I have been looking for a good case at a decent price and after reading this thread I ordered the 690 this morning! I can't wait to build it up. I ordered it and 4 antec 120mm blue fans, and a new SATA cd/dvd burner! no more IDE cables! w00t!

Well, here is a pic of it after all is put back together. Did the best I could do with out having to completely hack up my case.
Think I'll go modular once again with my psu, over half the wiring is not needed on this psu I have now.

Here is my rig
This is my current setup. I got my 690 during a CompUSA black friday sale for $34.99 after rebate(which I received). I went budget for my first build and have since replaces everything except for the case and monitor.
I'm fairly happy with my cable management. Since my power supply was not modular I had to stuff all unused cables behind the motherboard tray. I also had to run the front audio cable across the motherboard to the sound card which kind of sucks, but oh well. Let me know what you all think.
