Simply spray the interior of my casing black. The rest stays the same.

i picked up this case in-store from microcenter for 40 bucks after rebate. they had a sign out on the display that had it going for 25 but it turned out to be a mistake. still, 40 seems like a hell of a deal for this case.

im going to rebuild my sig pc into it later this week, once all of the yate loons i ordered for it get here.

Just got my CM 690 and everything installed. I tried to cable it nicely, it came out OK, but not that great compared to some of the jobs I've seen on here. Modular PSU would help.

The panels on the front of my case are (top to bottom):

SilverStone Aluminum I/O Panel II - Black Model: SST-FP32B
(Thanks to losttsol for showing this to me, love it. It connects directly to motherboard pin-headers, not a back USB port.)

Sunbeam Rheobus Fan Controller 5.25" - Black Model: RHK-BA

I love the case, but have a 2 complaints:
1) Needs better hard-drive isolation (rubber / silicone grommets). RAID 0 Raptors make a lot of noise, in my Antec BQE on rubber grommets they were really quiet.
2) Dust - Could use a few more filters on open areas.

I'm going to try to come up with my own mods to address these things. It's the Overclock way.

Case has:

1 x 120mm front intake (in front of HDs), pretty high air flow, wanna keep the data cool.
1 x 120mm bottom intake (panaflo medium - tons of air)
1 x 120mm side intake (panaflo medium - tons of air)
1 x 80mm side intake (on the back of motherboard)

1 x 120mm rear exhaust (panaflo medium - tons of air)
2 x 120mm top exhaust

CPU cooler is also on fan controller.

I got sleeved 3-pin fan power extension cables from Performance PCs to reach from the fans to the fan controllers. Great buy IMO.

When I had the sides off of the case it was pretty cool (temp-wise), with the sides on temps are up about 4 degrees C, even with the fans cranked. Temps don't vary that much when fans are on minimum vs. cranked. So cooling might not be the best in this case. Maybe my airflow is messed up somehow with so many fans...Nevertheless temps are pretty low, no worries.

Love the look, great case overall.
