Hi all,well i asked the question in another post of mine which case i should buy, Il contact a mod to delete the old post as ive got this better one with poll. (Could not add poll to old post)

however after looking more through some sites ive come to a few i like but i cant decide which one would be best in my budget range!

now i like the idea of tool less,AND good cooling is a must and i would like as much space as possible.

this time im not intrested in modding the case at all or spraying it,i just want a good quality case.

choices (Please vote)

I know alot of people are going to vote the Antec 900,But ut seems nearly EVERYONE has one of them lol so i dont know if i realy want to get it.

im leaning more towards getting the CoolerMaster BLACK CM 690 CASE but thanks all for replies/votes :)

I have always wanted the CM690. Even though I also love the Antec 900 and think it looks totally awesome. But I have always wanted to get the CM690 and next time I need a new case, I'll be getting it, unless some totally awesome cheap new case comes out in the meantime.
 
I will come to the wherever u liv and slap you the hell around if you do not get the CM690. Beautiful case. I have it and love it.

I also have the Coolermaster 690 and think it is great. The cooling is almost unbeatable, even with the Antec 900. The quick mount drive bay devices and the PCI slot quick mount devices have to go...just use screws. You can also buy aftermarket side panels for the case. The 80mm slim fan port behind the motherboard that blow cool air on the bottom of the CPU is great.
 
Antec, I have never met anyone disappointed by the quality or layout of a case made by Antec. Their designs are usually thoughtful and purposeful and the materials and construction are always top notch.
 
I have the Antec 900, but like you said, a lot of people have it. Also, if you're not wanting to do any modding, it'll be a right pain in the ass for you.

I'd go for the CM690, it has pre-cut holes for cable management and there's more fans than you can shake a stick at!
 
Get the Xclio windtunnel, the 250mm fans keep the whole case nice and cool, especially the drives, and blows air right onto the gpu;) Just make sure to put a nice 120mm in the front and back as exhaust if you get it(i actually would recommend the advanced if you can get it, has a 200mm exhaust on top).
 
i like the antec 900 alot, even IF everyone has it. but if you dont wanna get that one, get the 690
 
Cm 690 :d Too many people have the Antec 900, and it is over used! FIGHT THE POWER! Buy the CM 690!

I was thinking of buying an antec 900 when I was upgrading my rig, but I just went with the Antec 300 since so many people have the 900.
 
Thanks for your votes guys,Well it will be the 690 il be getting,il be posting up some piccs when its rebuilt and may do a review for CF techzine!

tit-tech.net gives this case a solid 9/10,i was shocked by the poll results!

I will come to the wherever u liv and slap you the hell around if you do not get the CM690. Beautiful case. I have it and love it.

haha im safe im getting that case :P

i didnt know it had pre-cut holes thats even better! i just dont want to mod the case at all i want to leave it all stock.

That case is super sexy i realy like it,But i dont think its a nice as the 690.

Where is the CM Haf 932 selection?

too expensive,i think its over £120 and thats without delivery :D

Thanks guys

CM690, no question, love mine :D

you have the Nvidia edition ...i was looking at that but its like £30 more just for a green stripe and a little clear window.

im just gonna go for the normal one,im glad a few people have the 690 here though because if i run into any problems i can ask people who have it! :)
 
CM690... not only is it the nicest looking case around, it also seems to be very good, and not super expensive.

yeah it is kinda pointless charging £30 for them to put the nVidia logo and put a window on it, but as a hole, the 690 is a very good case and has great cooling

to be fair it aint the best looking but it does score really high (like 8/9 out of 10), yeah it is a really good case, easy to work on, almost tool-less, looks great and yeah its a fair price for what it is, :D


just get the cm690, like most people have said, you wont be disappointed
 
slight problem,if i choose the 690,its 5-6 inches too big to fit under my desk lol

urgh!!!!!! :mad:

not sure what to do,i realy want a new case,but it must be able to fit under my desk as i have nowhere else to put it.
 
see if you can move stuff around to make it fit next to your desk. if not just get the antec 900
 
If you got the Antec 900, I wouldn't put it under the desk, the top 200mm exhaust fan wouldn't be blowing the air anyway.

Screw the desk, Shane! :P
