Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Evo

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

How is it possible for someone to compare so many cases without using them?

Anyways I will do my part by showing you some pics from my build with the Tempest Evo.

Sarath Your Case is Beauty But Cable Management Sucks..........

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Lian-Li ones will do fine, even the K62 and other cases too. Your requirements???

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Excellent Cooling, High Profile Heatsink, Good Cable Management, Spacious Case,etc

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

In that case get either HAF X [10k] or 932 [8.5k] or even NZXT Phantom will do fine.

BTW Phantom is available at Primeabgb for 8.4k.

If cable management concerns your more then get CM Storm Sniper [9k i guess].

What your budget ????

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

5K-6K

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

get CM 690 II advanced..its a REALLY GOOD cabinet!!

Review: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Case Review

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

HAF 922 or 912 Advanced. Even you can consider Storm Scout, but 690 II is better.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

For 5-6k, K63 is out of contention. So is HAF 922. Now the choice comes down to the rest of the four. If you can increase your budget and doesn't care about looks, I would say K63. Its the best of the lot.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

1+ to skud.

BTW if you add up another odd 1k to it, probably you can afford a Corsair Graphite/Black 600T Mid Tower at 7k.

well, Cable management in Tempest Evo is good but Sarath hasn't done it properly.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

I've decided these two Lian Li PC-K62 & CM 690 II Advanced now which i will get depends on availability.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Suddenly I feel like I am getting a bit crowded.

I was in a same position like you, and in my case, height of the cabinet settled the issue.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

see the attachment guys

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

i would say, CM 690 II Advanced

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

CM HAF 942 beats all the cases that you have mentioned.

I am not keeping myself updated these days, but HAF 942???

Can you give us a link please?

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

^^ dude its haf932....typo errors are posible so try ignoring them.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Seriously, I was thinking that's a newer model. In any case, I think 932 is way out of OP's budget.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

HAF 942 is HAF X which is way above op's budget!!

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Yeah, did a google search and get it. Thanks.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

HAF 942 is HAF X. I did not consider the budget of OP. I merely wanted OP to take a look at functionality so that he can get a good idea of what he is looking for in a cabinet that he wants to buy. Budget is an important factor, but knowledge is even more important before making an investment. So please do not tell me that I posted something that is irrelevant.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Nobody's telling its irrelevant, in current context it's unimportant. If anybody thinks he is going to have all the features of HAF X in a smaller package and lesser price, then probably its not going to happen.

But HAF X is one hell of a cabinet!!!

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

skud u didnt give yor verdict on my list

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Couldn't get you, which list??

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

^^post 17

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Not as good as the cabbies listed by OP.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Which is better of these three?
1. NZXT Tempest Evo
2. CM 690 II Advanced
3. Lian Li PC-K62

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

I will vote for NZXT Tempest Evo.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

All are good in their own way. If height is not a concern, CM probably packs more features than others, like the HDD dock. For absolute quality, you probably can't go wrong with any Lian-Li. 8 PCi slot means 3 dual slot graphics cards can be put without much fuss. Tempest EVO looks the best of the lot and with bulging side panel, cable management should be a cakewalk.

Take your pick. You can't go wrong with any cabinet that you have short-listed.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

I just voted for CM HAF 922
the NZXT Tempest Evo is a very good cabby as well

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Skud You're confusing me tell me which has best cooling & supports noctua nh-d14.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

^^ All three can house the nh-D14. Go for th tempest-evo imo.

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Then K62. D14 is a tight fit in CM 690 II. And regarding tempest EVO, this is what I found:-

NZXT Tempest Evo + Noctua NH-D14

For K62, here's one link:-

Noctua NH-D14 Question (PC-K62 owners please!) - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Instead of 912, Storm Enforcer is good with it asthetic and interior and also cheaper than 912

Re: Lian Li PC-K63 vs PC-K62 vs CM 690 II Adv vs HAF 912 Adv vs HAF 922 vs Tempest Ev

Welcome to TDF. It's a tossup between 690 II adv, K62 and tempest EVO, buddy, 912 is not in picture.

@Geek-With-Lens:
