Can't decide between these two cases

COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

I know what you're thinking, one is a full tower and the other a mid tower. I never plan on having more than on GPU and no more than 2 or 3 HDDs. The reason why I can't decide is because the 932 has the side panel fan. That's the only reason why it's driving me crazy...do I need the side fan or not???

Also, how come the 922 has no reviews on the egg? Is it a new case?

I do plan on OC the CPU, but not the GPU, so this makes me think I don't need the side fan?
 
The blue 922 is a new model that comes with a window instead of a side fan.
I see no reason not to go for the 932. Better cooling, more room for cable management.
 
I like the way the 932 looks better than the 922. It looks like there is more room too.
 
If you've never going to go with more than one gpu then you don't need a full tower.
Consider one of these instead. CM Storm Sniper Black Edition. All black interior is nice too.

You don't really need a side fan. It helps but I don't think it helps that much unless you mount a high CFM fan that makes more noise.
Also take a look at the NZXT phantom. It's got what appears to be 3 fans on the side if you really want to get things cool.

I have the 932 and I love it!! I also only have one GPU, doubt I'll ever have two either, and I've got two HDD's. I may put a third HDD in later on, but that's about it. The cable management is simply awesome in my opinion, as is the air flow. I'm still only on an AM2 dual core, but that will change in a couple months after I get home from my little TDY. Oh, and I might also add, I used to have a Thermotake Armor with the same components in it that I have now, and I gotta say, I was blown away at how much lighter the HAF 932 is to pick up even with everything in it. I don't feel like I'm breaking my back anymore, if that's important to you. It is still heavy, just not as bad as the Armor was.

Speaking oif the 922, we have another system at home that's used mainly for email, paying bills and light gaming if at all. I've decided since I like the 932 so much, I'm going to replace the Antec 900 it currently sits in with the 922.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my opinions with you, hope it helps in your decision! :D
 
Got a 922 for my wife a couple months back and now that I need a new computer I just ordered another one for myself. Had plenty of room for me just depends on what you want to do though.
