I think the only thing I don't like about it compared to the CM-690 is the new mesh that they put on it. I really like the small hole mesh that's on the CM-690. The CM-690 II appears to have a mesh with larger holes in it.

Wonder how loud it'll get if you filled it up with Yate's.
Even worse, if you filled it with off brand shitter fans. Bet that thing could sound like a jet engine.
I would have bought this for the extra hard drive slots, fan spaces, and hot swappable SATA tray if the HAF 922 didn't look cooler. I've got enough fans on this things, not to mention the huge 200mm fans.
I bought a 4-pack of CoolerMaster 120mm Silent Series fans to install in my HAF 922. They seem to be quiet enough. No louder than the included fans in the case.Quote:

My brother has the HAF 922 case, and I can't say i'm a massive fan. I like my simple cases over ones with lots of indents and such.
Your brother has a ot of things.Quote:

I'm probably going to get this just becuase the huge Full Tower I have is annoying, I want something simple and better at cooling (that isn't a $200 lian li.)
They should be available on NewEgg and other online retailers by January 12th. Don't quote me on this though, I'm getting it third hand from someone who heard it from a Cooler Master rep on Hardware Canucks.
There will also be a CM 690 II (not advanced) that doesn't include the top HDD bay (it's not hot swappable on the advanced anyways), VGA retention bracket, removeable HDD bays, SSD brackets, or rear 140mm fan. It'll be about $20 cheaper if you're not worried about those features.
Unfortunately the integrated USB ports on the case are not USB 3.0 spec. :saddowns:
Oh, or you could just buy it now:

I wonder when they'll be on sale. Hopefully I'll be able to get one. :D
