CM Enforcer or CM HAF 922

[RocknRolla]

Going to build a gaming rig next month but cant decide which cabinet to buy coolermaster ENFORCER or HAF922 so plz suggest me

 

[jsjs]

Enforcer's thermal performance is below haf 922 so my vote goes to 922 but we seriously cant deny that enforcer is visually more impressive.

Conclusion: HAF 922 is little bit wider & Spacious than Enforcer, whereas Enforcer has joined CM' league recently & off a different taste.

Consider Enforcer, otherwise go with NZXT Tempest EVO or HAF 922. Even if budget permits then why not getting a HAF 932 or NZXT Phantom.

Whats your Budget btw ??

If you say newer is better then Enforcer.
If you say old is gold then HAF922.

Both have pros and cons. So I would suggest read reviews about both and decide which suits your need and settle for that.

 

[abhidev]

i have HAF-922....it has plenty space inside....don't know abt enforecer...but looks good to...

 

[nilgtx260]

HAF 922 has USB 2.0 whereas Storm Enforcer has USB 3.0

 

[boddunan]

If you are looking for using a 2.5 inch drive like SSD, then you may consider HAF 912 as well as it comes with convertible 3.5" to 2.5" bracket, though this is of not much importance if you do not plan for 2.5" ssd. I did not see any major difference between 912 and 922 that justify the price difference between both.

I would rather choose 932 if I were to choose better case than 912.

HAF 922 has USB 2.0 whereas Storm Enforcer has USB 3.0

But in HAF 912 the front USB 3.0 cables were supposed to be connected to the back panel in Motherboard, which means, you have to run through the cable inside the cabinet just in order to use 3.0 & same is what is available in Enforcer.

HAF 922 or Tempest EVO - 6k Price is justified.

 

[nilgtx260]

^^ that means p67 or z68 or AM3+ chipset based mobo won't make any trouble in HAF 922 ?

wrong. Enforcer comes with on board front cable for USB3.

 

[d3p]

Most of the motherboards don't have onboard USB3 header, so whats the benefit ???

 

[shayem]

who told you?? Check P67 &Z68 mobos from asus. And some Gigabyte Z68 have them too.

There is also a game for Enforcer
::: Enforcer Eye :::

If you win they will give you a Enforcer and GX 750 and much more...

Are they saying true?

When Corsair 400R & 500R Will Be Here Their Cooling Will Defeat HAF922 & 932

 

[RocknRolla]

I like the enforcer because it has the front 3.0 usb ports and dust proof on front and bottom fans and i too have a nvidia gtx580 to put in it. My budget is upto 7k but only coolermaster and crosair. By the way who told you that the crosair 500r will be launching in india in 2 weeks but they are really looking good

 

[d3p]

Look at those Pics of Enforcer dude, you got to remove the HDD cage just in order to hook up a GTX580, if you have one or two HDD's then it fine, otherwise try something else.

 

[nilgtx260]

^^ it can hook up HD 6990 too
