yes im wrong sorry, but im feeling the Coolermaster now

I would suggest you also look at the coolermaster 590. I have one and love it. Great airflow, lots of room for extra fans, cheaper than either one of the cases mentioned.

Having both cases,I would say that they both have their merits....i would suggest the cm690....

here is my build log with the CM 690 If you are curious.

it's with my sig rig and the 9800gtx is 10.5 inches long so you get an idea of how roomy the case is.

Agree. I own a 590 as well and have handled a 690 too. I personally think the 590 to be the better of the two for more reasons than just being cheaper than the 690.

The setup of the front of the case and drive bays on the 590 allows a plethora of more configuration options for drives, fans, bay devices, etc.... I also feel that it has better air flow characteristics as you don't have the sideways hd drive cage disturbing airflow from the lower fan like is present in the 690. There is an amazing amount of space in the 590 for cable management as well. It just seems to be more mod friendly at a better price.

My suggestion is that the 200mm fan at the top of the ANTEC 900 is impossible to replace with another 200mm fan maker ( Scythe YateLoon Aerocool Thermaltake etc etc ) simply because ( almost ) none make 200mm fans ( just Coolermaster and ANTEC ) , the two Exhaust 140mm fans at the top of the Coolermaster CM ( 590/690 ) are easily replaceable with another 140mm fan , the amount of exhaust Airflow developed with two 140mm fans is a bit more ( at full speed ) that the Airflow produced with a single 200mm Antec BIG Boy fan

And for sure the installation of a radiator with two 120mm fans at the top of the Coolermaster CM ( 590/690 ) is obviously more easy that install this radiator in a single 200mm grill

I added some review type pictures to the 590 thread. I though you might be interested in looking at them to get a more in-depth look at the case.
