Well with a hard drive in the plastic hard drive holders that comes with the CM 690 wedged vertically in the hard drive bay fits very tight. You could almost wedge it in there and be tight enough to leave it like that safely. But I went ahead and strapped it down with a few zip ties through the back also just to make sure it wasnt going anywhere.

Does it get hot at all, since the fan isn't blowing directly at it?

I know my case is durty, but I really don't want to risk screwing something up to clean everything.

This is the best I can really do, without removing the mother board to chop away at the tray.

I keep all the components as clean as I can with canned air, I'm not OCing this machine, so there is no big hurry to have it completely spotless, but when I upgrade. Oh boy, anal retentive, here I come.

damnit- some of thses cases really inspire. I can't wait to get my box under the knife. hack, saw, drill, paint. Still rounding up goodies. Wire management is difficult if everythings always in limbo, otherwise I'd post mine lol.

People need to learn how to re-size their pictures.

I have not modded my 690 in any way for cable management. Once I cut a couple holes, build a plate to go between the mobo tray and the cages, and a false floor above my PSU I'll be done. That's another day though. The biege and blue cable you see between the mobo tray and the drive bays are actually outside of the case, they are my network cables, which are too short.

Stupid sata cable for my DVD burner was too short to route behind the mobo.

And in the Dark. Just how I like it.

I don't like lights if you haven't noticed. The only light I have is the green flashing light on my Prelude that I am considering covering up with some electrical tape in the near future.

Why not move the DVD burner to a lower bay so you CAN put it behind the tray? That's what I did, though I've yet to actually re-route the SATA cables in mine. If you can't do that somehow, I'll leave that with a 9/10.
