Both are solid cases. if you are moving your sig rig into that case, the antec 900 will have plenty of room for you and is cheaper than the haf 922. But the haf 922 is also a solid case in its own right and if you ever do decide to go watercooling you wont have to mod it much.
PS what type of mods are you planning on doing? If it is cable management mods, I would go with the antec 900, it is pretty much a clean slate. If it is exterior modding it is a toss up between the two since both have spaces you wont be able to mod much on as well as the large top fans that might get in your way.

I had this choice before and I went with the 922 because it has quieter (200mm vs the Antec's 2 x 120) and has the option for another 200mm fan on the side,where the antec only has space for a 120mm.Both have top mounted 200mm fans
I would go with the 922,hope this helps

The HAF 922 has slightly better airflow than the antec 900. And when i say slightly, i mean it is pretty my negligable.
Another case you might want to look at is the CM 690. It is a great air flow case, has good amount of room in it, and good cable management.
I love my Antec 900 though, i cable management modded it though. I have a pic of it in my signature. Although i need to update it since I moved to a quad core processor, put in 2 more hd's (going to raid 0 when i have time) and also did push/pull on my TRUE.

Antec 902 will better airflow. The front fan on the 922 is slow and all the air coming from the front is lost from the HDD bay.

The 900 seems to sit it's drive bays up the front,like the 922.I dont see how having a few small pieces of metal will effect the airflow THAT much

The HAF 922 is potentially much better. The 900/902 may be better at default configuration.

I can make an additional suggestion. Have a look at the Cooler Master Storm Scout. Looks to be very solid.
The two cases I personally would choose from are the Antec 902 and the Storm Scout. I just don't like the HAF case line I guess

I agree with you there,the HAF has it's fans (me included) but I can even agree that the Storm Scout looks better,I would have bought it if it didn't cost 200 euro

I would go with a 900.
Design, layout and the full 5.25 front mounts are my preferable choice for a mid tower. but the cm case has a cpl good arguments to it for sure. but the two coolermaster cases i had so far, both were flimsy and noisy. so the 900 would be my pick for that aspect as well

solid construction.
down to the point. each case has pros and cons, if your goin to mod. take a look at the mods done to the cases your looking into. and decide upon what you are going for.
