Which case: HAF922 or 690 II ?

Scougar · 23 Aug 2010 at 11:21

A colleague wants to know which case people think is better out of:
CoolerMaster HAF 922
CoolerMaster 690 II Basic (Is it worth the extra for the 'Advanced' version?)

Initial plan will be to set it up for water-cooling, does this affect his choice? May be used later for non-water-cooling.
Plan to use a to mounted 120x240mm radiator, which one does this best?
Will they both fit a 4870x2 graphics card?

Any other cases in this price range that would be better?

theres quite a few 690 variants but this one has 2 x 140 mm fans at top so you could get a 280 rad in there, or you can use optional 120mm fans but Id go for the slightly bigger rad

Having had conversations with people who have worked with both, it seems like the Advanced Dominator gets the head up more often than not. Well, two to zero as it were, but still. So if you are looking for how enjoyable it is to work with and for the features and functions, the Dominator might be your best bet.
