if i can come up with 10 buck i will because i love that case.

I like the Zalman's looks way more than the HAF 922... but if you're talking straight performance & features, the HAF 922 will kick the **** out of it.

How is the HAF 922 not good? As far as I know it's an excellently solid case with some good features. That Zalman also looks nice. Not everyone wants to spend over $100 on a case, I know I wish I didn't. You don't get any kind of performance increase from a case, but you can with the money you save by getting a "budget" one. That said, I know having a quality case does make things a whole lot easier. Hopefully he'll be able to find quality within his budget if he does decide to get a new one.

Never said the 922 was bad, sorry if that wasnt clear. I meant all the cases that were suggested within the price point the OP gave. you can NOT get a case worth buying for under $70 except for the CM590 (which the op has rejected due to lack of window).

that said I have nothing against the 922, its just that the $100 made it not fall into my classification of "all these cases"

at 79.99 OP should definitely buy it

This guy has a CM690 II for $70 shipped. I know it doesn't have a window, but ask anyone that owns this case if they have any problems with it. I have heard nothing but good feedback on both the original CM690 and the CM690 II.

That is a good deal.

Oh, and this guy here at TPU has a NZXT Tempest for sale. I would grab it up if I had the cash.
