Bought myself the CM 690 II Advance for better cooling this summer.

I'm going to transfer from my current Gigabyte Poseidon case to this once the four CM Red R4's come in that I also ordered today.

Awesome! I was sold on that case until I found no Side WIndow included :(

Good luck with it mate, the R4 fans are awesome for what they are, and NCIX covers the 1 year warranty themselves and are very good about it.

Yeah the price is right for it but turned me off it cause no side window panel available.

I know the feeling, and I only have the 922. I constantly eye up the smaller cases. I used to have a CM elite, and it was very small and handy

Here are some pictures with my gear installed in the case. I decided to go with blue R4's because Coolermaster doesn't make a 140MM Red fan to replace the blue one that came with the case. I also ordered two more 140's for the top of the case and I now have my Noctua in a push/pull config. I sourced out some sleeving at a local electrical shop so most of the fans have been sleeved along with the front panel wires. Cable managment isn't the best but I hope to be going AM3 soon so I'll do it nicer once I can get some new components. A modular PSU would really be great and some more black sata cables would be nice.
