I decided to go with a CM690 for my build, I read too many good things about it. When I saw it IRL at CompUSA, I knew it was the case for me (bought on Newegg, of course!).

I'm definitely in the "unmodded" demographic; I didn't choose a mathematics major over mechanical engineering for nothing lol

Here's a couple of very generic pictures:



Should probably get around to doing something with all those cords at the bottom. Humph, oh well. I've really enjoyed working with this case. I'm very glad I purchased it. I don't know how I didn't live with the screwless design before this!

Since the screw is stripped and panel is already all scratched up, I suppose you could just go at it with some pliers to turn the screw. But I'd wait for some other suggestions first.

Ok sweet, I found out what type of screw that fits perfectly. Now I just don't know what type it is.

Pics to follow soon.
