you really don’t need one, I would recommend take your socks off if your on a rug, and every 10 mins or so touch something metal that your not working with so the current in your body, if there is one, leaves.

The big brother has a side fan the haf 922 doesn’t come with one
AeonDeity | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #
Does this one beat its big brother - the 932?
I’m considering whether I should pick 922 or 932.
Is there a great difference?

This case (the HAF 922) comes with standoffs & mounting screws — you can see them in the last item image if you search for HAF 922 on Newegg.

The standoffs are actually made of brass, that was my mistake in the video! Most cases I’ve worked with come with the standoffs & mounting screws.
hypercam258 | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #
either one
edisito9 | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #
do the standoffs come with the case or the motherboard?? or is this something you have to buy
petronasf1 | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #
does the cooper screw comes with the case or i have to buy own my own or maybe i did not see properly X__X

It’s actually $110
the full tower version is $140
No1snYpeslikme | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #
It’s still like $136. I bought the Cooler Master Storm Scout, and it was $90.

The HAF 922 isn’t a full tower its a mid tower
the HAF 932 is a full tower thought

Retail AMD or Intel CPUs come with a stock heatsink/fan and pre-applied thermal paste as seen in the video — these tend to “get the job done”. You’ll almost always see some degree of improvement by using aftermarket heatsinks & thermal paste, but you’ll probably only need it if you’re planning to overclock or if your computer is in a room with a warm ambient temperature. If you decide to go aftermarket, check out EggXpert for advice and clean the old thermal paste with Newegg item 35-100-010.

I LOVE that case but it’s a little pricey not to mention I don’t have space for a full tower

Depending on what the stock compound is. If it’s bundled with a high quality cooler, it could be better than AS5. For most cases, though, AS5 will be better.

I would just like to thank you for this video, it has answered some of this first time computer builders questions, but it has also made some to, Is it better to use the stock Thermal Compound or should I use the Arctic Silver 5 I have left over from fixing my Xbox 360. Also could you maybe make a video showing the best technique for applying the compound?
jaidrofire | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #
go to a hardware store and buy some extra standoffs?
knjanitor | November 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm #

can i install the mobo anyway?

what to do

So far, no issues — this is with the PC up on a desk. If you’re going to have the PC on the floor (which I personally never recommend, more dust etc), you would probably want to flip the PSU.
