haf 912 is slightly smaller than haf 922 so haf 922 has the better airflow due to it has huge empty space to do all the cable management. haf 912 advanced has black interior while haf 922 does not hav black interior. then haf 912 has the removable hdd cage to accommodate the highend graphic card which haf 922 also able to support without even removing the hdd cage. if u hav less space for ur pc table then haf 912 is the good choice but if u hav quite a number of space for ur pc table then go for haf 922. both also has cons n pros. still the last decision goes on u. smile.gif

The 912 casing that we gonna get is with window ! The window design itself is not very nice ! Other like interior black, fan filter , hdd Easy slot in ans out and usb3.0 is quite a plus ! The pricing Also a plus as it is slightly cheaper than 922! Anyone know the release date for 912 case in Malaysia? Or anyone had already brought it from online ? I wish I could get. A 912 advance without window version

well looks like airflow is your top priority then.. design is not a feature IMO, its a preference

so here are some that have good airflow within the same price range as the NZXT 410

BitFenix Shinobi Window
BitFenix Outlaw
Cooler Master 690III
Cooler Master ScoutII
Cooler Master HAF 912 Adv
Corsair 300R
Thermaltake MS-1
Thermaltake Lvl 10 GT

take a look at them and select the design you want, most important is that you go and look at the chassis before buying wink.gif

I brought CM HAF 912 Adv 3 years back ! Quite nice thou but now building up a new PC so need to buy another one ! yes design is preferences so I would like to ask is the CM K380 is it worth it ? It does looks like HAF 912 but at lower price range !

What about NZXT 410 air flow ? From the way you reply me ! It doesnt looks good ? But the design wise I like it, alien style design. Do you know roughly how much?

Naturally the casing need to fit into the below gig:-

Intel Core i5 4440
Asrock H87 Pro4
Corsair Value Ram 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
SSD plextor M5S 128GB
Gainward GTX 760 Phantim 2GB DDR5
FSP Raider 650W PSU
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD
Cooler Master K380 Casing
Viewsonic VX2370S 23" IPS LED
Lite-On 24x DVDRW

The CM380 is a good chassis, I didn't include it because you already have it in consideration in the first place, the NZXT 410 as well, all of these chassis are good so it's all up to you what you're looking for... external looks, interior colour, rubber gromets placement, cable management options, HDD/SSD options, Front I/O placement etc etc etc

like I said, preference is key wink.gif I just gave you a list to compare similar price range chassis

I just browse thru the NZXT web and I found the H440 very nice design

Any comment on these casing ?

I check with idealtech but they say the casing yet to launch in malaysia

Anyone had any idea when it will be launch ?
