I know the antec 900 is one of the best cooling mid towers.I was reading on the specs that the cm 690 can hold up to 7 fans.How does it compare in cooling and fit of parts toa a900 and will a zalman 9700 fit in it?
 
Okies, no answer I get the hint ;) . I was thinking of getting the 900 for cooling but I wonder if all the light from the side panel would get to be an eyesore afterwhile as well as disturb my reptiles(they are nocturnal) that I keep in my computer room.The 7 fans that you can put on the cm690 sound really good as well as being a less lighted case.I guess I could put some cardboard on the side of the 900 to block the light,don't know how good that would be for cooling though.

Um theres a new case from coolermaster called the Centurion 590.

Like the 690, it fits one rear fan, 2 side fans, 2 top fans, and you can put 2 4 in 3 modules (one included) in front (like the antec)

I think it will be better as its cheaper (they say it will be) and I think has MUCH better cooling capabilities
 
Thx for the reply.Ill check that out

edit* looked for centurian 590 on newegg,couldnt find it.Is it not yet available in stores yet?

Centurion coming out in march. I dont know. As much as people rave about the Antec, i just get the feeling not to go for it. I have read reviews and there is alot of extra modding involved to make it manageable (cables) and i hate clear side winows (retain heat, and the internal lights will P me off)
