Cooler Master 690 II Advanced

[Utnorris]

Nice mid-tower case.

I can't think of any high-end case capable of fitting 5x140mm+3x120mm fans (mine has 4x140mm+1x120mm and costs more than 3 times) for awesome air cooling while bringing the noise down.
The only con is that it can't host a 5970 by 0.5".
6x3.5 + 4x5.25 bays are pretty awesome numbers for a sub $100 mid-tower case as well.

It can if you remove the modular HD cage and use a lower PCIe slot.

Yeah but the main problem is that only the four cages at the bottom can be removed (first two remain fixed), and in most of X58 boards only the 1st and 3rd (or 2nd and 4th) PCI-e are x16 (and only the 1st or 2nd PCi-e are in P55 ones).



You'll need to place it in the 6th or 7th slot. The smart move would have been making removable the first 1/2/3/4 cages, making possible even a 5970 CF@x16/x16 (losing the dual rad at bottom possibility). But then maybe you shouldn't been looking for a cage at this price.
