AMD vs Intel, AMD wins price-performance, and future-proofness. Intel wins performance. Intel isn't very future-proof unless you go for LGA1366.
LGA1156 can just be gone within a few years...

Sandy Bridge, Intel's next architecture on the 32nm process, WILL NOT BE USING LGA1156. Rather, LGA1155.
So yeah, bye bye LGA1156. At least LGA1336 has a future roadmap planned out, with more 32nm Nehalem chips. Now we just have to see if that one contact difference between LGA1155 and LGA1156 will allow backward compatibility, like the case of AMD's AMD2/AM3, where AM2 has 1 more pin than AM3, which prevents its usage in AM3 sockets, but the other way is fine. So, can LGA1155 chips be used on LGA1156 boards? We have to wait and see.

The HAF932 doesn't come with dust filters...where did you get yours?
Any video showing your case? i just wanna see see xD.

Mine has dust filters automatically. So does the HAF932 and just about every CM case with meshed front panels.

I mean the intake fans...meshed front panels(with dust filters;edit) doesn't help at all.
Any intake fans without dust filters will results in dusty cases.

I mean, because there's a meshed front panel, CM puts dust filters BEHIND the meshed panels.
According to review sources, the HAF 932 doesn't come with any dust filters...even the meshed front panels.

Then sucks to be the owner of a HAF932. After six months can see cobwebs, dust bunnies and a mound of dust in the shape of your HDD.
Anyway, you can see the dust filters on my Elite 334 VERY CLEARLY in the following pic.

That's to pay for huge air flow, which is HAF xD.
Cobwebs? lol... don't exaggerate.
Your case looks so different from the one on CM website.

I found cobwebs in the my friend's HAF922. Either that, or it was an odd formation of dust.
And what's so different? Only diff I can see is that mine has a side window.

Is that a radiator or some sort at the top 3 drive bays?
It's a HDD bay with a fan in front :P
