Yes it ca fit. I own a CM690 and look at the space between my GTX285 and the case :
The HD5970 is only 3-4cm longer so its not a problem. Tight fit, but fit ! im pretty sure.

if thats the way GTX285 is in the 690.. the 5970 will never fit because the gtx285 is "only" 27.5cm long while the 5970 is 34cm

Lol...
This is just the problem I'm having, nobody seems to know for sure.
And in every review I've read, the length of the card seems to vary...or rather peoples measurements of the card vary, it ranges from 31.7 to 34cm

Doesn't look like it will fit, or if it will it'll be VERY close. Remember you need room for the PCI-E plugs on the side of the card too. I had to take out the middle HDD rack for it to fit in my Antec 902.
Well I've had notice today that my card is shipping soon, so I guess I'll find out soon. I will update this thread once I know.

Well as nobody seemed to know, I can now exclusively reveal that you CAN fit a Radeon 5970 into a CoolerMaster 690
Its tight but it fits with a cm or two to spare, and no moddification needed in my case
