Mid Sized Computer Case for thick radiator

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
I am looking for a new computer case for my setup. I have the antec 620 cpu cooler, i added another fan to the radiator so its thicker.

On the case i currently have it does fit in any of the fan slots because its too thick and hits other components i have to mount it where my drive bays are. Im looking for a good mid tower that has good airflow preferably 2 fans in the front and 2 on top and a good place with room to mount my radiator,

one i found is the rosewill r5 but it just seems very plane

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147161&Tpk=rosewill%20r5

Any suggestions for cases that will work well with this?

How many fan slots down the 690II have? i looked it up on newegg only says what fans it comes with. The reason i like the r5 is because of the selection of fan holes. Looks like the 690II has 2 on the bottom 1 on front and 2 on top?

Shouldn't really matter if your intakes are in the front or bottom. As long as u have proper cool air coming in from the bottom and/or front and exhausting hot air from back and/or top then its all good.

The CM690II has the available options for 2x Left Side 120/1400mm or smaller, 1x Right Side 80mm, 1x Back 120mm, 2x Top 140mm, 1x Front 140mm Blue LED, 2x Bottom 120mm. If that's not enough fans for you then I suggest putting giant fans all over the walls in your room for a wind tunnel effect. LOL.

Here's a video. This is the OLDER version. Newer version has bigger cutout from the mobo tray and grommets for the cable management slots and the positions for the slots are a little different as well. Also has USB 3.0 support. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGvBjEmXJnI

New version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119259 and http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=3092&product_name=CM%20690%20II%20Advanced%20(USB%203.0%20version)
