| 632144 | 2008-01-20 09:50:00 | The Coolermaster CM690 computer case: 1. Accommodates up to seven 120 mm fans for high-efficiency ventilation 2. Removable HDD racks provide for easy assembly 3. Cable management design for better cable routing and neatness 4. Tool-free user-friendliness for quick maintenance and upgrade 5. Roomy interior supports nVIDIA G80 SLI configuration Available Color Black Dimension (W / H / D) (W)213 X (H)482 x (D)524.5 mm Weight 9.8 kg Material Chassis: SECC, Bezel: Metal mesh+ABS Motherboards ATX, Micro-ATX 5.25" Drive Bay 5 Exposed (without the use of exposed 3.5 inch Drive Bay), 4 Exposed (with the use of 3.5 inch Drive Bay) 3.5" Drive Bay 1 Exposed (converted from one 5.25 inch Drive Bay) I/O Panel USB 2.0x2, IEEE 1394 x1, MIC x1, eSATA x 1, SPK x1 (support HD Audio) Cooling System Front :120 mm Blue LED fan x 1, 1200 rpm, 21 dBA, Rear : 120 mm standard fan, 1200 rpm, 21 dBA, Top : 120 or 140 mm fan x 2 (optional), Bottom : 120 mm fan x 1 (optional), Left: 120mm fan x 2 (one is optional)-up to 140mm fans Expansion Slots 7 Power Supply Standard ATX PS2/ EPS 12V (optional) Certification nVIDIA SLI One 80x15mm fan can be installed at the rear of MB tray. It also comes with a manual and side panel screws and stand offs. The side panel can be locked as well for security for lanning. It has a cable management system along the side of the motherboard. It comes with heaps of spare screws placed running along both sides of the 5.25" bays-(left and right inside of the case). The psu goes on the bottom of the case,and sits on little rubber buttons and has rubber along were the psu is scrwed to the case for slicence. The feet of the case are rubber as well to absorb sound. The front case fan is a nice cool blue not bright just nice. The front case grills and top of the case is mesh to do passive cooling.The front grills have dust filters behind them. I found it to be the easiest,quickest install I have ever done as everything was screw free. The only thing I needed to screw was the motherboard to the stand offs. Everything was straight forward and you could always look at the manual if you wanted to which has pictures as well and it IS in logical understandable English as well. It comes with 3 x case fans, they can be plugged into your motherboard or psu whichever you wish as it has adopters to do either. The side fan I have plugged into a fan controller and the front and back fan I have plugged into the motherboard. So far I am only using the 3 x 120mm case fans that came with the case and they are good enough for me at this stage,I might add another 120mm side fan later if I want/need too. The side panels take a little bit of effort to get off but otherwise I have had no problems. I bought this case for $135.00 and it was worth it IMHO. I like it alot,it looks real nice as well as being a real good cool case.:cool: Another good thing is there is plenty of harddrive space and room for the big graphic cards so its good for upgradability when one wants to. So all those who are having heat problems,this case will fix them as it has heaps of cooling if you want/need to do so.:thumbs: Check it out at www.coolermaster.com |

| 632146 | 2008-01-20 19:55:00 | You could have provided a proper link to the product. Does it include the PSU? [edit] nevermind, I found a review. Sounds okay'ish. But it's only a mid-tower :yuck: |

| 632147 | 2008-01-20 20:04:00 | Sounds good. Would be better if you could post a link to the actual case rather than their general website. Edit: Oops, Greg beat me to it. Glad I'm not the only lazy person around here. :p |
