I really like the way this case is designed.From the reviews alot of people say it cools well.It looks like the Cm690 but from the picture of inside the case it has open Hd/Optical drive cage to allow for the largest GPU's and can hold up to 8 fans.Cable routing would be pretty easy to ,I believe .Seems like a well thought design and am considering it for my build.What does everyone else think?

So, even though the Centurion models are rather "cheap" they are still a pretty good case and have good air flow? The reviews on newegg seem to say so, but I just wanted to hear some of your opinions.
P.S I don't mean to hijack your thread Scubie, just didn't want to make a new one. |

Yeah. Even the cheap models of Cooler Master cases are pretty good. All have good air flow. The more expensive cases just have more features.

Hehe ...Np, it was an old thread .I think this case is pretty good.If you pull up the pictures you can see it is very open in the front to allow for the huge video cards that are now coming out.I was torn between this case and a Cm690.Both have areas 2 areas up top that you can mount fans for optimum cooling.Bad thing about this model is that it only comes with 1 Hd cage,so you would have to buy another or rig a fan with zip ties if you want 2 fans up front which I want to do.The Cm 690 has an Attached hd area which may interfere with running Sli or crossfire with some of the newer cards( I have read the 9800 GX2 SSc is 13 inches long ,this may or may not be true)I will probably go with the CM690 As it seems a little more solid and a tad bigger.I think either case would be great for a build though.
