"this case offers superb value and excellent cooling,
and is easily upgraded. Support for the largest add-in boards and lots
of storage in a mid-tower height means you can use this case for several
builds to come."
"This case is a clear winner in my book, 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 Cooler Master HAF 922 is a bold case that doesn't compromise in its scale.
It's got everything covered that a hardware enthusiast would need, but priced
more towards someone working on a budget. And it does it without
losing much by the way of quality or style."
"The case has all the features I would expect a case to have. The hard drive bays
are particularly awesome to use, as instalilng a new hard disk is effortless. I
love the rugged way this case looks, and the way that it doesn't "over do" the
LED fan lights like some other cases do."
"This case is nothing short of amazing, and I am really not surprised by its
stellar performance. Installation of hardware was a breeze, and the higher
airflow and increased space helped bring down the temperatures of the test
system by an average of 10C which classifies as amazing in my book no matter how
you look at it."
"Pricing out at $120 on the street, the Cooler Master 922 HAF case
is a winner. Not only for offering lots of features and clean looks but for
doing so at a price point within reach of the masses. The Cooler Master 922 HAF
case is yet another example of outstanding workmanship and value and is a case
we can easily recommend."
PCWizKid
tried hard to find flaws with the HAF 922 mid tower,
but there isn't much to complain about. This is a terrific starter case for a
gaming rig. With plenty of room and airflow the design, quality and features of
Cooler Master HAF series cases once again makes it a PCWizKid Recommended
product.
"The Cooler Master HAF series has yet to disappoint: solid, heavy-duty
construction along with the little details that make the cases so well thought
out. For its price-point, I cannot recommend a better mid-tower case plain and
simple."
"This case is a solid performer with plenty of features that make it great. There
are lots of little things I didn't have time to touch on like washable plastic
filters in the front mesh bezels and a front e-sata port......I would have no problems in recommending this case to anyone. "
"The Cooler Master HAF 922 is a very
good case and lives up to the quality standards you expect from a Cooler Master
product. The Cooler Master HAF 922 is good looking, works well, and looks good
-- you can’t ask for much more."
"The HAF 922 performed very well. The HAF 922 was easy to build in and at full
load the temperatures in the case only rose to two degrees......Overall, I feel that you really can't go wrong when purchasing the Cooler Master
HAF 922."
"The pros heavily outweigh the con and as such will be money well spent. Quiet
and efficient, neat yet rugged, suave and solid … the HAF 922 is a very good
chassis that does well to satisfy the needs of beginners and enthusiasts
alike."
"Cooler Master has really served notice with the HAF 922, proving that a
mid-tower case can offer premium features, excellent quality, a ready-made water
cooling setup that won't require any modding, and a spacious layout that shames
many full towers we've seen......Indeed, the Cooler Master HAF 922 is one of the very best mid-tower cases you\'ll
find on the market."
"I almost feel like a Coolermaster fanboy by this point. I have been finding it
harder and harder to find problems with their cases that I can nitpick. It is
almost like I should invent a problem to feel like I gave the HAF 922 a proper
review."
"The Cooler Master HAF 922 is a very good case and lives up to the quality
standards you expect from a Cooler Master product. The Cooler Master HAF 922 is
good looking, works well, and looks good -- you can’t ask for much more."
"Cooler Master has taken nearly everything into account with the HAF 922 Mid
Tower case including water cooling......Cooler Master has a Hot Product with this case due to all of these factors with
the only negative being short feet."
"I really enjoy using this case. The cooling is better than my previous case
as it offers more fans and airflow and the aesthetics just look plain cool. It
barely fits on my desk as a mid-tower case but still falls happily in that
category. With the option of a large, 230 mm fan on the side, I plan to add one
soon to increase airflow. Additionally, the durability of this case is amazing
and looks like it will hold up for years to come."
"Cooler Master really seemed to listen to its customers on the HAF 922 design by
responding with improvements in most areas that the larger HAF 932 lacked in."
"Legit Bottom Line:Cooler Master has brought us yet another very well
built case that performs very well, is quiet, nice looking, and can hold large
parts with ease."
"Mid-tower cases have seemingly always had to sacrifice in one area to make up
for others......The HAF922 has broken all these rules......All in all, this is a great chassis."
"With the HAF 922, Cooler Master has delivered a great product in a smaller size
without losing any key features. You still get great cooling and the tool free
design of the HAF 932 but in a smaller package. "
"I wasn’t surprised one bit when I had everything setup and computer never heated
up......having reviewed the Twelve Hundred and the Nine Hundred in the past there is no
doubt that [HAF 922] is quieter"
"Looking at the case for the first time we were impressed by its impeccable
external paint job and sturdy aspect......Cooler Master HAF 922 is targeted to users that want a good mid-tower case full
of features."
"The Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower case is an excellent choice for gamers, enthusiasts, or anybody who wants to
have a great looking case while also keeping their components cool."
"The Bottom Line: If I were looking to buy a case, the Cooler Master HAF 922 takes top honors in my bang for the buck selections with a ton of quality features."
"As for any cons, I just cant seem to find one......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."
"I expected the 922 HAF to have good heat dissipation results, so its outstanding
thermal performance only made it sweeter. I had also fully expected it to be
another noisy case, but was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it really was."
"In a nutshell, the positive aspects of the Cooler Master HAF 922 include its
massive top and rear 200mm fans, flexible fan installation options, sturdy
design, motherboard retaining hole, cable management system, plenty of
expansion, and the overall level of quality."
