Cooler Master Introduces The HAF 922
Cooler Master has now extended their HAF (High Air Flow) line. Many of you may be familiar with the HAF 932 full tower case. Following its success, Cooler Master now introduces the HAF 922 mid tower case.

This rugged-looking, beast of a chassis comes fully featured just like its big brother offering the performance and functionality you would expect, while still delivering quite a bit of style.
Fan locations
The design of the case brings about turbulent airflow and superior thermal performance. It supports up to seven fans in total with up to three of them being 200mm in diameter. At the top, there is space for a radiator if using a water cooling setup. To also help facilitate this, there are tube holes on the back for the water tubes to pass through.
Tube holes for water cooling setup
A well thought-out interior provides features such as a CPU cooler retaining hole in the motherboard tray. This means that you can easily change the CPU cooler without removing your motherboard. Other holes included allow for good cable management, which clears up clutter and improves air flow.
Cable management
Cooler Master has now made their tool-free installation system a standard on most of their cases. The HAF 922 is no exception. This makes it a cinch to utilize up to five 5.25″ drive bays and five 3.5″ hard drive bays.
Tool-free design
Even the expansion slots carry the tool-free design and this makes it easy to add and remove video cards and such. The 7+1 design also allows an extra slot for those video card setups that utilize the last slot on the motherboard but need the space for its dual-slot cooler. Very nice touch.

The full specs are as follows:
The HAF 922 boasts just about all the features and functionality that its bigger brother does. It is good to see the HAF series expanded to cater to persons that would prefer a mid tower chassis.
