I've already done powder coating for all the internal parts now left the external parts, the 2 side windows, the top and bottom only. Since it has paint on it, i had to remove it first.

See the internal parts here : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1546673

Got the chemical from my cousin who is a jobber. He didn't say its name but gave me the brush on type. Apparently there is 2 types, brush on and the other is immersion which you need a tank. Don't bother trying those paint remover from the hardware shop, i've wasted 30 bucks from 3 diff shop with 3 diff brands.




























Just PM me if you need to powder coat your build, currently just doing black.

I don't know the name yet, my cousin will check for me. he got it from a supplier - a sample bottle and he gave that to me. It's a thick cloudy solution, not smelly. It was labeled as 171. Just finished the 2 side panels. Will be posting the images in a jiffy Will let u know once i get the name and msds for the chemical.

These are the remaining images. The front side window panel was a bit tough to remove, i guess they had a protective layer on top and the shiny letters of HAF. Still managed to remove all, next stop Powder Coating

All my Cooler Master HAF 932 parts came back from powder coating. Just finished the first part of the assembly, posting the images here. Sorry, for the image quality will take better ones soon. Did a custom logo and powder coated it too, will let you know where it will go in the casing, after finish arranging the custom mesh panels...Extra mesh!!! and 2 big window





























RonModz Logo

It was ok, not so hard. Just apply on, wait for it to blister and peel, apply again till all the paint is removed and clean the surface. I bet it's much more faster if you use the immersion method. Mine was the brush on. Took about 2 days to finish, about 4 hrs a day.

The whole case including my DVD-ROM covers and the steel logo - RM 186.00. Let me know early, can get group discounts . I need to send my modders mesh too. Just need to finish bending and shaping it first.

It sure looks nice with Black rivets, got it from MDPC-X.

It's a liquid type....quite thick

Thanks Bro Will be having 2 windows on each side panel, exposed but covered with acrylic and mesh. 2 extra blowholes with mesh and few other things. Will be posting images as the work progresses

My side window mod for HAF 932, a big window and a small 120mm blow hole - no fans, just for fun

The side panel that you see above is the right side panel, i used waterjet cutting service, the main side panel window is slightly bigger and i cut that myself, used jigsaw and the cutting line was not straight. So, when i went to fabricate my logo, i asked the guy favor and he did it for me . It took less than 5 minutes

Yup, i believe waterjet cutting can cut weird designs, waterjet can cut almost anything and any thickness which laser cut can't do. The difference that i see is, when you cut transparent acrylic, laser cut will leave a smooth transparent edge on the cutting area whereas the waterjet will leave a non-transparent cloudy surface. For metal and complicated designs, i would prefer waterjet.

Ever since started to use waterjet, i seem to forgot my jigsaw skills..LOL. For the big window and the blowhole cost me RM60.00. A bit pricy for a 5 min job but it was a precision cut . I guess would be a lot cheaper, if you can write the CNC Gcodes for them, or give them the ED in autocad or ai.

Yup, thursday sounds fine..Yippie it's a public holiday

Thanks. Nope, i didn't have any problem sliding in the hdd trays. Maybe, the coating was a bit thicker in your case. But then, it's OK, how often do we remove the hdds

Just tested out the NoiseBlocker - 140mmx140mmx25mm Black Silent Pro PK-3 fan on my HAF 932. This fan is super cool and silent. I would really really recommend this fan . Uploaded a short video on YT - the unboxing and how it runs.

Maybe you didn't watch the video till the end.

Thanks

Just got my replacement parts from Cooler Master for the HAF 932 Front Side Panel Bars. This time ordered some extra pieces. The rest is additional stuffs for stock - Blue LED rocker switch, 3M Scotch Brite 4010 tape, Black Molex housing. Will start my mod today and hopefully can start posting images soon

This is what happened to my HAF 932 Front Side Bar - the holesaw kinda stuck and made the diameter of the hole larger- so now my rocker switch can't sit. Damn!!!



These are the parts that arrived today











Ordered 1 left and 2 right bars

Managed to get the holes for LED Rocker Switch just right this time. This 2 switch will control my CCFL and the front LED on the big fan of the HAF 932.



Marked the 2 holes and centre punch it.



After drilling with hole saw.



Switch sits perfect now



View on the chassis.



Close up view.

Will start the cable management and install the big window. My custom case feet will be ready in 2 weeks time!!!. Having it manufactured in aluminium and black anodized.

Thanks Bro
