Pros:
The two large 200mm fans,
Roomy design (seriously consider whether the HAF-932 may just be too big),
Easily removeable HDD bays,
Tool-less optical bays and side panels.
Cons:
No hot-swappable drive bays,
Only one 200mm fan is red-led,
PSU covers some of the bottom mounting holes if you wanted to install a fan on the bottom of the case.
This case is almost perfect, however the lack of hot-swappable drive bays knocks it down from a perfect score.

For the smaller of the two cases (HAF-932 being considered a full tower) the HAF-922 is still very roomy inside and the ability to manage all cables is great for air-flow, which is abundant due to the front 200mm red-led fan and the top mounted 200mm fan.

I chose to install a water cooling unit, therefore the rear fan is only 90mm which is only designed to cool down the LCLC120 radiator.

The HDD bays are a nice touch, almost feeling like they are hot swappable as they easily remove by unclipping the front of the tray and they slide on out.
