When we move downwards a little we spot the HDD drive bay. You can insert up-to five HDDs in there and even a sixth of you place one in the 5.25" bay which can be converted to 3.5" with the help of two metal shims you'll receive with the chassis. BTW have a peek at the huge 200mm fan to the right, it's an intake fan and when activated, it emits a red light,

Here we can see the HDD tray mounts, again tool free. You push in a pin (covered in rubber) into each HDD hole and then it's secure + resting in rubber to prevent resonating. Great design, though I do like to point out to manufacturers the importance of storage for 2.5" SSD drives. Currently there are hardly any options for that, same here. And with the growing popularity of SSD this is really something chassis designers need to start implementing.

Okay, we have fired up the chassis. All fans are activated and the check out the coolness that the HAF 922 really is. Noise wise if all fans are rotating at 100% you you'll reach a DBa level of roughly 42~43. If you'd use a fan controller or PWM control them through the motherboards BIOS at say 50%, you'd still have excellent airflow and a nearly inaudible chassis.

One last photo of the chassis. Again, once activated it really looks gorgeous with the black / red theme going on there. Obviously style and taste are two different things. Some will like the design, some dislike.
