Good night
I'm new to forum, I made a new pc, and I'm in doubt between these cases:

HAF 922 - Cooler Master
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?category_id=19&product_id=2919

HAF 932 AMD Limited Edition - Cooler Master
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?category_id=18&product_id=2963 (is this correct?)

HAF 932 - Cooler Master
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?category_id=18&product_id=3037

PS: I had chosen the 922, but I was told that the 932 is better.

This is the configuration:
Processor: Core i7 2600k
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS EXTREME IV
Memory: Corsair 8GB (4x4) DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000w 90%
HD: 1TB SATA II 7200rpm/64mb
Video Card: Geforce GTX 590
Cooler: Water Cooler Corsair Hydro Series H60

Are you dead set on Cooler Master or have you considered other cases? $159 @ Newegg is a pretty good deal but I think you can get more case for less at $160~

None of those would be my personal choice tbh. But if I had to choose from those, it'd be HAF 922. Full tower just isn't needed, and 922 has plenty of cooling.

I am decided about Cooler Master.

I prefer the looks of the 922 but the 932 lets you have 4x140mm fans on the side and shove a 360 rad up top if required.

Are you worried about noise at all?

Have you also considered Cooler Master's 690 II Advanced, and Storm series cases? If I had to buy any Cooler Master case, it'd be Storm Sniper. Mid tower with 3x 200mm + 120mm stock cooling.

The case of your build is what will most likely last you the longest, so spend and get whichever you feel the most comfortable with from an aesthetic and performance point of view.

Agreed. One of the best air cooling cases you'll find at any price for $165 shipped (After mail in rebate)...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811163154

edit: this is actually a slightly better deal... $160 shipped with no rebate to mess around with...

http://www.amazon.com/SILVERSTONE-R...8KZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325785578&sr=8-1

and the newer "E" version with the Pentrator fans and room for more HDs is $20 more...

Of course if your heart is set on a HAF, I'd personally go with the 932.
