Opening the case is a simple matter of removing four thumb screws from the sides of the case and pulling the sides off. The left side window has the really cool AMD Dragon design with the Fusion clutched in its claws. This side would normally have a 230mm fan on other HAF 932 cases but adds to the design aesthetic and AMD features of the case.

Motherboard tray


The motherboard tray is a nice big tray with holes for stand-offs from EATX to Micro ATX motherboard sizes. The installation of a particular motherboard is undertaken by aligning the stand-offs with the letters on the paper covering the motherboard area corresponding to the motherboard form factor being installed and screwing in the stand-offs.

One nice feature of this case is the multiple holes around the motherboard area for cable management. A Full-Tower case tends to have plenty of room inside and this is no exception. There is a hole for cable management on top, two on the right side, and one on the bottom of the case for cable management. Another positive thing is the large CPU cooler hole to allow CPU coolers to be removed without removing the motherboard.

There are seven PCI slot covers with grilled holes on them on the backside of the case. There are flip-up locks on the cover that allow the user to secure the video card or other expansion cards in place without screws. The 140mm fan is above the motherboard tray and there is a 230mm fan on top. Note that if you are installing a top mounted PSU the 230mm fan will need to be removed.

There are six 5.25” drive bays and six 3.5” drive bays on the right hand side of the case. The optical drives each have a push button lock that secures the ODD as soon as the drive is in place and the button is pushed. There are five HDD racks with each drive having its own door. To install a HDD simply pull out the rack, pull out the door and insert the HDD into the rack. In front of the HDD rack is the 230mm front fan. The bottom PSU mounting area has a raised platform. Here you can install two further 120mm fans.
