Just got my setup placed into it's new home, a brand new Cooler Master CM 690 Chassis! Here are some pictures of my build, I've yet to do any hardcore cable management but I'll be getting to it after I install a window on the side panel.
The case, all sealed up and ready to go:
Case top external connection ports:
Underside ventilation and 140mm Scythe side panel fan:
Hard drive bays:
Current cable management shots:
General case interior:
And the reason I need a side window:
I'm also thinking of cutting a small channel on the backside of the mother board tray to take some pressure off the side panel. It's currently bending do to the huge pile up of cable behind the motherboard tray, even with it all spaced out... This new case is in preparation for a new modular power supply (ABS Tagan) and a new graphics card (Nvidia GTX 285). You may have noticed that I propped off the Cooler Master logo from the front of the case, I just like the "clean" look without any branding showing, so it had to go. I also mentioned the side panel window earlier, if anyone has any recommendations or information regarding side panel window installations, it would be great to hear!
