HAF 932 or HAF 922

[Boo-Yeah!!]

Cant decide on which one to get!!

HAF 932 without any doubt because it is full tower.

Mid towers are smaller, but rotten when it comes to air circulation in comparison to a full.

Yep. But both choices are great. I got a HAF 932 for a dad. Built him a full gaming rig so he can effectively and efficiently check his emails and surf the web.

Or if you have the money, look into the Corsair Obsidian 800D.

antec cases are extremely overrated.

the HAF is a much better case from personal experience.

I have the HAF 932 and I LOVE it.
Keeps my system at a cool 30 Celsius idle.

Granted that side panel looks cool, but you lose the space for the side fans (1x 230mm fan OR 4x 120mm fans) which pull a lot of air into the case

922, in reality unless your running super-hot stuff the difference in temperatures between the two would be 1-2 degrees. Buy a extra side fan, and for most mid-level components, it'll be good cooling.
The difference in price could be used on something else, like a fan controller or a new heatsink.

i think your numbers are off. You can have temp changes up to 5-10 degrees centigrade if you know what you are doing with a full tower compared to a mid.

Full towers always provide better air circulation, more possibilities for fans, liquid cooling etc, and better cable management.

If what you said was true, hardly anyone would use full tower cases which is not the case anymore (no pun intended).

My point is a Mid Tower will work fine for mid-level components.
Can you drop 5-10 degrees from a mid-tower to a full? Yes, from my personal experience it does happen. But the 922 has fantastic cable management, which is something most midtowers lack, the reason why the difference can be so much.
