Cooler Master CM690 Nvidia Ed. ATX Case SLI ReadyItem#: C283-1189  |  Model#: NV-690C-KWN2-GP

Great Case!

I have loved this case for 3 years now, and can make the following criticisms confidently. CONS: Make sure you don't put any food on top of it; crumbs get stuck in the mesh. The power button and reset button are a little annoying as there is too much resistance pressing them in from the side. The front panel can be real difficult to get off. The cable management still looks a bit messy. Be careful of the tool-less HDD brackets, as you can scratch up the finish on your hard drive with it. PROS: Supreme air flow capability, tool-less pieces have really been a convenience in parts switching as it has decent expandability potential, the case is very durable(I can assure you that I've given it a beating), the included fans run relatively quiet with green LED. Very appealing design, and its GREEN. Best case for the price.

Best case I've owned.

I love the layout of this case, everything is easily accessible and there's lots of room to build and modify. Keeps all components very cool, especially for how quiet the case is.

Great Case For the Money

Pros:Love the versatility of being able to put either a Micro or full size ATX board in it. Screw-less feature for add-on cards and CD, DVD Drive Bays. Good ventilation with 3 Fans in the case at purchase and the option to add at least 2 more. Cons: Not sure if this is a Con, but PS mounts on the bottom of the case, as opposed to most that are top mount, this could cause problems with dust collection later on, resulting in clogging up the PS Ventilation. Although the Clip in brackets are a nice feature for the HDD, they are hard to get on the HDD, and will not work if you have a HDD Fan-Heatsink mounted on your HDD. Over all a solid case, good quality for the money, and very upgradable for future upgrades. I recommend it if you're looking for a Bigger Case with good cooling options and upgrade ability, and Roomie .

Finally a solid case

I have went through numerous cases in the past that were basically tin walls. I have been really impressed with the quality. It is big and heavy, but it is an attractive case that has been great for housing my Nvidia graphics cards.

Amazing upgrade

I upgraded from a small low cost case with 80mm case fans. My 8800 gtx oc'd idle temps dropped from 60C to 40C, very impressive. That's with the included case fans only btw. My cpu is also running about 8C cooler. I had to dremmel my last case to get my graphics card in it, and this case makes my ATX mobo and 10.5'' graphics card look tiny lol! It's a little pricy, but I wanted something that didn't look cheap because I put it in the living room as a gaming-media pc. The fans make a faint ''wind'' noise, but that could also be my oversized cpu cooler. Which by the way is a scythe mugen 2, that miraculously fits with room to spare. I was crossing my fingers on that one :) I'd say the case is more like a smaller full sized case, but that's exactly what I was looking for.
