In Use
The Cooler Master HAF 922 is a very nice looking chassis. When it is powered up and the front LED light is on the case looks very sinister with a red glow coming from the front fan area. All the internal edges of the chassis are rolled so there is less of a chance that you will cut or nick your fingers during the build process. Many cheap cases leave a number of burrs on the inside that cut and have sharp edges as well.

One of the keys to good airflow in an enthusiast PC build is getting the mass of cables stowed neatly out of the way.
