Conclusion:

I can't say I'm too surprised. With the Cooler Master HAF (High Air Flow) 932 being a top tier case, I expected great things from the mid tower case. With two 230mm fans, one 120mm fan that alone provide decent airflow and passage, the case also has a lot of potential for cable management, as there are a few areas behind the motherboard tray as well as in any unused HDD cages to store any unused power cables. The looks are not too bad either. It has a rugged "industrial" look that a few people might enjoy. Its also has a lot of room to work with. With the 3.5" and 5.25" drive bays being tool free and having a power supply installed at the bottom of the case, everything should be plain sailing from the start. As for any cons, I just cant seem to find one. Motherboard headers, connectors or just about any location on the motherboard is in reach, drive bays have a tool-less design, yet the expansion slots don't. Personally I find this as an advantage - Id much rather have an expensive GPU to be well fastened out of harms way.

Overall, I highly recommend this case for anyone looking to start a new build and wants a quality case able to deliver the right amount of performance and satisfaction. The HAF 922 has followed in the footsteps of its big brother, the HAF932, with a sound design, excellent airfow and rugged good looks.
