    views on Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced

    my old case is very tired and battered looking and while i once was of the bigger is better as is more fans im now feeling more less is more and silence is bliss!

    current case is a juno p6 tower think it cost me over a ton back in the day has seen me though many upgrades and systems and numerous holes drilled in it and blow holes etc but the time has come to move on.

    i currently have a 120mm rad mounted to a modified 80mm exaust fanhole at the rear of the case and a 120.2 rad mounted vertically against the front of the case where the 3.5" bays were i also have a 120.3mm rad in the attic i could never fit due to the lack of space namely length of the case!

    in my new case id like to use all rads not because i need to just purely for the hell of doing it with ideally keeping use of all drive bays

    i had looked at a Chenbro SR107 as i had seen it fitted with a 120.3 behind the bays and with them externally accessible and still usable but lack of a uk supplier and cost of the case / importing it to the uk ive had to look else where

    so the case ive been currently looking at is the Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced which is capable of taking my 120 & 120.2 with out being modded.
    do you guys think it would be possible to mod it via moving the lower bays back a touch and putting the 120.3 mounted vertically in the front?

    my budget for a case is pretty low trying to keep around the £50 mark and not wanting a full tower any advice on the above or an alternative case would be appreciated

    Yeh if your budget is low then I would say CM 690 II is a pretty good choice. It's got nice air flow as well

    The CM 690II is pretty well designed for rad support, you can remove the bottom half of the hard drive cage and fit a 120.2 rad in the bottom if you don't want on in the top





    Here's a build where two 120.2 rads have been fitted

    note: the fans for the top rad are under the top bezel above the rad
