Cooler Master 690 No P-s

Nice and open, cable organizer a bit bulky. (2008-12-18)
I bought this case from another retailer because my old case wasn't providing enough airflow. I haven't had one overheat since getting this Cooler Master. The case is very roomy. I have a GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS4 LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard that was a bit too big for the cable organizer (it was very easy to remove...but it's too bad it couldn't be utilized) but there was plenty of room on the side for breathing space (and my bulky video card had breathing room too!). The hard drive bays are uniquely designed on tool-less racks so it makes changing them a breeze. The power supply has to go on the bottom which is also vented. I also like how the top can come off to add/replace fans. Great case...especially for the price!

1st Computer I Built (2008-11-22)
When I bought this computer tower it was about $100 and now its come down so I kinda wish I waited. Its not so much that its the 1st computer I ever built as it was me having to take everything out of my old case and put it in here b/c of heat issues. It was very easy to do and with all the possible fans I could put in I wont really have a heat issue. I don't run my video cards in SLI or anything and liquid cooling is kinda more trouble than I have time for. Fans were my most simple solution to my heat problem and this case has plenty of them. The problem I ran into was a place to put cables on the inside though there is a spot to run them none of my cables were really long enough to run into it so I still have a wired mess. Its still roomier than my old case and I still have space on the inside. Both sides open which is nice except you have to take everything off just to get the front off. The holders for the hard drives are pretty flimsy and cheap feeling. For the price I think I got what I paid for and I don't regret it. I know if I would of paid more I probably could of got a better case but this one is still nice.

Great for HTPC (2008-11-18)
I use this case to house my HTPC. The mesh front and top make airflow nearly a non-issue. Lots of internal and external drive space.

Best Mid-Tower I have ever owned... (2008-09-26)
Tons of room, screw less design, but with all the screws you might need included. Solid design, no vibrations or rattles. The three 120mm case fans dropped my ambient temp 5c. I intend to replace one of those and add 5 140mm case fans to further cool my system and reduce what little fan noise that there is. My tinnitus is louder than this case.
My Nvidia GTS 512 OC fit with plenty of room left over. While the wire system allowed me to keep things nice and neat.

Good design, correctly built, sorta flimsy/noisy (2008-09-07)
I really expected something slightly sturdier and more solid than this case. I had 5 HDD's mounted in the cage and for whatever reason I kept getting fairly annoying simple harmonic vibrations. It sounded like an air conditioner was running under my desk. The mesh looks bad (just an opinion) and the front bezel is difficult to remove to access the 5 1/4" drive slots (fact). So, I plan on returning mine.

On the plus side, it is pretty spacious.
