I got this case as a Christmas present because my old case made a vibration sound that annoyed me that I couldnt get rid of. So far this case has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good case with lots of room at a good price.

Tons of room inside the case; Fans included are super quiet and provide good airflow (I can feel the air flow in the back on my feet); Supports a ridiculous amount of hard drives (I feel the need to buy more to fill the spots)

There was a small manufacturers defect on mine; There was a small strand of plastic that touched the front fan and made a horrible sound (kind of like when you used to put a card on a bike tire when you were a kid); I just popped the front cover off and cut it off and it was good to go

I fitted this with an Asus Maximum Hero, a corsair H115 2-rad cooler system plus DVD, SSD and HD and psu. All fitted comfortably, though I had to add a couple of screw holes for the Rad which otherwise fitted perfectly in the top structure with the fans.

Really great tower and super quiet. Still wasn't big enough for top loading for a 240 cooler but went for a front pannel setup. Yet to find a tower that lets you install a top rad and fans without losing two fans so can't really complain.

I would purchase this again if it came as advertised. 3 hard drive bays for $100 in a case this large is to much. Fix the discription and lower the price to accurately reflect the product you are shipping people.

Good build quality; nice finished appearance; good air filters

First, there is not a 200mm fan installed in the front like the description says, however there is a 140mm clear led fan in its place; It only came with the lower 3 x 3.5 inch drive bay fixture, the other 4 adjustable drive bays that mount above it are not included so don't plan on running more than...

Over the years the CM 690 series have proven to be a success number for Cooler Master, the fact that we have arrived at revision 3 of this chassis speaks for itself. Even in-between the releases we have seen advanced editions, black & white versions ... yeah there has been a lot of diversity.

KitGuru says: The CM 690 III definitely is worth the money, though we would have liked to see some of the CM 690 II's key features make a return.

Excellent build quality; Refined design; Excellent cooling performance; Easy access to all areas during installation

Removing the SATA and power connectors in the top compartment is disappointing; Graphics card support bracket found in the CM 690 II would have been a great addition; Mostly an aesthetic update

, but the company has since released a modernised version of its well received chassis, suitably named the CM 690 III. At ￡80, it's actually at a lower price point than that which the CM 690 II launched at too, which is always pleasing, and this price puts it firmly in the mid-range ATX mid-tower...

All three of the cases we've looked at this month are within $40 of each other, so just what each offers for that much more or less than its casemates (a little military humour, there, for the sharp ones) is really quite interesting.

Significant improvement over CM 690 II Plus is an understatement. A Whole new case with the same essence and succeeds CM 690's legacy!

The CM 690 III is a structurally sound design. Not only did the feet really grab to the glass when trying to move it around for images, but even without the panels and with some of the bays removed, the chassis still feels like a tank to protect your components.
