If you believe that the mark of a great system is its graphics capability, then Cooler Master’s special edition NV690 is designed with you in mind. Specifically designed for graphics-intense operations, it's nVIDIA SLI certified and will fit even the largest PCI Express graphics card in any of the 7 expansion ports - without interference from the drives – allowing you to scale up your graphics power.
The cards and the 5 externally accessible 5.25” drive bays install without tools. One bay may be converted to fit a 3.5” drive and there are 5 internal 3.5” bays as well. A well thought out cable management design keeps cords routed out of the way for ease of access as well as improved airflow within the case. The external design of the case mirrors the graphic capabilities of your system with a stylish black case with fluorescent green highlights that extend to a green window in the side.
A 120mm fan with green LED is mounted in front with a two other 120mm fans mounted in the rear and on the side. A pair of easily accessible USB 2.0 ports are mounted in the upper panel along with an IEEE 1394 port, a eSATA port and HD audio in and out jacks. The nVIDIA logo on the front proudly proclaims your preference in graphic powerhouses.
Pros: Really roomy, good airflow, nice color and it fits everything with room to spare. Nice cable management perk, you can reroute your wires through the back of the case. Plenty of different fan position combonations. It's really quiet, quiet enough so you can use the PC at night and not bother anyone. The top fan that I put in the case is loud because it's a 100% all the time.
Cons: The stock fans are slow. There isn't much light in the case at all. That's just about it for the cons.
Other Thoughts: I ordered the last case before Newegg restocked today. Everything fits snug in my case. I think I'll buy different fans for the case though. I'm thinking about putting a green CCFL inside the case, it can use some light :).

Excellent case for the cash
Reviewed By: Testmonkey on 9/11/2008
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Excellent airflow, cable management, and construction.
Cons: Somewhat flimsy side panels.
Other Thoughts: One thing that must be mentioned about this case is the airflow, which is superior to any other case I've ever owned. On top of the fact that you can mount two 140mm fans in the top, one on the bottom, you can also mount three more 120mm fans on the front, side and rear. And if that wasn't enough, you can grab a slim 80mm fan for the slot that's located behind the CPU socket on the other side of the case. Doing this knocked 4c of my CPU's load temp just like that. Furthermore, the power supply slot is built so that the power supply's fan takes cool air from the bottom of the case, again, a better way of cooling the power supply. All in all, this case outmatches others that are twice the price.

Pros: I really like this case. It has enough room for just about any thing you would put in a normal computer. It has good air flow and a good number of places to put fan's, including a place behind the cpu. Has a good cable management system that keeps the cord from the top of the case in line and the cords from the psu in one spot.
Cons: I dont particularly enjoy taking the front of it off, it feels like it breaks off every time. The 4 pin adapters that came with the fans were bent and fell apart. As Stated by most it is dark.
Other Thoughts: There are screws mounted on the side of the 5.25'' drive bay, i had trouble with a few being in so tight they just stripped when i tried to take them out to use.

Nice looking, great air flow
Reviewed By: square.wave on 1/28/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Great looking green/black color scheme with a minimal (read: tasteful) use of green LEDs. No cheesy blue lights! Excellent air flow due to mesh panels and numerous fan mounts. The front-to-back length is enough to accommodate the latest long video cards, and it's wide enough to accommodate a CPU cooler up to 176.7mm in height.
Cons: The case supports behind-the-board cabling, but the clearance between the back of the motherboard tray and the side panel is quite short. I had to get creative with some adhesive-backed cable tie mounting points in order to keep the cables held tightly against the tray, otherwise the side panel would not go on without bowing out. Also the hole for the cables is pretty small, and it will be partially or completely blocked if you have a large power supply. The optional backside CPU fan must be 80x80x15 (not the usual 25mm) which is inconvenient. The supplied side and rear fans are a bit anemic.
Other Thoughts: A bit more space behind the motherboard tray would be a big improvement for both cabling and fan options. Overall a great case, with only a few minor shortcomings that can be overcome with a little imagination or clever use of a Dremel tool.

Sweet Case

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice design great looking asthetically. Lots of room for components. Great air flow lots of places to install fans. Very well thought out design. Love the tool less drive bays as well.
Cons: had a little dificulty removing the front of the case but it did come off with a little effort. not worth taking an egg away for. power and reset buttons press odd but work fine just something to get used to. I would hav liked to see some interior lighting in the case but that is the only change I would make to it.
Other Thoughts: I ahve not built a machine in abotu 5 years time now and this case is designed much better than the ATX cases of old. I am very happy with my purchase. I took my time on my build so I could spend sepcial attention to cable managment and routing. Would highly recomend this case to anyone building a pc

Highlights
Specially Designed with Graphics in Mind The NV690 is designed with a graphics enthusiast in minid. All 7 expansion ports are set to fit any size graphics card without interfering with your drives.
Cable Management The Cable Management design used in the NV690 allows you to keep your cables hidden and out of the way of critical airflow.
Increase Cooling Performance A 120mm fan is mounted in the front of the case to give your parts access to fresh, cool air from outside the case. A 120MM rear mounted exhaust fan pulls that cool air over your parts and pushes it out. With one additional fan mounted to the sidepanel, your parts will get the cooling they need under the most extreme loads.
