Up Close:  915R Exterior

The 915R we’re looking at here comes packaged with the main case to make up the HAF 935.  Unlike the 915R which can be purchased separately the 915R supplied as part of the 935 package does not have a front I/O.  It does though clearly share the lines of the main case and has readily identifiable HAF lineage.

Large vented panels down each side of the case do more than hint a the 915Rs ability to receive substantial radiators.  In fact, should you wish you can put 2x360mm or 2x280mm rads in here, with one on either side and even set up a through flow push/pull configuration.  As with the other cases, both the top and base of the 915R are removable and will interlink to form a larger unit as we’ll see later.

There’s so much perforation that you can actually see right through the case.  We suspect that it won’t be too long though before we see windowed side panels available for those not keen to get wet but who want to show off their interior better.  Failing that there’s always the dremel.

If you’ve been wondering why i’s called the 915R then wonder no more.  It’s because the PSU is located at the rear.  Designed to take Mini-ITX boards the location of the PSU above the rear mounted Mini-ITX board severely limits the max cooler height to 80mm.  Do bear in mind though that this case does not have a front I/O and as such no power button.  The PSU mount is made available so that should you wish to swap the I/O from the main case, or perhaps purchase an extra to form a self contained case you can.  The point though of this 915R as we’ll see later is storage or water cooling, making the rear PSU mount largely unnecessary.  Still, it’s nice to have the option.

Underneath the case we again find both grommeted and un grommeted cable and tubing routing holes along with four screws that will enable us to remove the internal HDD rack
