Have you looked into the Inwin BR665? If you can get past the aesthetics or don't mind moddingit. the internal layout looks pretty good and should fit a 690.

If you are water cooling the fractal design arc mini solely for the shifted fan on top. It's a no brainer. That's your only choice. If not Define mini. Of course you are going to have to remove the HDD cages. I'm not a big fan of the silverstone cases but I'd say TJ08 but not sure if it will hold a 690.

What I say you really do is sell your current mobo and grab a sweet new z77 mitx and a bitfenix prodigy if you are already on a 1155 chip biggrin.gif

I really like the Silverstone FT03 that I own. The air flow is good with bottom mounted fans and it looks good too. Just thought I'd throw that option out there in case OP really liked how it looks.

ITX is a whole new beast, if OP wants to consider them I'd suggest looking at lian li PC-Q08, bitfenix prodigy, and the upcoming fractal node 304(would be a real ringer for air cooling). Again, this is a whole new direction almost deserving a thread in itself.

oh and thank you all for the help! since the core 1000 has such a small price it shouldn't be a hard task to buy a second case when i'm not satisfied tongue.gif
