    I plan to buy a proper case for my components to keep them cool but I cannot decide which one have a better cooling.
    Is anyone which know which one is better?
    P.S I like both cases but my main goal is the cooling.



    Thank you v much!!

    Yes I looked into it but the reason for what I chosen the 922 is the CPU retaining hole access which is much easier to change an CPU fan cooler without to take off all the motherboard. Is not a bad case but I like the 922.

    Thank you

    thats a very subjective thing - i find the HAF922 and Antec 902 both pleasant to look at, yet some people despise the 902. Having said that i saw the Fractal Designs case and drooled at the elegance (when will we get a review of that bindi?).

    if you want high airflow and bland looks then go for the Antec 300 or something.

    The 922 has better stuff overall.

    But I'd go with the K62 or the K58.

    Welcome Alex!

    Don't you find your PSU has now become a vacuum cleaner though? Looking at the picture the feet sink into the carpet and the 922 has no filter.

    It was always a shame the P5Q doesn't come with right-angled SATA :( Lovely clean setup though :thumb:
