The CM 690 II Advanced Chassis is shipped in a striking box, highlighting the USB 3.0 support.
The back depicts three images of the product while labeling all the key features.
The case is protected between two large Styrofoam blocks as well as a plastic cover.
The seductive curves are appealing.
The top of the case has many key features, including 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, microphone and headphone sockets as well as the main power and reset buttons. There is also a front fan LED on/off button and an external SATA X-dock with a protective cover.
The left-hand side of the case has space for 2 x 120mm fans, and they support fans from 80mm upwards.
The rear is traditionally designed, with the power supply mounted at the bottom. There are 7 PCI slots.
Along the bottom of the case, we can see Cooler Master have opted for very large rubber feet, which will keep the case very stable on a variety of surfaces.
Cooler Master do include a wide selection of accessories. They include screws, cable ties, a speaker as well as 3.5″ front plate, some mounts and a mesh dust filter. They also include a comprehensive Installation Guide.
Its a lovely looking case, I like their more subdued designs. some of their more expensive cases could do with copying this style rather than the weird front panels etc.
Finish and mechanisms lack finesse in my honest opinion.
Can it take a CEB motherboard?
