This was my first "normal" case too, sold it to my best friend after a few years of use and mods. |

I thought that I would add a couple of more pictures. A better one of the side view, not as bright. And a top view. I had replaced the top when I discovered that Cooler Master was offering a USB 3.0 instead of the eSATA connections a couple of years back. I had also replaced the start button with a Blue Illuminated Vandal Resistant "Momentary" Switch from FrozenCPU. Which required some over drilling the original hole. Worked out nicely! You will also notice that I painted the silver trim to black, I like the look a lot better. If anyone is curious, the vendors that I used were Newegg, PerformancePCS, FrozenCPU, Tiger Direct, Sidewinder Computers, Cooler Guys and Micro Center. The primary vendor for the water cooling was PerformancPCS, excellent customer service people there. I will order on line like most people, but if I can call and speak with someone that's a major plus. Thanks again, Tedsworld |

Hello all, I guess I will add my rig now, been a member since 2012, but I never officially joined the The Cooler Master 690 Club....until today. I bought my CM 690 II Advanced back in May 2011. Originally the 690 II started out with a Corsair H50, Intel Core i5-750 (later hanged to a Intel Core i7-870), Corsair Dominator 2 x 2 GB sticks, a Zotac GeForce 220 GPU, a Asus P7P55D Deluxe MB, and lots of fans. Over the years I kept adding and subtracting parts, hardware and began to mod my 690 II. All instruction I gleaned from reading forums (Overclock especially), images, PC mags, etc. I don't or didn't personally know anyone that I could ask question of. Anyway, as my rig began to morph and evolve, I decided to name her Evolution. As I said I'm pretty much self taught, I made some mistakes, but at least they weren't costly ones. I'll list below all the components currently in my Evolution. I have a lot of pictures that I took over the course of the 690's morphogenesis, I'm just not that good of a photographer. Also, I'm not a gamer, never had the time to really get into it, nor have I ever overclocked it. So basically this rig is a extremely over built productivity machine, that I watch videos and listen to my music on. More recently I did a little bit more cable management and added some LED strip lights. These four pics don't reflect that. I apologize for be wordy...............

I have used this , various times for modding front/top I/O panels of cases that needed USB3.0 Needs some measuring and some soldering, though. If you don't care about having "stock" looks, you can always use the screw mounted ones : http://www.ebay.ie/itm/USB-3-0-Dual-Female-with-Screw-Mount-to-Motherboard-20pin-Header-Cable-50cm-/272259421879?hash=item3f63ed16b7:g:D5wAAOSwtnpXjcDe ( they can be also found in black color ) or this : http://www.ebay.ie/itm/USB-3-0-Female-Flat-Cable-to-20-Pin-Header-Motherboard-Dual-Port-Cable-Adapter-/272233452932?hash=item3f6260d584:g:PXUAAOSwn9lXKDrd (if the in-between distance is same with the cutouts on your plastic panel. |

| BLAMM0 | You should visit the CM shop, but not sure if they have anything for the mk1 of this case, I saw some top covers for the second generation, that had usb 3.0 instead of e-sata. |
