The HAF 922 supports:
Front 200mm (Intake)
Side 200mm (Intake)
Top 200mm (Exhaust)

And by the far the best 200mm fan I can find is the CoolerMaster Storm Force.
It is rated to push 142 CFM @ 23dBA

The Antec BigBoy pushes 134 CFM @ 30dBA, so CoolerMaster wins hands down...

If you can't get the 200mm Storm Force, the 200mm Megaflow is also a good option.
it pushes 110CFM @ 19dBA.

I have 2 of the Megaflows and they are very quiet at full speed, only the air is heard to move, no whine or whoosh from motor or blades.

/Thread

::EDIT::
If you look on the CMStorm site, it says that the Force 200mm LED is just for the Sniper case, but I'm sure you could make it work for the 922, it just wouldn't have LED/Speed control like it says.
If this is a problem, as I said before just get the Megaflow 200mm.

Yeah actually I have three of the Megaflows (top, side, and front). And I'm thinking on upgrading to 2 Storm Force (side and front) and 1 Antec Big Boy (for the fact that it is ball-bearing which can be used horizontally without any problems unlike the Sleeve bearings of the Storm Force).

Also, I've heard that the 23dBA rating of the Storm Force is, as usual, crap specifications by CM.

Honestly, I take New Egg reviews with a grain of salt. Your better off relying on site reviews. Plus, this fan size is relatively new for the case market. So the fans just suck in general. I would rely more on your 120's for cooling. Even a lot of the 140's are not that great.

So do you recommend I just stick with my 200mms OR replace them with 120mms?

You could get more airflow with some high perf 120mm's, but you'd be adding some seriousness noise to the case.

Stick with the 200mm's you have or get the better 200mm's if noise is a concern, other wise you could change all for 120mm's and get more airflow.

Well I can tell you my case came with 2 140's. I removed one that was the intake and I yanked my other 120 stock. I replaced them all with R4's. My case temp dropped considerably. Even if you can find a 200 that's decent, it wont have decent static pressure, which will trump cfm every time. If it were me, I would go with decent 120's. When it comes to air cooling, you're gonna have to put up with a little noise to get the cooling you want. Mine is by no means terrible, but you can definitely hear it.

Ok. Now the problem is the high shipping cost to our country of those big fans I couldn't get any of them locally.

Got any family/friends going/coming overseas that could bring them in?

Overseas shipping on those large fans is daylight rape...

Not as of the moment

One Storm Force in PPCS would cost me $22 shipping, sigh...
