CM690 2* 120.2's fully internal

[02wrxgt30r]

Well im bored at work so I figured now would be a good time to start a thread on the CM 690 im building! Right now I am modding the case to fit two 120.2 rads fully internal no fans hanging out grills or anything!!! this has presented a couple of challenges as you will know if you have a 690 lol

The first rad is in the front of the case and I had to do quite a bit of hacking to make that work and the second will be in the top of the case

as far as hardware plans are I am planning for a RIIE and core I7 of course and GTX video not sure which ones yet or other hardware but want a computer for all kinds of games and ready for the release of W7 and SC2 if its ever released

Will ad pics when I get home just to prove it

That should be sweet for sure. I used to have a CM 690, it will be quite a challenge. Looking forward to pics.

Sorry for the crappy pics dont know whats up with that but the front rad is complete and im still working on the top its going to be a tight fit thats for sure lol







let me know what you think

Looks good. Gonna be a tight fit.

You should move this over to the project logs.

how would I go about getting it moved?

how would I go about getting it moved?

You could ask a mod to either move it or delete it and start a new one in the worklogs section

Nice, i did the same but didnt cut out as much for my front rad.
Good thing is i could always cut out more if needed.

Also i cut out the front with everything still inside my case
Mobo, watercooling gear and all.

Cant wait to see how yours turns out.

[02wrxgt30r]

dang that took some guts w/everything still in the case

Iv never been into computer gaming but iv never really had a good computer so I had this case just sitting around so I figured y not

[sirheck]

Its a nice case, a little bigger than your standard mid-tower.
Good luck and post some pics when its all done.:0

[02wrxgt30r]

I will do there should be some more pics and progress up tomorrow I think I am going to leave the exterior black and paint the mesh "sublime lime green metallic" that is the color of the new green dodge chargers

[02wrxgt30r]

If any mods see this can you move it to the liquid cooled build logs Thanks

[02wrxgt30r]

sorry guys no pics last night should get some up tonight got the top cut out and have to make some brackets here at work today so hopefully I can get it installed tonight

on the hardware side I am trying to decide between RIIE or P6T7 what do you think

[metachronos]

R2E for sure, there's no way your gonna use 7 pci-e slots.

[02wrxgt30r]

ya thats for sure thats alot of slots and plus I think the RIIE looks better anyway
