Expert reviews and ratings

The Cooler Master HAF 922 retains most of the features that made the original model great, offering a smaller and lighter chassis that sticks to the winning formula brought with the HAF 932. Although the modified looks of the HAF 922 fall in the...

Coolermaster did a great job of welcoming me to the computer building world with this great case! The massive fans on this thing keep my system cool all day long. There was plenty of room to work in and I never once felt cramped putting together this...

CoolerMasterBoth cases offer excellent cooling options. Out of the box, the HAF 932 is far superior to the 922 thanks to it's included side mounted 230mm fan. You really don't need anything extra with the 932 to get the best cooling capacity. It...

After spending some time with Cooler Master's original HAF932, I was looking forward to testing the latest HAF922 case. This version has a much smaller footprint that it's big brother, but still has ample room for the largest components. The...

And now for something rather similar Cooler Master wowed us last year with its full-tower HAF 932, which garnered Maximum PC’s coveted Kick Ass Award (November 2008). Now we’ve gotten our hands on the midtower version of the HAF, the 922,...

I'm struggling with this one as the 922 hasn't exactly had the easiest start in life, trying to live up to the standards of its bigger brother the 932. You cant argue with the test results this case really did a great job of keeping the test set...

a solid, good-looking chassis that just needs a few tweaks to go from good to...

When Cooler Master first told us about the HAF 922 we were expecting it to be inferior to the HAF 932 in many aspects. Happily, we’ve been pleasantly surprised, and on many levels the HAF 922 has the better of the HAF 932. The exterior styling...
