Any CM HAF 922 case owners I was looking to buy this case. I have had people tell me it's a quiet case and reviews telling me its a bit loud since it has so many holes from the mesh. I need this to be quiet enough so I can sleep with it on with med-max load. I was trying to look for any HAF 922 owners, so I can know for sure, but I couldn't find any and I wondered if anyone on basil has a HAF 922. I just need to know if it's quiet, how loud the fans are specifically and if you are able to sleep with it on. Idc about light from the LED fans I will add to it, I use the LED as a night light and I put a chair in front of it so most of the light is blocked and so there's enough light to produce. ~Thanks.

Why does my cpu fan run at 1800 rpm with no system load? I just built my new gaming pc today. Everything is fine, but I cannot stand the loud cpu fan. I bought a cooler master 212 evo. It's TOO LOUD. I went in the BIOS to take a look at some stuff and it told me the fan runs at 1795-1820 rpm. Is something wrong here? Do I need to do some BIOS configuration? I tried setting a few things, but it still runs at 1800 rpm. Is this normal? I am thinking to replace this fan with some sunbeam rubber silent fan. Thanks.

Please help me make my computer cooling better 1.Okay, so I had this 4 pin pwm fan for my processor, that we can say broke, and I switched it with a 3 pin case fan with no pwm. If I don't want it to overheat, I have to run it at max speed, and the sound is irritating me. If I run it at medium speed it is quiet, but I am worried it might overheat, for it stays at around 56 degrees celcius. 2. The case is the hp slimline series and it is a bad case for cooling because it is small, and the top overheats quickly, where the processor is almost near. When I touch it, it is so hot. Clearly, the case isn't good. However I need to get rid of this problem by altering my cooling. I was thinking to put my case in the horizontal position (yes it can be

need experienced pc part shoppers now I am going to order pc parts in 2-3 weeks to build my own pc. However, I came across this CHEAP 120 DOLLAR HAF 932 CASE! Should I buy it now, or wait 2-3 weeks? I understand pc parts get cheaper, but I don't think this HAF 932 case will get cheaper in 2-3 weeks. It will probably go back to 140 dollars right? Anyone know anything like this from newegg experience? This is my first time using newegg, so I am unaware as how everything went last year. Wait i have second thoughts. I don't need a full tower case, but I was buying a 115 dollar med tower case, so I thought 5 dollars more for a case like this is worth it.

Which graphics card should I get I just plan on playing steam games, MS, etc. Games like Team fortress 2, bioshock, stuff like that. I was thinking to buy a single card now and use SLI/crossfirex in a year after I buy the card. I plan on making a new system myself, so I haven't made this comp yet. I can't choose between Radeon AMD graphics cards or Nvidia graphics cards. I heard Nvidia has less driver problems, is this true? Should I go for SLI/crossfirex or is it a hassle? I am getting a sli/crossfirex mobo either way. I was planning on getting the single card now then in a year I will add the 2nd card. Some people told me to stick 2 one single card because it's good enough and when you want to do SLI/Crossfirex, there will be a better car

What are the best games I can play on a new gaming computer I'm going to build my own comp. I heard about computer gaming and how it's awesome and I am a computer enthusiast, so I think it's nice to build my own first comp. I'll list the important parts. cpu: 2nd generation i5 2500k RAM:4 GB gpu: gtx 560 ti Well that's probably all you need. People told me to get 8 GB, but 4GB is enough because im not playing 2 games at once, 4 GB is enough to play 1 game thats open. I will go to 8 GB in a year though. What resolution to you recommend me playing in as well? Thanks. I am interested in Steam games. Should I get Crysis and bioshock? :D

Please help me choose my case O Im about to build a new pc. I can't choose which case to get. I am looking at cases around 50-100 dollars. I was looking at antec v3 and the coolermaster storm scout, HAF 922. I was looking at a few full cases like the Azza Solano, but the big fan, prevents you from using aftermarket coolers. My aftermarket cooler is the CM hyper 212. Anyone know any cool looking cases that provide LOTS of airflow? Airflow and a nice front fan or 2 are my priority. I like the Antec styled cases because they provide lots of air flow and everything, but I like the storm scout and 922 as well because they look nice and provide good airflow too. Which of these cases do you recommend, or is there a better case out there? ~Thanks.

Cyber monday or black friday? I'm going to start building my new pc in a few weeks. I want to try to get some good deals from cyber monday or black friday. My #1 priority right now is getting a good deal on a case. I was wondering, how does cyber monday work? This is my first time. Do the deals come on on like at 12 AM and then I buy stuff before the deals run out? Does the stock inventory on an item run out fast on cyber monday? how should I prepare for it? Should I go to black friday or just take advantage off of cyber monday? I need some thoughts and feedback on this and if you can please tell me how I should prepare for cyber monday. I don't want to go to black friday because the good computer part stores are like 30 minutes-1 hour away
