I got myself a second-hand Cooler Master HAF 922 some time last year. I was in search for a worthy case with a transparent side panel to show off (to myself, at least) the SLI setup inside. It was a good deal because it was sold with a 700w Cougar power supply and a Samsung DVD writer. What sucked was how I brought it home. It took me a lot of sweat. Nonetheless, it has served me well as a cool (literally and figuratively) case for my SLI setup.
There’s just something about it that doesn’t feel right aside from the stickers that I chose not to remove and two 5.25” meshes that must came from another case—the front fan LED was red. It looked like an AMD powerhouse.
Alas, I found myself a Cooler Master CM 690 Nvidia Edition. Thanks again, TPC. This time, I had the help of my father in picking it up. I also find it a good deal with additional fans installed. There are some cosmetic damages but I’ll live with that. I have yet to transfer
Then I realized, I have 4 Cooler Master cases here in my room, the aforementioned 2, my CM 690 II, and my spare Elite 361. I’ll have to post the HAF 922 once I’ve transferred the SLI setup. As for the Elite, I’ve been reserving it for an AMD HTPC but I’m thinking of selling it, too, preferably packaged the Vortex+ HSF installed in the SLI setup.
So I have these 4, the PC downstairs is in a Centurion 5, my office pc I in a Centurion 5 II, my old office PC (now used by another) is in an Elite model (I can’t remember the model number). Talk about brand preference.
