So this october/november Im going to be building two computers. One for my girlfriend and one for myself. I'm going for the Haff 922 and she chose the Element G. Both are comperable in airflow and features. But I was curious what you guys think is a better case in features, build quality, performance, value, and style. To me both cases are both really nice. I'm going to put a pole, please post putting your reasoning behind it. I will accept "[case name here] got no games" as an answer. 
The Haf 922 is on another level, the element G looks straight ugly and it didn't take me long to think that.Â
But the one thing that really bothers me about both of the cases is that stupid company emblem in the front bottom of the front bezel. Make's it look cheap n tacky.
[color=#ffcc00][b]Ratings:[/b][/color]
[color=#00ccff][b]Features[/b][/color] - Haf 922 - Has 2 usb ports which take 1 usb header on your mobo with an eSATA port & audio ports vs Element G's 4 usb ports that take up 2 usb headers w/audio jacks.Â
They both lack firewire ports on the top panel but the 922 leaves 1 usb header free for a card reader for mobos with only 2 to spare and gives you an eSATA for quick data backups.
[color=#00ccff][b]Build quality[/b][/color] - Haf 922 - They both look part steel & part plastic, but out of the 2 the Haf looks a lot more solid.
[color=#00ccff]Performance[/color] - Haf 922 - Has more ventilation, has a fan in the front, top, back & ability to add an extra to the side.Â
While the element G comes with fans on the side, top, back (or front, side back, they don't specify) Ability to add one in the front or wherever it's missing. The advantage the G has is being able to add 2 extra small outtake fans on the back.
[color=#00ccff][b]Value [/b][/color]- Haf 922 - [color=#ffcc00][b]Haf 922 = [color=#00ff00]$100[/b][/color][/color][b] [/b]while looking more expensive vs [color=#ff6600][b]Element G = [color=#00ff00]$145[/b][/color][/color][b] [/b]when it looks like a $60 case.
[color=#00ccff]Style[/color] - Haf 922 - Should take you no more then 3 seconds to figure out which looks better, the Haf 922 looks at least unique in design but not as good as it's full tower brother.Â
The only thing the G has on the 922 is the black paint inside the case!
If you want to add in another good mid-tower case into the equation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0hwk0Dd3Og&feature=channel_page
I see no reason whatsoever in going for the haf 922, atleast go for the big version. If youre going small case or midi, go antec.
Or a great choice is the coolermaster storm scout, it's really cheap and got some REALLY good features
Never been a fan of the HAF's .. It looks like a cheap bunch of plastic with huge overkill fans.
Don't know bout the Element G tho.. First time seeing it now
Element aint got shit d00d.
HAF 922 is the better case in Performance and build Quality but I do not like the styling of the HAF 932 or 922.
