The HAF-X is a little more refined than the 932. Unless there's a huge price different between the two, there's no reason not to buy the HAF-X. Both cases are excellent though. I'm very happy with my 932 BE.

The HAF 932 Advanced also comes with USB 3.0 although it performs similarly to the 932 otherwise. The 932 Advanced comes with the interior painted black as well, something the original 932 didn't have.

I don't find them to be expensive considering how wonderful the air flow are in these cases. Especially great for those users with custom-open design GPU's that disperse heat inside the case. There's SO much room, any GPU out on the market will fit in it. And you can say that about any large/giant aftermarket CPU coolers as well. Basically put, you do not have to worry with this case. It's a purchase that comes with a peace of mind, and dollar for dollar, it's well worth it. I don't have to buy another PC case for a long time.

On top of all that expensive cases are so much easier to work with than cheap ones.

My HAF 922 does have one horrible design flaw though and that is that it is such a cumbersome procedure to close the side panel, almost makes me demotivated to open it. I also some times get frustrated with it and try the good ol impatient push and I worry if I might break something.

they look almost the same lol

but i suggest just looking around for reviews from many sources, something you can do on your own

a case is pretty much the easiest thing to research, takes almost no technical knowledge, just time

So is sit's between Noisy and Louder, the two friends that will deaf your ears.

:)

What are the purpose of the case?

Great and pleanty airflow can be brought by case's much more silent.

A good case with directed airflow (not open mesh all over the place.) can cool even the most powerhungry PC's and still be farily quiet.

I don't like my side panel either. I wish they would put hinges on the HAF-series. That would be cool :D

HAF-X IMO is better because of the Dust Filters. There's a filter on the side, front, and underneath it, as well as the top. The HAF-932 doesn't have a single dust filter, but this is also a pro because the airflow is slightly better. (Dust Filters Restrict Airflow) You can also install a power supply in both the top and the bottom of the HAF-932, whereas the HAF-X is limited to only the bottom.

True. Maybe I should have modded it with door hinges. :lol: Yeah, I love the HAF cases.

HAF-932 and HAF-X both have wheels. Very convenient for moving around, especially if you're the type of person that likes to redecorate your room. :P

This is it.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Suza-Advance-NeoXblade-8813B-SATA/dp/tech-data/B001IM55CM/ref=de_a_smtd

Well.. my friend actually got it for me.. xd
It came with an 80mm fan on the left panel and a 120mm on the front intake.. I then added a 120mm for exhaust..
Although it's still a midtower.. if you own a PSU with many cables it becomes a little rough to manage..

I would never buy either ugly and expensive, cases aren't much more than a fashon statement unless your are into some serious overclocking. A $50 case is mostly just as good as a $150 case when it comes to airflow, you pay for things like motherboard trays and screwless hdd mounting.
