Need help - which case should I pick?

[saltynay]

If you're looking for good air cooling and a sleeker, cleaner look then the 690 is a nice case as there is no window, the clue LED in the front is not that bright and the mesh with the silver trim is a classy look.

Get one!!!


Then sell it and get a lian li (the penn ultimate sleek and minimalist cases) or silverstone if you like some slight bling . Good review

I like this one for a gaming htpc:
KustomPCs.co.uk - Lian Li PC-B25B Black Case
This one is a beast of a gaming case (6x120mm + a 120mm fan for cooling pci area optional)
KustomPCs.co.uk - Lian Li A71A Silver Full Case

Anyone know how the power button is on the 690? Its placed at an awkward position on the bottom side, and i just wanted to know if it is good.

i find its alright, but then again, my computer is on the desk next to me...all depends on where u are placing ur compy. some people say the switch is flimsy, its not. it just has a bit of give before it gets to the actual switch and its not gonna break any time soon. the tooless PCi slots are perfectly fine. ive got my 9800gtx+ in there and i move my compy around a lot to lans and i give it a beating, and it hasnt moved one millimeter.
thats my 0.02 on it. +1 for coolermaster for its pure style.

Nice, so you like your 690?

id get the cm 690, has great airflow (6 120mm) and great wire management, has the hole next to the psu... also has a sweet green window


and i love my 690 best mid tower imo. and power button is kinda in a weird position but still works fine and wont break anytime soon.

Yeah, I think I'm going to get the NV 690. I like the the green LED and the green window. I'm pretty convinced to get it, everyone is saying its a great case. I looks like the best one out there for under $100.

You should post some picks of your rig.
