Coolermaster CM 690 - What New Case?

What new case, if any do you think I should get?



I'm looking at spending about ?0... The Coolermaster CM 690 seems like a very good option, the only thing that I don't like, is the lack of side window



It needs to be able to have excellent cooling!

Great Cable managment!

Look great!



What do you think, would it be worth it over what I have at the moment?

Thanks!

£20 over budget lol but a great case

Thanks for the links Shane, they're a little expensive though...



Any other ideas?

Heres the pictures you requested.







SOrry for the messy room, im supposed to be tidying it now

Wow looks awesome.

lol



It looks awesome! Shouldn't your temps be awesome with that thing?



Also, what spaces do you have the fans on?



Also, wouldn't it be better to have the two top 120mm;



The rear one exhuast and one nearest the front of the case intake, to give the Zalman fresh air?



Thanks man!

Cripes that a lot of fan space!



BTW, messy room <duck>



Korn, no clear panel either, but the case in my sig is definitely worth checking out.

In theory yes, but that will add a lot of turbulence to the case interior. Best bet is to have a smooth a Front to Rear flow as possible. Granted CPU ducts help, as do upper exhaust fans and VGA vents, but when introducing too many Intake angles, you have a greater chance of 'hot spots' inside the case where air just doesn't move.

You should definitely check out the NZXT Apollo. I own it and so do a couple of other people on here I think. It's a fantastic case for $60. And it has a side panel. I bought two more fans and added one to the front and cut a hole in the top and added an exhaust there but you don't have to do that.

The front two fans intake, the side panel intake, the top two exhaust, the bottom one intake and the rear one exhaust.



I have great mobo temps with it, just have a bad cpu chip, the 80mm green fan dropped 4 C off cpu temp btw
