It seems that over the past several years, the
amount of different and uniquely styled cases has skyrocketed, and
2008 seems to have been a watershed year, with new designs from
several companies. Cooler Master is no different, with a new
chassis to follow up on the success of the Cosmos series of
enclosures. That enclosure is called the "HAF 932".
"HAF" in this case stands for "High Air Flow", and is targeted to
both air cooling and water cooling audiences.
The HAF is a pretty unique beast compared to the
other Cooler Master cases. While the Cosmos brings an air of
elegance, the HAF has a very aggressive look. If the Cosmos is
a Bentley, then the HAF is a Hemi Charger. So how does it
stack up? Read on and find out!
