Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:Non
Pros:BIG case, can fit up to 10 fans, fits standard ATX, micro ATX, and can fit all those huge video cards. Even a hard drive reader!! You just slip it in on top! Comment:
I've been doing a LOT of researching and browsing around for the best case for you buck and this is it. Comes with a tone of features! Even a VGA video card holder so it doesn't put stress on the motherboard. And it's design was ment for circulation and air flow. Though one thing, dont put ur coffee on top. I'm not joking, a drop can go right through it cause it has a bunch of holes for air flow. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:No window.
Pros:Good cable management options.SATA dockFairly cheap Comment:
Bought this case to replace an Antec 900 that I could not stand anymore because of the trouble when switching hard drives and abysmal cable management. I don't miss it at all! At first I was looking for much more expensive cases like the 650D, HAF X, Raven 2-E. Then I tumbled on this case: easy hard drive swap, 2 SSD support, great cooling, tool-less, good cable management. Great price with price match. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:5.25" bay need to have rubber insulation against fast spinning DVD/BluRay drive (the quick lock alone is not enough)No side fanNo firewire port
Pros:Extra screwsIncluded good selection of accessoriesOn/Off front LED light Comment:
Nowadays, there are just too many websites that are getting free stuff, to write good reviews for the product they got for free. Lots of reviews on the web for this case already so I'll keep my experience to a few sentences. Black oxide motherboard screws in a separate bag (extra left over). Two stand-off-hole-fix and case speaker, zip ties, power supply filter, 4 plastic revits*. To me just those accessories alone won me over Antec any day. The downside for me is the 5.25" bay doesn't have any anti-vibration from fast spinning DVD drive. Quick release are nice but doesn't hold the drive tight in place. Had two screws on the opposite side, still isn't enough. Hence, produce vibration when drive spinning to their max speed. Would love to buy more plastic revits (can't seem to find them anywhere, found short one not long like these) as they are work really well with Yate Loon D12BL-12-UB 120MM UV Blue LED Fan (wouldn't buy those fan anymore FYI). |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:No quick release for the side panels. No fan controller ( but to be expected at this price point).
Pros:Great set up for cable management( Adequate room behind the motherboard tray), CPU cutout for heat-sink install,Tool free drive bays, great air flow and a variety of options for fan installation,External SSD mount adds bling factor (Despite probably not being the most practical solution). Comment:
Bought this case to build a rig for a friend after reading many positive reviews and comparing it to other cases in the same price range. Not the quietest case but it is meant to for gaming and for airflow ( Most definitely not the loudest case either). Probably one of the best cases out there besides 200$ plus Silverstone cases. Picked the basic model over the Corsair Obsidian for my personal build. |

Cons:The paint on the thumbscrews do come off after using your fingers to remove.
Pros:Cheap costQuality quite good Comment:
Case is quite cheap in cost, but appears to be very good in quality. No major complaints with it. Only a minor issue with the thumbscrews in the back used to hold the side covers on...the black paint tend to rub off after undoing/doing up the screws once. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:
Top sata port a little flimsy
Pros: Cable Management, Airflow and easy assembly. Comment:
This case was a pleasure to work with. Installed all my hardware and the cable management was a breeze. To make changes to hardware is easy compared to the Antec 900. The only area of concern is the top hard drive bay, if the drive is slid out properly the connectors won't break, so be careful. I would buy again for other builds. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:
Would be nice if it were a few inches shorter for those that do not need a full sized case, but want the features of this case.
Pros: Price, quality, size, customizable (inside), appearance Comment:
I replaced an old case with this one due to bad airflow and vibration. All I can say is that I would buy it again if needed, perhaps for a friend or family member looking for an upgrade.Lots of room to play inside, but I do not use more than 1 5"drive bay, so it would be nice if they made a shorter version. |

Cons:
better screen mesh could be used for dust filtration, no front panel firewire
Pros: Well priced when on sale and pm'd Comment:
This is a decent case especially for the price when pm'd under at the 80 mark. Lots of room, I sold off a HAF932, just personally to big and heavy and I did not need all the room.I lik the tooless features and cable mgmt, enough hd bays and optical bays, would be nice to see a firewire on front panel, overall I like this case and was worth the price paid. looks better than haf932 as well |

Cons:
hard to snap the hard drive tray onto the hdds
Pros: Great cooling, Nice size, lots of fan/cooling options Comment:
For under 100$, this case is fantastic. The interior space and layout is just amazing for airflow and the tool-less design makes putting in new devices easy. It has a inch or two of space behind the motherboard backplate which is great to hide cables. Looks so clean.Highly recommend this case for a midtower |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:
Not so much space behind the motherboard's back panel and the side of the case to hide cables.
Pros: Nice black interiorLots of featuresSolidGood airflow Comment:
For the price, this is one of the best cases. Offers a lot of features, and comes with 3 good quality and quiet fans. The rubber pads under the case are perfect for the fresh air intake of the bottom mounted power supply. E-sata on the top is very convenient. Lots of room inside, and very easy to work with. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:
Wish it came with more fans. For slightly more, other cases include both a side fan and a second front fan. Also wish it came with a transparent side window.
Pros: Cooling options - this case has placement for fans in many different configurations. The hard part is deciding how many fans you want to use and which way they should face. Comment:
This case is tough to beat for the price. It has the same, or more, fan configuration options as many more expensive cases. It even has allowance for liquid cooling. Have a 2.5" ssd? No problem. One of the HD trays includes an adaptor for 2.5" drive mounting. The tool-less installation of drives makes life so much easier. Another handy feature is the video card holder - especially for those with a multi-gpu setup. It provides both support and additional cooling options. It's a selling point for anyone using multiple graphics cards. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:
Personal quibble, the dust filters are just flimsy cut-out rectangular mesh.
Pros: Great value for a case with this many features. Comes with a lot of features you'd normally see in $200+ cases. Comment:
Got this on sale and I'm really impressed considering how much it cost.Very sturdy considering the metal mesh makes up most of the top and front of the case. Painted black finish inside if you're into that sort of thing, although you would need to buy the extra see-through side panel if you want to be able to see inside.Lots of great features like the SSD adapter and the side-slot individual drive bays. The SATA dock at the top is a wonderful idea, makes juggling extra HDD's a breeze.Air cooling in this case is very good, a hallmark of Coolmaster. Have done some OC'ing of a i7 930 on air and have had good results so far. |

Hard to say, I think the only problem is the LED button is hard to push when it is already down.

Excellent 5 star quality case. Great for the extreme gamer, and budget builder. It keeps the system so very cool. Black and blue is a very good combination of colors. |

Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*
Cons:
- front panel is a little hard to open. It feels like you're going to break it.- for some reason the front usb ports work fine with a flash drive, but not with my external hard drive (which works with the mobo usb ports)
Pros: - looks great- lots of fans options- tool-free- rubber feet help to reduce noise- gridded front panel helps airflow Comment:
This case is very good. The tool-free design makes it very easy to use. The airflow is really good and it is easy to add more fans to improve airflow. The visual design is very sleek without being too aggressive. I would have liked a second 2.5" adapter for the front panel, but that's just being picky. Overall a great buy. |


Great set up, easy to work in and superb air flow. thumb screws rock too.
