CM 590 is out

[vengance_01]

Not sure if many know about this, but Coolermaster must have launched it recently. for 69$, and little to no modding this case can fit a triple rad in front, but you would have to remove HD cage and mount it in the bottom in from of the PSU. Still I think for 70$ this case is a steal. Also should be pretty easy to get a double 120 at the top as well.

That looks really good. And it is so cheap! I still prefer the CM690, however. I think it looks better, and it is bigger.

yeah not bad

as the dollor converts to sterling its a damn good price too, but out tax man will get rid of that inside ... 17.5% purchase tax usually eats away any difference

i like the fact it has 3 exhaust fan ports immediately by the processor (top right above cpu, back and side)

That´s a nice case, but 690 is good enough, let´s work in new models now CM :D

cool case...but i still like my 690 better....

I agree, 690 owner myself, but that case is the cheapest case with no modding needed to fit a triple Rad in the front. 690 is for air-coolers and the 590 is better for people who need a nice cheap case for W/Cing.

Just so you know, the only differences between a CM690 and a Centurion RC-590 are:

RC-590 doesn't have the top plastic bezel, and I think CM tidied the top up a shade, since it's now metal, rather than covered by a bezel as on the CM690.
On the RC-590, it has top-to-bottom 5.25" drive bays, with a 3-to-4 3.5" HDD cage.
The RC-590 lacks the bottom 120mm intake fan (which 90% of people don't use anyway.


Aside from that, the CM 690 and the Centurion 590 are identical.

And yeah, considering you're saving an extra $10-20 over a CM690 (depending on where you buy it from), for the loss of 1 HDD and 1 120mm fan, I'd say it's a pretty damn nice case.

How many of those case holes can you fit 140mm fans on?

Top two exhausts and the two on the side panel.

Nice, I am definitely picking one up in the near future then. I was looking at a 690, but I really like the variability of the front of this one.

Do the top fans have any height limitations?

Probably 25mm. I don't know for sure.

Anything thicker than 25mm and you're going to be hitting the top of your motherboard.

Yea stick to 25mm fans. Yate Loon 140mm fans FTW!!

Since I'm still in the quest for a computer case, as I'm having a really tough decision being able to choose one, so far I am liking the looks of this case. It seems to be able to give me what I was looking for, the key component being the 120mmx2 fans on the top.

Has anyone actually purchased one of these, and was able to install a 2x120mm Radiator on the top with little to no difficulty? I really am inept at those kinds of things and don't have the technical skill / tools to be able to mod it otherwise. If someone could let me know that'd be great!

[vengance_01]

no but I have been thinking about getting one and trying to fit a triple rad in the front.:D

[Got_Vtec?]

ill stick to my 900 lol im not a big stacker fan for some reason....dont bash me to bad lol
