got this case yesterday from backorder and it is rocking

side panel and removing those bays weren't as simple as lots of video seemed to be

[flightsimnerd]

Yea, getting the side panels off mine the first time took a LOT of strength lol. Other then that. I am in love. Its all i could have ever asked for in a case.

That's a very nice case again by Coolermaster. The amount of features they can pack into these cases is great to see especially for the going price. I'm very happy with the Storm Sniper I picked up but this 690 could do the job just as well for a much cheaper price. I think I'm officially off the Antec bandwagon and full-out behind what Coolermaster's cooking up!

Well, I made the plunge. Since BestDirect had the best price @$78.00 a few days ago, I added it to my cart and didn't think of ordering it because money was a little tight. Since the Canadian gouvernment deposited $2000.00 in my bank account(Red Seal Trade), I couldn't resist. Also, my wife said it was okay(we found out today we are having a girl). Luckly, my cart was saved before they raised the price and got it for $78.00 instead of the new price @$85.80. I also ordered the replacement side panel. Can't wait to get it :)


I also pickup a Logitech G25 steering wheel for $120.00 from a pawn shop in the east end of Montreal.

Wow, what a day.

I'll post a review once I get the case. Now I need some fans.

Anyone here think I'll have a problem installing the Gigabyte P55-A UD3 with a Thermalright PURE Rev. C?

Just moved my wife's build into one of these. Great case for the price, one of the easiest assemblies I've done. My only suggestion would be for CM to add grommets to the cable passthrough holes in the mobo tray, it would help hide the cables better.

We'll see how a double rad mounts in it on the weekend.

Yah I just moved my hardware from my old Antec 300 to this one (yes, finaly graduated and I took off the training wheels ).

Love the fact that the HDD cage is perpendicular to the case sides unlike most Antec cases - lot nicer on the HDD/SSD cable management - along with a modular PSU the case ends up very clean on the inside with minimal effort.

My only gripe, as I found out today, is the lack of clearance for 140mm fan on the top-top of the case, as it accomodated 120mm fans without problems, while the 140mm fans have to be installed on the -inside-top
