Default antec 902 vs haf 922

IF PRICE WAS NOT AN OPTION which is the better case overall? I found a 902 case for the same price as the haf 922 (geerally the 902 is more expensive)

The 902 is black inside already, and will have somewhat slightly better airflow, but it's a lot more cramped, and the HAF's HDD mounting and cable management are far superior. The HAF has ungodly amounts of interior space for a mid tower case.

I'd get the HAF if they're the same price, personally, and just spray it black myself.

The HAF is also awesome for water cooling, but still decent for air cooling.

I have an antec 902. I love the case and it looks good but the cable management could be a bit better PLUS there is NO backplate that I can remove to mount a heatsink if I wanted to put the motherboard in.

Looking back on it I probably would have went with a haf because i'm not done modding my system and i'm going to have to take the mobo out at least another 1 - 2 times to remount the heatsink.

Antec 902.

It has a black interior, better airflow, and it just looks better in my opinion.

HAF 922 is the best mid-tower case imo.
It has great cable management, looks awesome, superb air flow.
Only thing I would change is to paint the interior.
Get the HAF
