Ditto attaching a fan to your HD cage.
I have the same HAF922. How beneficial would it to "move the top fan as far forward as I can" even though it's already 200mm?
Only if you're using the fan as intake.
In order to create a "wind tunnel" airflow effect east/west oriented and also for a better cpu cooler air feeding you're advised to do that, as much as you can, there is some room for that in your case, the 922 is pretty large

You'd have to either drill for the two front screws or use velcro for that

I prefer top intake to top exhaust. With a 912 you have the opportunity for a wind tunnel. Set the forward top position to intake. Block off the rear top fan position. Then put your DVD on the bottom 5.25 slot. Use the top 3 for a front intake fan. If the top of the 5.25 bay is not close you will have room for a 140mm front fan. With the top intake and a front intake, you will really get the air blowing back through your cpu heatsink.
Then remove all your unused slot covers.
Haha! k great stuff
and thank you for the detailed information

I don't think there is much to do with the 912's top fan for the wind tunnel since is placed in the rear top position:

Supposing you'll move the fan 2-3cm forward you still won't have not even a central intake position.
Maybe only if you use your cpu cooler north/south oriented.
You better look for the newer Haf XM for that wind tunnel opportunity

Imagine you're using the front top intake fan only (and it's not a high ceiling case)
