Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2011-04-18

Time to throw another case into the mix. Today we are introducing an evolution of one of coolermasters biggest sellers of the last years. The Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced. By listening to the end users input, the CM engineers have refined the 690 series case. Adding a removable HD bay (to support up to 3GPUs easily), a hot swappable HD docking station, baptised X-docking station, are just a few of the new features or updates as you want. The 690 II advanced is available in a window and non windowed version. Let's see what this beauty has got in store for you.

Internal features...

On the inside a well executed mat black finish for that little profesional touch. Six quick removable HD bays, no screws involved. Compared to previously tested cases, the plastic trays fit firmly back into position.

One SSD tray is included, which fits both 1.8 and 2.5 inch SSDs. Just 4 screws and your SSD is secured for life. The 3.5 inch Hard Drives are kept securely and fully damped in position too, this time however no screws required.

Our little 60GB Corsair Sandforce ready to be inserted into the HD bay. The Hard drives are cooled by a 140mm Blue LED fan. Spinning at a mere 1200rpm being practically inaudible at 19dBa.

For the optical drives, 4 max supported. Again superb crafted screwless locking design.
