We've awarded high marks to Cooler Masters HAF (High Air Flow) line of computer cases, including an 8 verdict for the HAF 922 and 9 verdicts for both the original HAF and HAF X enclosures. Needless to say, we've been pretty impressed. Building on the success of earlier variants (and milking the HAF reputation for all it's worth), Cooler Master announced a new addition to its High Air Flow line, the HAF 932 Advanced case.
"The HAF 932 Advanced comes equipped with the very features that made the original HAF 932 world renowned," Cooler Master explains. "It notably included native liquid cooling support such as the ability to install a double or triple 120 millimeter radiator, a convenient coolant refill port, and liquid cooling grommets to easily route tubing to an externally mounted radiator."
That's all well and fine, but it takes more than an added moniker to make a new case. So what's different? According to Cooler Master, the new Advanced case fuses all the features of previous models and is reborn with a high-grade all black interior coating. It's also the first Cooler Master case to natively support SuperSpeed USB 3.0 via a standardized internal motherboard connector, negating the need to route USB 3.0 cables through the back of the case.
Also new is a redesigned graphics card ducting system. When combined with an optional 120mm fan, the duct is capable of cooling SLI configurations. And finally, there's a 2.5-inch SSD tray in the Advanced model.
No word yet on price, though Cooler Master says the HAF 932 Advanced will make its retail debut later this month.

Great looking case and the reviews on newegg were all pretty good. I need a new case, its not an easy decision for me. I tend to keep them for as long as possible and the one I have now is space limited.

I went with the Antec 1200 because it has filters and the HAF series doesn't, otherwise I would have gone with the HAF series. I just took out the thumbscrews and it is less then 5 min to clean them all.

This is NOT true! Your statement about HAF series is false. I own HAF X for about 7 months and i could not be happier with it. The HAF X does have filters on every INTAKE fan, as it should. They are easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner, BUT they are not removable. Maybe this is what you are referring to. For me personally is not a problem, as I own a ShopVac cleaning kit that cost me 11$, that I attach to the vacuum cleaner and does a perfect job.
Some early owners of the case have stated that it lacks filter on the bottom only. However mine came with one, so it might have been an issue with the very first models. Not anymore.

I agree, I always forget to untick that and I have to take that extra button clicking step to remove it from my wall..
now I know how George Jetson felt ;-)
j/k It would be nice to have it an opt-in

Nice.
Not a gamer, but this is a nice case. I'd want blue LEDs though.

I own the HAF 932 and would like to see Cooler Master incorporate more cable managing features like the Corsair Obsidian 800d.

I painted the inside of my 932 to showcase the parts better. Great case for air cooled builds! I can fit a lot of good stuff in this case.
Im glad to see they are painting the inside for the customer. It really makes a huge difference.

Hopefully it has fan filters this time around...I got lazy and blew up my last system when I didn't blow out all the extra dust my HAF 932 sucks in.
