Married, 10-12 hour workdays, and I've got a sort of second job as a music reviewer. And I'm still checking the new transmission we put into my car.

Heh, got a sata drive coming by the end of the week myself. Also picked up some acoustic padding for the side panel(s) to control some of the rattling. Can't wait to end the existence of the IDE cable in my case. Also going to clean up my cable management. And when I get my new mobo and cpu I'm going to mod the case.

Here's mine: no serious mods, but I did remove most of the honeycomb grill, removed extra cables that I don't need (1394 and eSATA front panels), and put in a fan controller and additional 120mm fans. Also put wire covering on the PSU myself and put grommets between all the fans and the case to reduce vibrational noise.

Would it be hard to drill holes in the bay covers? Not sure if that mesh is easily drilled through :S

Not hard at all. I drilled some holes in two of the bay covers to mount a vantec tornado intake. Thank Jebus I have a fan controller. The tornado sounds ridiculous on 12v, I can hear it regardless of where I am in my house.

Really? Haha. Why do you think they call it the tornado. My V1 isnt too loud. It is on max max though.

Hi guys Whats the better aircooling case the CM690 or antec 900?and which one has the bigger gpu area inase future gpus get longer?

Iconoclast

Heh, I guess it does live up to it's name
I had it sitting on my shelf since last summer, finally decided to plug it in a couple of weeks ago. Turning it on the 12v setting for the first time made me lmao. No doubt it whistles a bit more through the mesh bay covers...

For better air cooling, definitely the cm690 - room for 7 120mm fans (or 3 120s and 4 140s). You can squeeze another 120mm fan as a front intake, if you've got the room in the 5.25" drive bays. Plus another 80x15mm fan behind the motherboard tray.
As for gpu room, the cm690's got plenty and I'm sure the 900 does as well.

CM690>Antec 900, imo. The 690 just looks better than the 900; more sophisticated than the plastic look of the 900.
