This review is from: COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN3 CM690 II Basic Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
This is my first cable-management case. I've had an older Antec case from 2001 and after putting 4 different PC's in it, I thought it were time for a change. The tool-less design is good, no problems with any of the flaps/latches/thumbscrews/drive-bays. Ample room for plenty of fans and it stops lots of dust. Smooth edges.
Cons:
I gave this a 5-egg rating because I knew what I was buying. I don't like that there's so much plastic on the case, but I can't rate less because of that, can I? I already knew that!
I don't think the fan-mount locations are the best, and I would have liked 1 more fan facing the rear of the box. As I have it, I have 1 140mm on the bottom, 2 140mm fans on top, 1 120mm fan in front and 1 120mm fan in back. It seems to keep cool, but not anything spectacular.
I also don't like that you lose functionality of the front fan LED on/off switch if you don't buy either the red or blue LED fan from coolermaster that will work with that.
