Which case?

DreadAlert · 8 Mar 2011 at 19:36

Hey guys.

I'm having a hard time choosing between a couple of cases.
The Coolermaster HAF 922, and the Antec 902.

Could you guys help me decide and tell me your experiences with both?

Thanks.

922.

While both are excellent at cooling and will take all gfx cards the 902 is so damned noisy.

I also prefer the aesthetics, interior and cable management (because it actually exists

) of the 922

Well, if you had to pick out of these cases, which would you go for?

Coolermaster 912+
Coolermaster 922
Antec 902
Fractal R3
InWin Dragon Rider.

The Coolermaster CM 690-II or the Lancool PC-K62 are just as good/better than those cases, in my opinion.

DreadAlert · 8 Mar 2011 at 22:52

I could get that one too. Forgot to list it.

It's a good deal cheaper too.

well, actually, I've got a bright red glowing keyboard and mouse too, so I'll probs get the HAF 922 just to add to my setup.

You can get a bright red Lancool K62 now for around £90...

Get the R1 version and it's bright red!

Fractal R3 IMO. Very nice subtle case, unless you want an all shouty one lol

690II is an awesome case. My second option was the HAF 922 though - turned out the 960 II had more features, but propbably not as cool (still cool though will all the fans.)

H922 by far, though you may want to create a couple of air filters for the bottom and side air grills since they are inlets and if the case has any faults at all then it is the lack of air filtering on the underside and side grills

DreadAlert · 10 Mar 2011 at 17:30

What about the HAF X and Antec 1200 compared to these two?

zebedeee · 11 Mar 2011 at 14:48

The HAF X does supercede the HAF 922 in many ways, However, The HAF 922 is approximately £50 cheaper than the HAF X.
As for the home made air filters for the underside and the side air grills it cost me £2 for materials and it's enough materials to do the job 5-8 times.

I haven't looked at the antec cases so i can't comment on those.
