Cooler Master CM690 Nvidia Ed. ATX Case SLI Ready

Comment:
Finally a case that has good ventilation but did not ventilate my wallet. I recently upgraded my CPU to a 125w from a 65w. My previous case was a disater. It harbored so much heat and was so poorly ventilated I knew I was going to have problems with the new chip and heat dispersion. This case is great. I added another lighted fan at the bottom of the case for extra measure. The only gripe I have was with installing my power supply. There are vents under the power supply to for intake but my psu fit awkwardly when I placed it fan down. My PSU is a ULTRA LS 650.

Well I love the room this case has in it. It is a lot bigger that the standard mid size case. It was hard to get the front of the case off you just have to be patient. The fans aren't that great in it 2 of them don't light up. But for the price that you pay for the case and the free shipping ats well I will not complain. Cable management is poor and well it was an easy mod to add my own. Great Case Great Buy the best they have to offer. It gets my 5 star rating out of all of their cases.

I have had this case for about 4 months now, and it is amazing! lots of room inside, soo many spots for fans, durable and solid construction, and easy to put together! I love this case! If you are looking for a very sturdy case with lots of room, and amazing cooling, this is it!

The case is very roomy and nicely built. All tooless functions work well. I'm using four 120 mm green LED fans plus the fan on the PS, of course. The fans and the green LEDs make the system really COOL! The only distraction is the red eSATA cable. I wanted the system to be just black and green. Ah well. Please note: to remove the front panel, I had to give it a HARD, quick yank.

This case breaths real well. keeps my system cool without question.

Got this for a computer build for my girlfriend. Case was lightweight, spacious, and easy to work with. The front was a bit difficult to get off at first but after a couple of tries it was pretty good.

Beautiful Special Green. Excellent Case Lots Of Extra Space!

I love this case, it was easy to install everything. Lots of room for big hands. I wish the front panel had some LED's to spice it up but it's still a great value. The fans supplied with the case are nice. I added 2 more 120mm fans. I had a very large video card and it fit with no problem. The cable management that comes with the case isnt very good but cable ties did the trick.

I ordered this as a replacement for a tower I ordered over a year ago, just because I found it's aesthetics were very low after purchasing. This tower has tons of room and it's super sexy! I have a HUGE CPU Heatsink, A GeForce GTS 250 GPU, 2 DVD Drives, 3 hard-drives, and lots of other large items and still have LOTS OF ROOM! Did I mention this baby is a real beauty with it's green led fans in the front, and the nVIDIA Logo on the front. There's lots of room for additional fans, beyond the 3 that are included. I have really no complaints, other than the front logo could not be found, till I tipped the unit over, and peeled it off the bottom!

I was looking for plenty of space and I got it. This case has lots of room for whatever you want to throw in it. The hard drive brackets are nice, all the screws you need are stored on the side of the case, and you get 7 fan slots. Its a nice looking case, too. The only thing I didnt like was the cable

Comment:
This case is great, it runs quiet and is blowing out cold air most of the time. The drive bays are great, I love the clips they sit in, it makes it really easy to switch things around. Also it looks really nice, its not a case where the image is made to look better than the case really is. Overall, when I ordered this I was very excited to get a nice looking, good quality case with all the features I needed, and I wasn't at all let down.

Great Case. Keeps every thing Super Cool. LOTS of Room.

Comment:
This case exceeded my expectations with its quality alone. Having the power supply mounted in the bottom of the case reduces case temps drastically. The airflow in this is superb! The case is large enough even for the largest of graphics cards, too! (I have two GTX 280's) I would definitely recommend this case!!

I found this case to be a little annoying to work with but overall I am more than satisfied.. Taking the front cover off the case is very difficult and the power and restart buttons are kind of stupid but those are really the only complaints... it looks amazing and it comes with 3 very decent fans and space for many more A lot of room and very stylish I would recommend

This is my second case and like the room for the large 2 Nivida cards-they fit with no problems , also the 3 big fans that come included seems to keep everything cooler and power supply fit in bottom of case which takes away the cable clutter away from MB. I give case a 5 star

This is my third CM690 case. That says it all. I have big hands and this case has alot of room to work with. It's a great value and very sturdy to boot. I've looked at alot of different cases to compare their differences. Cooler Master should make this case their flag ship case. I'm planning on buying another some time in the near future.

Comment:
Overall, this case is quite good. Plenty of space for large GPUs, CPU coolers, and etc. Also has plenty of space behind the motherboard tray to tuck away the wires. However, the brackets are somewhat useless. It was cleaner to just take them out and tuck the wires somewhere else. Also taking out the front feels like you are breaking the case in two (not kidding). Other than that, it cools my E8400 at 35C to 45C with the STOCK COOLER (with lots of fans everywhere).

Comment:
No complaints, things stay cool, plenty of room. Great value.

Comment:
perfect choice for gamers, value is awesome, not a full tower but a lot of room nonetheless, you don't need more than this unless you are a maniac. fits up to seven fans which keeps it very very cool. my system temperature is in low twenties at idle, great air flow... plus it's water cooling ready if you want to go crazy

Comment:
this case is by far the best case i have ever owned. it looks great, its solid, lots of space, everything goes in easy and i love the cable management system. only problem i have, and its a very very small problem. is that the toolless fan holder at the bottom, isnt for a 120mm i tried putting my 120mm in there and the clips are way to big. but other than that this case is ungodly awesome.

Comment:
Great case, space for all my components and plenty of slot for fans.

I just built an i7 rig using this case and it is phenomenal. Plenty of airflow and locations to install extra fans. I picked up an extra coolermaster 120mm and 80mm (for behind the CPU) for this and my i7 920 idles between 25-27 degrees, up to 32 under load at stock clock. A couple things to mention, the cable management brackets UNSCREW. No need to tear them out. I installed a BFG GTX 280 card in this case and I had to remove one of the brackets to get the card to fit properly (the bracket was pushing slightly against the back of the card and bending over). Another thing to look out for is the cables running through the brackets may obscure your SATA ports a bit if your mobo has side-mounted SATA connectors (like EVGA x58). Not a huge problem as there's plenty of room to move cables around inside the brackets to compensate.

This is my 2nd Case for my gaming rig, and I am quite Impressed. Very nice looking, and lots of room inside. Included fans are quiet. Added fans can make it fairly loud unless you get some gaskets. Bottom fan mount is kinda bent so pulling air in through there might cause it to rub against the center of the fan making a scratching noise. A gasket to separate the surfaces helps. I'd recommend a Modular power supply, or else in this case you are gonna get a crapload of wire clutter. I had to shove my cables in the drive bays. Mounting hard drives in can be confusing at first, but once you figure out how they go in, it is a breeze, very nice. Cools quite well, keeps my GeForce 9800GT SLI Setup cool. My MCP is quite warm, though unlikely the fault of the case. I am happy with the case and would recommend it. PS: DO NOT BREAK OFF OR BEND THE CABLE ROUTING CLIPS LIKE SOME IDIOTS ARE DOING, THEY CAN SIMPLY BE UNSCREWED.

This is an excellent case! It's heavy (sturdy), it looks great, ventilation everywhere, the fans that are included are really quiet, and it has tons of room. The only nit I have is the power and reset buttons. They are on the front right curved side and are difficult to find in low lighting. Really a minor issue. I would buy this again in a heartbeat!

lots of room everything fits, only problem is the cable management system got in the way of my sata ports on 790i mobo. and my geforce 285 i had to remove one of the clip thingys to have it fit normally but thats no big deal just simply unscrew it. when they say everything is toolless they mean it the only thing i used tools for was my mobo and power supply even the expansion slots are tool less
