Cooler Master CM 690 III Computer Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2013-11-25

Cooler Master's CM 690 series has received again a face lift, logic as it remains one of the core products of the Cooler Master enclosure range. Today we introduce you to the third installment of the infamous 690 series. At first glance no big cosmetic changes are detectable on the outside. This CM 690 III still carries the heavy weight on its shoulder of its predecessors regarding the looks, thus most changes are made on the inside to make this medium tower lineup 2013 proof. Time to open the box and explore the goodness the Cooler Master engineers came up with this time...

A Closer Look Contd.

At the back of the case we find 7 ventilated brackets secured via normal screws instead of thumb screws. The PSU is supported by four rubber dampers to minimize vibrations.

The bottom dust filter is easily removable and also covers the extra bottom Fan position. The front and top mesh grill also include a decent dust filter.

The previous Advanced II version had the X docking bay, a solution which I personally liked a lot since you got fast and easy removable HDD access. However most cases we reviewed in 2013 seemed to step away from similar concepts. A tragic loss in my book, all that is left over now is a tray to store away some small personal belongings. The addition of two USB 3.0 ports on top of the present two USB2.0 ones can be applauded.
