Seven fan slots; interesting cablemanagement scheme; mostly screwless case.
The screws you need are inconveniently placed; drive bays are flimsy; cablemanagement scheme blocks critical paths.
That table brings our testing section a close and now all that is left is for me to summarise our findings, wrapping it all up nicely before the folks at Cooler Master come and demand that I return to them the rather nice CM 690 chassis. My time with i...
Excellent Price, Good looking design, Offers great cooling potential, Accepts Watercooling, Wire management, Toolless Design
Needs modifications for IDE harddrives, Filters can be tough to clean, Lower fan could limit some of the larger PSUs
The Cooler Master CM690 does offer a lot of great features that could easily be catered to just about any hardware configuration you can throw at it. I like the mesh design that is incorporated into the front and top of the case. I personally woul...
Abstract: Arriving at my front door in a plain brown box, this mystery item puzzled me. Not knowing if I should open it up or call Home Land Security, I took the chance and risked life and limb to find out what was lurking inside. Lo and behold, it was the...
Great cooling, Spacious, Great value, Cable management features, Toolless, Good looks
Flimsy sidepanels, Loud, Awkward power buttons
There are very few negative things to be said about the CM690. Though my complaints about the case are small and arguably preferential, they concern daily use of the case. The first and most aggravating problem is the side panel implementation. It is b...
Sometimes CoolerMaster has a hit, and sometimes they have a miss, like any company. The CM690 however is most definitely a hit. They managed to somehow fit everything from a full sized tower into a mid, and not sacrifice anything. Not only are you able...
Great engineering inside the case, Large enough, even for the biggest graphic cards, Very quiet operation, Three large fans included, Great price, Easy cable routing possible, Vibration dampening where possible, Absolutely no vibrations, Mainboard header...
Not competely screwless, Power LED connector may not fit every board, Top I/O and front buttons may be hard to reach, No removable mainboard tray
Cooler Master has done it again. Not only have they impressed with their new high-end Cosmos, but also with the mainstream RC-690. The case has a lot of very useful features and additions which are usually not found in cases which cost less than 100 US...
Bang for the buck, Lots of cooling possibilities including water, Sleek smooth curves.
None.
The Coolermaster CM 690 provides a lot of bang for the buck in the budget Case department. A quick search of Newegg’s website shows the CM 690 already selling for a very convincing $59! With the cooling possibilities and even room for water cooling...
Abstract: Never waiting a single moment to cool their heels, Cooler Master has unleashed a brand new monster of a mid tower. Their latest offering, the CM 690, is a veritable smorgasbord of features that many of the more expensive, higher end full/server towers ...
Clean lines, Elegant style, Metal cooling mesh, Low resistance stamped fan grills (mounts), Badass Black case color, Tool less design, No Window
Tool less design, Plastic HDD "trays"
CoolerMaster has always been one of the leaders in case design and each year they seem to push themselves to come up with even better designs than before. The CM690 is a perfect example of this. The elegant lines and clean design are very pleasing t...
