Features

[imageline]

[/imageline]At the rear of the chassis you will notice two 80mm case fans. These fans are designed to extract the warm air generated by the internal components. Cooler air from out of the chassis is brought into the chassis from the numerous ventilation points. [imageline][/imageline]The PSU and Hard Drives have their own ventilation points. Cooler air from outside of the chassis is brought in and blown through the components. This aids in keeping the PSU and HDDs as cool as possible. [imageline][/imageline]To improve HDD cooling even further it is possible to add an 80mm fan to both HDD cages. The image below shows the route of the airflow through the chassis. [imageline][/imageline]Available under two flaps either side of the optical drive are I/O ports and a supplied Multi-media card reader. [imageline][/imageline]Media information is shown on the LCD monitor thanks to the supplied iMON software, while the remote control is fully MCE compatible.

Compatibility

The 932 can accommodate full size ATX motherboards and PSUs.

If you plan to use a fanless graphics card that uses heatpipes then make sure the heatpipes do not extend over the top of the card. If they do then it will not be possible to install the roof of the chassis.

The maximum height of a CPU cooler that can be used is 130mm.

The only other thing to consider is the optical drive. The aluminium bezel supplied with the chassis does not fit all optical drives. Moneual recommend LG and Lite-On optical drives. Unfortunately the Samsung drive we provide is not compatible.

If you are planning to use a Blu-ray optical drive it is recommended that you opt for a motherboard that is 194mm deep. This is because most Blu-ray drives are 200mm deep which will prevent a full size ATX motherboard (240mm deep) to be installed at the same time as a 240mm deep motherboard. This is why a motherboard of 194mm deep is recommended when using a Blu-ray optical drive.
