
differences other than that the case looks pretty much the same from the
outside so we'll start on this side okay you've got side vents here
you've got that half branding on the on the side of the case here you've got uh
on the top actually on the top is interesting because you've got support
for a 230 mm fan or you have support for
dual 120 mm fans so that gives you the
ability to add a liquid cooling radiator for example
or to use two smaller fans if you want to use your own cuz it's hard to find
aftermarket 230 mil fans here you've got
a spot for a fill Port which which is awesome I mean everyone should include
room for a fill port in their case cuz it costs nothing all you do is drill a
hole and then the water cooling guys are pretty happy and then you've also got a
little rubberized thing here for putting you know screws or bounced right off
screws or lens caps caps so they won't move and you won't get lost we have a
reset switch power switch on the front of the case we've got front USB 2 four
ports we have fire wire eat as well as a
microphone and headphone jack we've got our power light as well as our hard
drive LED so the 5 and 1/4 in bays are
removed quite easily from this particular case you just press in the
things from the side they pop out you're going to have to punch these out in
order to install drives but that's no big deal so one 65 and 1/4 in Baye so
let me just go ahead and throw that back in there there we are
and then let's see if there's any trick to the front can't remember for the life
of me how this works
H okay uh on the other
side not really much of note vents here
but that's about it actually I'm going to need a screwdriver just a second at
the back we see one of the features that's great about the half 932 that is
the option to either install your power supply in the top or in the bottom so
you can do whichever you prefer all you have to do is take out a plate here and
then you have can move it down to the other spot install your power supply
wherever you please we've also got a 140 mm/ 120 mm fan Mount so you can mount
either kind of fan you desire and 7 PCI
expansion slots which is standard so the half X actually has more and is
compatible with XL ATX motherboards whereas the half 932 is intended for
your standard ATX motherboard
all right so why don't we start from the front or rather from the side okay so
the first thing we see here is a GPU duct all right that's fairly obvious it
does come out if you don't want to use it so there's a couple thumb screws
holding it in but it's there so I guess you might as well you might as well make
use of it it looks
like you could probably put a fan in there yep it's got mounting holes for
120 mm fan so that's going to give you air flow directly over your graphics
cards to make sure that they do not overheat in any way I mean you've also
got a 230 mm fan here at the front of the case but what this does is it just
uh it it provides a push pull scenario so where if you have a ton of drives
here and it's a restrictive space you're going to be able to force more air
through the front of the case directly over the GPU by setting up both of those
fans So speaking of drives we have support for five three and a half inch
drives we have one SSD rail here and
then supposedly support for another SSD somewhere but I'll have to figure out
where that is a little bit later on in the process here because I don't see it
yet H interesting okay down here we've
got our power supply Mount we've got support for up to oh this is cool so
we've got support for up to two 120 mm
fans down here in the bottom of the case so that is if you put your power supply
here you can have that as an intake on the case we have toolless oh yeah I
should show you guys this toolless mounting for all of
our uh for all of our drives so it doesn't look very solid but as soon as
you put a drive in it it actually solids right up and uh holds the drive very
securely it's actually one of the more one of the more impressive toolless
Drive holders that I have seen in
my I guess I can say it years of unboxing products so there you go uh
tool is 5 and 1/4 in so these are just
the push button sort all right up here we've got all of those internal cables
so you got your eSATA your front power your front switches your front USB audio
fir wire everything is all right there so here's some accessories I'm guessing
we're going to find another 3 and 1/2 in to 2 and 1/2 in adapter inside here for
the other SSD and we don't okay here is
an pin power adapter this is a very very
uh thoughtful inclusion from Cooler Master because not all power supplies
reach all the way from the bottom up to the eight pin on the top of your motherboard so they've included this
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
in adapter so if you want to turn one of those front 5 and 1/4 inch pays into a
card reader or floppy drive if you still need a floppy drive then you can go
ahead and do that here we have all the screws and zip ties you're going to need
to build your system as well as wheels so this is a steel case it's a heavy
case especially once you load it up with Hardware Hardware so it does come with
casters so that you don't have trouble moving it
around all right other features let's see I guess we're getting pretty close
so here's our other 230 mm fan this is not an LED one the one in the front
however is uh we do have a CPU cutout so
what that means is that you can swap your CPU Cooler even without taking out
the motherboard even if it uses a back plate you got your standard spot for
your IO here and you know what I'm going to do I'm actually going to take a break
I'm going to find out where that other SSD Mount is and I'll let you guys know
found it it's in one of the 5 and 1/4 in Bays right here so you've got one 3 and
1/2 to 2.5 in you've got one 5 and 1/4
in to 2.5 in so you can mount up to two ssds natively in the case and uh then
four hard drives and 1 two 3 four five
five 5 and 1/4 in devices all at the same time so thank you for checking out
