Looks awesome, fan expandability, effortless to tuck wires, nice front panel. My only complaint is that for some explanation my Front Panel sound hookups don't operate. My motherboard understands they are there but when i plug some thing in, practically nothing occurs. Can't complain.

Comment:
My CPU temps dropped 10 C and challenging drives run at 29 C.Cable Management is wonderful, and the capacity to access the heatsink backplate by removing the right side panel makes installing an aftermarket heatsink simple simply because of the no mobo removal necessary! Placing the suitable side panel on is tricky, and I nonetheless haven't gotten it on all the way, but I don't care as well significantly. To the reader who stated the light on his fan did not work, there is a button at the leading of the case to turn it on and off, which is good.

Good paint job for true and I consider it is thicker then the steel, a decent quantity of area to place stuff, considerably superior then anything with AZZA on it low cost fans, poor EMF containment, too large to be with out wheels, no exterior locks to secure my componentsit is nevertheless a extremely simple case, practically nothing all that particular other then it is a excellent water cooling case if you want the headachemy heat sink prevented me from installing a fan in the side panel. Big case, ah, properly not massive in that category, its just maybe a major case I want I bought the superior 690 case, this case is much better then the old 690 caseIs there such a issue as a excellent case ?

-Clean and smooth appear. Not more than-the-top, but nonetheless stylish-HDD mounting is great-5.25 tooling mount performs like a charm-The inside is huge. A lot of space for a number of gpu's of any type. Enjoy the black finish on the interior. Plenty of areas to mount extra fans.-Cable management is exactly where this case really stands out from the other folks at this price point. -Air flow If I wanted to be petty, then possibly the case only coming with two fans. I wouldn't really call that a con although because they could actually justify placing a higher value tag on this with the all round quality of the case. You just have to see it...Amazing I also have an @ntec 900(which IS a good case), and the CM 690 II out-shines the 900 in everyway. I took one look after transferring my components more than to the 690 II from my 900 and was in complete awe more than the distinction. The CM 690 II proved to be superior in each and every way, from it's smooth however stylish look on the outside, to it's superior space and cable management on the inside.This case gives you the appear and feel of a 赨 case at a Incredibly budget friendly price tag. Unless you're searching for a full tower, you can't go incorrect with the 690 II.

The CM690 II Simple is a strong, fantastic-searching case. Even with only 2 fans, heat isn't a big situation for typical gamers mainly because it's mesh design permits a good airflow, and the case help up to ten fans.I chose this case for it's clean style and my practical experience with it couldn't be much better, installing the components was really easy (considering that it was my first time assembling a Computer) and the cable management is superb. Also, the tool-significantly less drive bays, the dust filters and the LED fan on/off button are some good features that will make any computer builder pleased. - A lot more added fans would have made this case a should buy, but well I guess that the Simple version had to have... a basic fan quantity...- Euh... That's it... If you're hunting for a excellent excellent case for an cost-effective price, get this a single, you wont be disappointed. Or get the sophisticated version, which is even far more comprehensive.

Comment:
Nicely produced, exceptional ventilation, rich appear. I have bought many of these. The last one (last month) had a dead brief on the external usb port board. I had currently constructed the pc for a buyer so I took the exchanged the board with one particular from a surveillance server I had in the field so I could deliver the laptop and get paid. This is my first DOA from CoolerMaster and would be a minor challenge if I could get a replacement board. Can't uncover a source for repair/replacement portion. The manuals tell you to take it back to the retailer exactly where you purchased it. I couldn't afford the time to send the whole case back to Newegg so now I have on devoid of external ports. The lack of a supply for replacement components will almost certainly trigger me to cease getting CoolerMaster instances, power supplies, and so on. Hey CoolerMaster what were you considering?

Great case, haven't had any challenges, cools items nicely with low noise, blue lights look cool, buttons on the top are straightforward to perform with, and hard drive set up was quite straightforward, along with the cd drive. Purchased three fans with is and weren't capable to fit all of them, problem with both the fans lack of screws and the circumstances weird placement IMO Definitely a very good case, perhaps ill retry the complete fan point sometime quickly.

Fan placements, challenging drive and power supply orientations, tool-free of charge maintenance, cable management all wrapped in solid black. It's large enough for every thing I will need. I like the top mount usb where I charge my phone. Good feet for stability. Nicely thought out all round. Having difficulty removing the top rated to place in a fan I had planned there. I maintain obtaining out my screwdriver when I want to fool with it and then I have to place it down due to the fact I don't need to have it. In my previous case, I ran with 1 side off and I would by no means have felt comfortable overclocking. With a few additional fans (no water) I've got a quieter quicker method and I can fiddle with it whenever I want.It's a good factor that my power provide has extended cables so I can snake them up and around the backside.

Wow... There are so many pros to list place I'm not going to place down each single one of them. This case has a huge room to match a regular atx with no problem. It has cable management features, large VGA's, and and lots of future expansions. You can install up to 5 fans and it has fan filters. Make positive you have a huge extention 8 pins power cord because it's a extended reach when the psu is positioned on the bottom. Luckily my was lengthy adequate. This is the case that I often wanted simply because I like the appear of it and its features. My uncle was really generous and got me this case for my birthday. This case has a totally free shipping when he purchased this and it got delivered a day earlier than anticipated. Thanks Newegg for the rapid shipping!!

Gorgeous case, tons of air movement, black guts. Cable management is really very good. The sophisticated version has a couple of benefits such as the hot swappable hdd port but I wouldn't use it, so meh. Also Cooler Master gives you these plastic fan mounting pins, worst style ever. Black screws would be good and a pony. I told my Wife that if she turned off the front led someplace a bunny dies.

Comment:
Lots of space for most recent VGA cards, PSUs, etc. Effectively laid out. No sharp edges. Black painted inside is nice. Additional areas for fans than is even needed. Water cooling ready. The case actually is great, just be confident you know what you are receiving - the standard, not the sophisticated. I docked two eggs for advertising and marketing and client service - see under. Not only does it not come with a front five.25 to three.five" bay adapter and respective trim bezel (as most fantastic instances do), it truly is not clear to me that it does not come with this standard item. I think about this a excellent case, but come on Cooler Master! A bay adapter goes for about three bucks at the neighborhood pc shack, and I imagine the trim bezel is not considerably additional. This should be included in any modern case as most customers are going to install a card reader.CM store does not have service parts proliferated!! They can make the circumstances, but can't look to get a supply of components on hand for separate purchase. Poor, negative, bad. More on this below... I bought two CM690II cases within about a month of each and every other. I really did not comprehend that there was an "Advanced" and a "Basic" offered. The second one I bought, this 1, turned out to be a Simple. Is it my fault for not realizing there are two versions? Positive it is. Is it actually that obvious without having completely going over the specifics? Not actually. The two are extremely similar and at initial glance they actually are not distinguished very nicely. It was not a massive deal as most of the "Advanced" features are gee-wiz things that I actually wouldn't use anyway except for the above mentioned drive bay adapter which appears standard on quite a few great cases these days. CM buyer assistance is non-responsive. I had to submit an eRMA to get any interest, and voluntueered to spend for these parts even believed I think CM must send them out of fantastic will considering that I bought two instances. The response is they are available by way of the CM shop but out of stock. Hold checking back for availability. Good.

I've owned many quite a few distinct brands of circumstances prior to. But this sucker is worth far more than the Eighty dollar price tag tag. I honestly can't consider of an additional box in this price range that outperforms this factor. Being capable to route the extended wires behind the motherboard from my Silverstone PSU was effortless and very spacious. The black interior offers it that added oompf. Oh and I Really like the reality you can turn off that horrible blue fan light. Ugh. I guess I wish it would have come with more than just the 2 fans, but I am nit-picking. For this price tag you can't get a much better item.

This case appears excellent. It is roomy inside too. All my cables run behind the motherboard which tends to make it look nice and is fantastic for airflow. I also like that the rubber feet on the bottom lift the tower off of the floor. This permits the PSU to suck in cool air from underneath. I was a tiny worried about the quality of this case when ordering it (had to fit within a spending budget) due to the fact my other case is twice the price tag but it turned out to be wonderful! This is my preferred case now. The front panel has a neat searching wire mesh. The boring searching DVD Burner messes up the sleek appear of this case. My other case has a front door on it that hides these issues. Lots of room for my ASUS P7P55D EVO motherboard and HIS H465FT1GH Radeon HD 4650 video card.

NONE- I bought this case as part of a package deal, didn't truly will need a case, but it was element of the deal, the motherboard doesn't fit in properly, hence it shorts out, first I thought I had energy provide difficulty, wrong, if I place the motherboard in so it doesn't quick out, the devices that require to pluf in the back don't line up, got the energy to work. beginning put on an OS and it's DOA once more... who would of believed a case could be build so poorly? the design and style to drive bay design and style is the dummest point I've ever noticed. you can't plug something in, the plugs are on the inside of the mounts???? so what if you have lots of bays. My guess now the plugs into the front panel, may have a thing to do with it shorting out? but I'm just going to throw it away and start out over.

- Fantastic price tag for what you get- Ginormous upgradibility element- Excellent appears of you like rounded black, mesh styles- Really simple to operate with - Side Panels a small flimsy but I don't think they would in fact bend- Manual is useless Coming from an ULTRA case, what actually amazed me is the quality of this case.

- Fantastic to look at- Quiet and spacious- Great capabilities- Straightforward to perform with and well-made (see CONS) - Particularly static-sensitive, to the point of getting UNUSABLE. I have been struggling for nearly 7 months with this chassis, but I've finally had it. I signed in to express how very frustrated I am with this case, and to advise other folks to stay clear.This is a really hard critique for me to create. By all implies, I adore CoolerMaster. I have frequently utilised CM instances for individual and customer builds in the past. Indeed, this is the initial CM case that I have ever had any difficulties with. In addition, CM customer service was definitely great and has sent me replacement components (top bezel).This case is, to the point of becoming unusable, so incredibly sensitive to static that I am at my wit's finish. By merely touching he exterior of the case or plugging in a USB drive or audio headset, I can make the laptop restart. I have attempted several component configurations (motherboards/power supplies).I have tried multiple anti-static options, but nothing appears to work.

This is a truly good case, large and spacious, top quality constructed, feels sturdy, quite good cooling, adequate space for a large after market cooler (Cooler Master Hyper N520) and a big video card (GTX 560 Ti). Cool looking neon light on front with an on/off swith. I genuinely can't feel of any. I got mine at a retail retailer close to my home (same value), bought the rest of my components off newegg.
