The Cooler Master 690 Club - Page 1728

post #17271 of 18645
Hi all.... was in a computer shop in Germany at the weekend... came across an original CM690 that was being sold new... they had a few of them and were still asking 80Euros. Naturally I left slightly bemused!

80 euros = 102.16 dollars = rip, considering the age of the classic model. How about $53.75 on http://www.aztekcomputers.com, that's only 42.09 in euros. Wow you would have paid double what its worth... Good thing you walked out without a purchase! thumb.gif

I am still experimenting with fan configurations and color schemes still have a bit of work to do..

thanks for the reply:thumb: im ordering

1xNZXT 120MM for Exhaust
2x NZXT 140MM for Top
2x Arctic Cooler F12 PWM for my 212Evo

and for the front fan, im planning on the Aerocool Shark White Edition 120mm x 25mm High Air Pressure Fan w/ White LEDs since they look nice and the specs are good. I think this is the cheapest combo i can get for my color scheme.

waaay over priced for that side window. Its also outside the case panel...not the cleanest look imo. I ordered mine on TD for an extra Jackson with my case..and modded it to not have the fan option for another $15.

Your not just paying for a side window tho... Its the epic customer service and custom tweaking performance-pcs is know for that you will be purchasing. I bought a Thermaltake eSports Armor A30 from them about a year ago for a client and they totally customized the entire thing for me. Carbon fiber inlays, sound dampening, CCFLs, ODD & switch panel pre installed, cable sleeving, and tinted side panel windows for $150 extra. thumb.gif

I think this type of window is the best for modders. Its easily removable and easy to clean. In track windows are a pain, they are almost impossible to remove w/o buying new u molding or dinging up the nice plexiglass, and why wouldn't you want the option of a quick uninstall? Those of us who are constantly in our cases no the benefit of quick release, its invaluable 99% of the time.

They funny thing is they don't even offer half that stuff, all I had to was ask and they said NO PROBLEM[/I!] Great communication, unparalleled customer assistance, and custom tailored upgrades upon request. They got my business. I'm sure if your one of those people who want to do it all yourself then its not for you. When it comes to my own rigs that's how I am too. But for clients and the non-DIY buyers, it's a no brainer. doh.gif
