News Introduction

Introduction
When it comes to cooling efficiency and rigid looks, cooler master has always delivered the best it its class. Last summer we saw Cooler Master delivering HAF 932, a cabinet which outperformed most of the competitors and still was as tough as a turtles’ back. This time cooler master has done it again, delivering the same cooling performance but with much budget oriented approach and defiantly slicing down those extra inches which really matters when you want to keep your computer cabinet under the table.
At first look, HAF 922 really amazed me with near total looks of HAF 932 with near border prices of a CM Storm Scout. So let’s move ahead and see what cooler master has to deliver with HAF 922.

The side panel is a major turn off. The front has mesh panel- including the fan. But cleaning them is anything but easy. As far as I have been told, inorder to clean the dust from the front panel, you will have to remove the front panel which requires you to remove 6 screws- so much for being an easily cleanable case.There's absolutely no air filter on the side panel so expect a lot of dust bunnies to get settled in.

This case should have been compared with nzxt tempest rather than cm ammo. I dont understand one thing. 7k on a case with lot of potential to become a honeycomb for dust- think about it.

We can't even remove dust filters from the front panel ?

What a bummer and I was planning to get this one due to space

I dont have- just letting you know when you get the case yourself you can make a proper comparison. Besides I dont think ammo is in the same price range as the haf 922. NZXT tempest comes for 6-6.5k I believe and comes with 2 removeable (using a screw driver) HDD cages with each having a 120mm fan AND the air filter. Just my 2 cents as this case will be a better option against this 922 case.

Good review dude...well done.

Dont worry abt people throwing up stuff at you. I see a couple of guys here who make it a point to add their negative views to all reviews and tests...I wish they would take the time and effort to do something like this.

Thnx for the review, it was a nice read.
The cabby though may not be upto everyones likings and needs, as choices/needs do differ. I feel the posts r all targetted at the few shortcomings of the cabby itself and does not undermine the work of the reviewer.

I would recommend you to take your time and read the comment carefully. I added my own views about the case which doesn't even say anything remotely against the review OR the tests. Mithun has rightly pointed it that out so its pretty obvious I have framed my words properly.

can u compare it with antec 900/cm scout and put it beside haf 932?

I would aslo suggest that u take a measuring tape/sheet fixed to wall(u knw like the one used to measure our height) and photograph all the cabinets u review so that we can have the idea of size.

I was astonished when I saw a stacker. I never tht a case could get tht big And equally disappointed by CM 690 dimensions(inside)

HAF 932 - (W) 9.0" x (H) 21.5" x (D) 22.7"
HAF 922 - (W) 10" x (H) 19.7" x (D) 22.2"

Its not cramped case.
