I bought this case around Christmas for about 74 bucks. Today CoolMaster gives me $30 rebate. Happy me as well. Anyone has new 9800GTX in this case? Does it fit? I am thinking of acquiring this new video card.

Just a question for all proud CM 690 owners,
__________________I think this case is awesome, and when i saw it first, i couldn`t believe something like that exists, especially at that value...  So i`ve been reading many reviews, and I`m interested in build quality, is it strong? And also does the front mesh tend to acumulate lot of dust that is hard to remove from all those holes (after 4-6 months)?

The dust does accumulate, especially with high cfm fans, but it's easy to clean out with a can of compressed air. The build quality is high, but my only complaint would be the side case panels. They feel a bit flimsy and can be a pain in the ass to get on sometimes. A minor qualm.

the chassis itself it super sturdy. The plastic molding is so so. The side panels are pretty weak, but then again you can only expect so much for such a low price. They have to make money somehow, and I have a feeling it's in lower grade steel and specially trained monkey assemblers who work for bananas. Only way i can imagine they could turn a profit. For a bargain performance case, there is nothing better out there, period.
