it depends coz the price also different. if u like the design of the HAF 922 then go for it.

i only can tell u tat CM 690 II Advanced version is great as it has dust filters which HAF922 don hav, n then it has SATA dock which HAF922 don hav. but HAF922 is a bigger case where it can accommodate all kind of highend stuffs (CPU cooler, graphic card..) where CM690 II cant do so.

Hey welcome back..!! What have u been using since u quit CM..? Banyak not-so-good experiences ka..?

no la last time pursuit for high end things so i go for thermaltake full tower etcs, den now i plan to "downgrade" myself back to mainstream lo.
so come back to CM , coz CM mainstream's case is nice!

so far both CM, thermaltake, thermalright, silverstone also giv me good experiences la nv got no-so-good experiences oso but it is up to wat u meant for la =D


anyway i just finished setup my CM 690 II advanced edition, now what left is a mobo and i7 2600k den everything is GOOD TO GO !!
massive picture bomb will be post here xD ~ (i m using black/red theme)

ps. DVDRW, fans controller, cables management everything is in place waiting to ROCK! =D

Nice pix. Mind to show more interior picture of what inside? Maybe more bling bling eh.

nah inside all very stock hehehe.. nothing much to share actually but another CM product is 650W GX

wow GTX460. yummy

Oh i only asked because i've been using only CM cases for.. 6 years now..
Mostly because CM very affordable..
DOWNGRADE YOU SAY..???? HOW DARE YOU..!! Hehehe just kidding, just kidding
I think what you mean is 'Best bang for buck' or 'Best value' hehehehe

Nice setup liao lar. Try to squeeze in those cables behind mobo tray more neat.

OPs sorry yea best bang for bucks!

here is my latest setup,
Intel 2600k
P8P67 Deluxe
Corsair Vangeance DDR3 (2x4GB) ~ not yet reach
EVGA GTX560 ~ not yet release

ya still working on the cable management. the vendor who installed for me left the whole bunch of cables in the casing i organize most of them to the rear of my mobo already.. only left some tiny casing cable flying around no time for that yet..

i doubt the chap who install my hardware actually knows the air flow is important..

another thing is my Haf922 actually doesnt have much place to hide my cable.. kinda sad..

CM 690 II Advanced has painted interior. Looking for other models from CM have painted interior also.

Haf-X

dayyum, one of my fans is running below 1800rpm, hovering around 15xxrpm. signs of dying?

Guys using the HAF-X (especially overclockers),
do u guys swith the top fans to become intakes instead of exhausts..?
any suggestions on fan setups to lower temps..?

me looking for +ve air pressure, less dust. imo, not much difference if intake or exhaust

my fan only run about 500rpm optimum and about 800 on performance.. but which fan r u talking abt? processor or? my processor fan also running at about 1500rpm but it will reach 2200rpm on load

i m not sure about ur setup but this is the setup from CM official. if u put it as intake the only hot air exhaust will be at the rear.. you will suck alot of air but the air all trap within the case as the exhaust is too slow.. anyway do correct me as i am a newbie here

its sickleflow, shud be 10% +/- from max 2000rpm. in fact all d fans in my casing were d same type.lol

btw, d problematic one were my front intake...

Remember this: Hot air rises.
Basic physics: Cool air at the bottom, hot air above.

In any (modern) computer case, manufacturers always build their case with top fan(s) in exhaust configuration.
Why? Better cooling and airflow.
Top fan(s) often pull out hot air from the CPU, MOSFET, VRMs and etc.
If one setup the top fan as an intake, more air pressure build-up inside the case making it hotter.
In your case, just leave it in exhaust configuration. Pull more cool air from the bottom.

So, just make sure your airflow and fan configuration is correct.
Keep it cool....
