    Question for clarification

    Ok so there's something I'm not getting...

    According to my logic, a full tower should be bigger than a mid tower, right? And full towers typically have better airflow because...well...they're full towers and can fit more fans/stuff...right?

    So I'm trying to decide between:

    and
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160

    CM SS dimensions- 22.3" x 10" x 21.7"
    CM HAF932 dimentions- 22.7" x 9" x 21.5"

    Is my thinking totally screwed up? How is the HAF932 larger when, according to the specs, it's .4" x -1" x -.2"?

    Hmm, that is odd.  You are correct, a full tower is bigger than a mid tower.  Those specs must be off...

    Anyway, I am the happy owner of the  tower in your second link (HAF full tower), and I must say that I really like it.  It is great for airflow with the large, quiet fans, and is ready if you ever want to upgrade to watercooling.  I highly recommend this case!

    Storm Sniper case is mid tower case and HAF932 is full tower.   full and mid tower is not very different specially these two cases because "mid is not half side of the full tower case" it might be  very close to full tower but it's still consider mid case like .9999 is not like 1.
