Cooler Master HAF Mini 922 Case
Last September the HAF 932 knocked our socks off as a feature-rich full tower that left us struggling to find flaws. Cooler Master went back to the drawing board and just introduced the mid-tower version, the HAF 922. While that's the official title, it has already been dubbed the "HAF mini" and expectations are high. While the unofficial title suggests that it is just a stripped down version of the HAF 932, we found out there are many defining differences. Do these differences improve upon the 932 that we drooled over or did the strip-down and changes leave us feeling a empty inside? Stick with us to find out.
