Yeah, there's a few people that have the CM 690, I was considering that or the Antec 900, before I got the Antec of course...
It's a really nice case!

The antec 900 is nice, but i see my next case being the Stacker 830 evolution, its huge! I would take out the big fan tray, and use cathodes so you can see the insides

The thing most notable about the 900 is flexibility not seen in other cases. Point in question namely the two hard drive bays you can unfasten with 4 thumb screws on each side and pull forward not only for removal but to allow a little more room for things like round ide cables depending on how you set drives up.
With one cage removed you then see six 5 1/4" bays instead of three. That comes in handy when you take one using the plastic reducer for seeing a floppy drive go in one the top bays there. Other cases will see a side mounted cage or simply a number of slots facing forward. A video review on the 900's flexibility can seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...99506&hl=en-CA

One look at the model seen at the link and I have to agree. The model link may see a 120 front intake but where is it? hidden behind non vented or grilled front bay covers. The old type of full plastic seen there.
With the hard drives in the bottom drive cage the top 120 simply blows in straight at the board and other things. Plus besides the usb and eSata port as well as optional audio jacks on the top you also see a large 200mm fan plus a recessed utility type tray for something like a web cam or palm sized camcorder for downloading/uploading there.
