Cooler Master Introduces HAF 922 Mid Tower Chassis

sometimes they line up sometimes they don't. it's better than no access hole thats for sure.

From the looks its just 7+1, so you stick what you want there.
 
the side panel and name has changed since the prototype unveiled at CeBIT they changed the side panel and it was originally named the HAF Mini now called HAF 922.

makes you wonder, Corsair said their new case was going to undertake 25 changes in the final build.

Edit: nevermind the 8th expansion slot is still on the Left.
 
That 8th expansion slot is still there it it just empty.

yeah I know. thats lame I thought the CeBIT pictures looked like it used the Storm Sniper perforated expansion slot covers those look solid.

I'm using the Silverstone AeroSlots on my Sniper anyway, they look better :D
 
really? granted they are a little better but they are nikel plated not sure how they would turn out or if you needed special prep for them to paint. love my Silverstone Aero Slots I originally put them in my old 690 and they shed almost 4 degree's off my video card they also help exhausting the heat that radiates up from a power supply housing from the front intake.
 
Paint? :confused:
 
yes, if you want to paint the case lol you know aerosol based or powder coat?
 
Oh I see, dont do painting lol. A 5 year old could prob do a better job :o

At least with my sniper the top, front and bottom are already black, lol. Shame they didnt keep it black throughout, but then that would have pushed the price up.
 
see how shiny the metal is it's like SGCC or some kind of anodizing coating they put on gives it that fake aluminum look they did the same thing for the new Scout Sniper.
 
On what?

(Sorry if I'm sounding dumb. Its late I have been up too long, lol)
 
Storm Sniper and Scout Sniper. notice how much shinier the metal is compared to your 690?
 
Its actually less shiny

They havent gone for alu look, its a gun metal look, VERY nice finish. I'll get you a pic
 
comparison.

HAF 932 (and pretty much every other Cooler Master Case is either a Beige or Milky Tint)

Storm Sniper, Storm Scout and HAF 922

no brother they are clearly different.
 
You cannot honestly tell me that you are arguing over the shinyness of two cases bee? :laugh:

Give it a rest, im fed up of this thread updating for such menial things. Back on topic please bee!
 
oh im not arguing it's just been bugging me if the Storm Sniper was made out of SGCC because if you google SGCC cases they look the same besides Cooler Master always lists "Steel" in the Specs Sheets they don't specify what kind.
 
SECC (electrogalvanized) and SGCC (hot dip), SECC is cheaper and put in a chemical solution it's electrically charged and the zinc binds with the steel to create the corrosion resistance, SGCC is dipped into a zinc solution and has a higher corrosion resistance because it's far thicker. i'm just curious if SGCC creates that "shine"

The backplate on my board lines up perfectly (no joke) in the middle of that access hole in my CM Storm Sniper
Click to expand...

That is awesome Alex. Mine has a slight hide behind that hole, almost like it is off centered. OF course I could dremel it and fix the problem but I dont mind it.
 
Ya know, I like the slotted expansion slot covers CM included. They are holey and offer about the same cooling in my eyes.
 
This is the best! It's wide, but squat. Don't you think the side windowed mesh looks like a transam ram air intake? It looks like that to me!
 
I dont like any case with a plastic front,and 90` hdd bays blocking the front fan.Lian Li FTW.

Dont slotted pci covers just mess with the positive/negative air pressure in your case?
