For those who have noise issues with the honey comb on any fan placement, a cheap solution prior to cutting them out is to buy screen (like porch screen) from home depot/lowes and place it in between the fan and the honeycomb. Kills most of the noise, and on the side panel acts as a dust filter on some minor level. I even used black pantyhose on one (gf wasn't too pleased LOL) and it completely killed the noise. Just some ghetto fixes for you budgeteers. As soon as I start modding my case I'll put together a log...

my CM690 gets delivered tomorrow! yay!! I have a dremel, and was wondering if cutting out the fan grills really helps?

check, yah I guess every little bit helps! Since I will be having like 7 120mm fans, a little less noise couldn't hurt!

how hard is it to ghost the optical drive on this case and what materials/tools does it require?

I tried ghosting one of my drives, but the way the covers clip in to the front panel, I saw no easy quick solutions.
I put 2mins of thought into it though.
It's probably possible..

Hey are you guys buying that coolermaster 690 case with the clearsided window on it or seperately? If seperately where are you guys buying the window from. If together where are you guys buying the case from?

Most, or all are doing it themselves, but I do believe they have one out now don't they or did they not ever put that out, can't find it anywhere.
