Thumbs up Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower review

So I recently bought a Cooler Master HAF (or High Air Flow) 922 mid-tower case.

Now, I've worked with a lot of low-end, run-down, junky, poorly-built, piece of junk cases but this one is AWESOME! I would highly recommend this case to anyone looking for an awesome mid-tower. It's generally cheaper than an Antec 900, and you can also find this one in full-tower size, in the Cooler Master HAF 932.

Here are just SOME features of the 922:

Incredible tool-free design for add-on cards and everything else. I had to use 6 screws. 4 for the power supply, and 2 to mount the Hard Drive Disk into the easy swap hard drive bay.

Incredible cooling power. It comes standard with a 140MM fan in the back and 2 humongous, very quiet 200MM fans. One in the front and one on top of the case. I also put on an extra 200MM fan on the side, and replaced the back fan with a red LED 140MM. The front fan has an LED off switch in case you don't like color in your system.

Bottom mount for the Power Supply Unit. Once I get my modular Power Supply replacement (the one I purchased was DOA), I'll mount it on the bottom, which is really nice even if you have a non-modular or standard power supply.

Spacious. I was able to put in my ATI Radeon HD 5870 with plenty of room to spare.

I would highly recommend the case to anyone and everyone looking to build a new pc.

I'll be posting pictuers of my system soon.

Thumbs up installed cathod LEDs

I just recently installed some cold cathode LEDs in this bad boy, and instead of red they are an off pink. O well. I just left them in, it's not a big deal, it actually looks kind of cool. I just wish it was a deeper red that really stood out. I will hopefully be posting pics later tonight (perhaps).

Ugh. Turns out I left my digital camera at my aunt's house.
