Got mine today and just finished molesting it.
Looks great and feels classy.

And could someone enlighten me on what is needed to add a second fan at the front? is there like a special fan cage thing needed to add the 2nd fan?

Thanks in advance.

I just got my CM 690!

I have a quick question. How do you remove the front panel? The instructions didn't explain it at all. It looks like you just yank it off. Is that correct, or are there little screws or tabs that need to be removed first?

Put your hand at the bottom of the front panel and pull it from there. It can be a PITA to remove but once it's removed it will be easier the next time.

True took me 30 mins trying to "softly" remove it without any luck.

Then I decided to just YANK THAT B*TCH OUT and boom it was out.

Thanks for the help. I figured I would ask first before I broke anything.

#5 can be intake fan. The side case fans can be intake or you can leave them without fans. Everything else looks okay. It's best to test out what configuration will work best for you. It depends on what types/brand of fans you'll be using and how many other components will be in your CM 690 case.

I have the rear fan as exhaust, top fans as exhaust, bottom fan as intake, lower side case fan as intake and the front fan as intake.
