Hello All,
I'm currently on the market for mid-tower gaming case. I've done some preliminary research and narrowed it down to 3 options:
Antec 900 two (902) Price 109.99
Cooler Master HAF 922 Price 99.99
Cooler Master Sniper Black Price 119.99
So far as I can tell these are the pros and cons of each option.
Antec 902:
Pros: Dust filters, all black interior, you can control the speed of most fans (no central controler)
Cons: Hard drives are parallel with the case, I prefer Perpendicular for cable management. The cable management sucks compared to the cooler master. In my opinion it is kind of ugly, and I don't think think we can turn off the blue led fan lights. Also it is a pain to change harddrives because you must remove the rack with 4 thumb screws and then slide out the bay. It has a partial side window, I don't like those.
CM HAF 922:
Pros: The best looking of the three, Good cable management, 3 200mm fans, perpendicular harddrives. Tool less HDD and OD installation. Ventilation for the bottom mounted PSU. LED Light control.
Cons: Some fan ports don't have dust filters, 1 200mm fan not included, No central fan controller. The interior is not all black.
CM Black Sniper: Central Fan controller, Dust covers on all fan ports, 3 200mm fan spots, perpendicular harddrives. Tool less HDD and OD installation. Ventilation for bottom monunted PSU. LED light control and Handles for moving the case easily.
Cons: Looks kind of ugly 1 200 mm fan not included. Most expensive of the three.
These are what I can tell so far, and in my mind there is no front runner. Any thoughts or inputs would be appreciated. If anyone owns any of these particular cases, the first hand intel would be most appreciated.
