Cooler Master 690 II Advanced computer case review – a case that outshines the competition

Today we offer you a review of an unbelievably good computer case which can be bought for $99.99 on newegg.com – Cooler Master 690 II Advanced.

We must say that the steel casing, which has place for 11 (!) fans (different sizes) is superior to plenty of much more expensive computer casings because it has almost all of the ideal characteristics required of a computer case.

It has a SATA hard drive connector in a special niche in the top of the hull, as well as HDD mechanisms inside the hull, thus greatly simplifying the hard disk installation.

Just like in case of many other high-end housings, the power supply is intended to be placed at the bottom of the Cooler Master 690 II, and not at the top. Wire from the power unit can be dragged through the back of the motherboard plate, thus significantly improving the air circulation in the case.

The casing also has a video card retention bracket, which may be helpful when youre transporting a computer with two or more videocards. It is also very important that this case is long enough so you will be able to insert even the largest graphics cards in it.

The body is constructed of quality materials and the front panel is equipped with dust filters to prevent dust from being sucked in through the front fan.

We should also mention that this impressive computer case also supports a water cooling system.

The only drawback of this case in our opinion is the fact that it has a mesh throughout all of the case which helps to make the air circulation better, but also makes your computer slightly louder.

Pros:

+ Great price
+ Place for 11 fans
+ SATA drive bay at the top of the case and handy HDD mechanisms inside the case
+ Videocard retention bracket, place for even the largest GPUs
+ Fantastic cable management options
+ Supports water cooling system

Cons:

- This case can be slightly louder due to the mesh type construction

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced computer case can be bought on newegg.com.
