My 690 comes in on tuesday...I'm planning on stripping the case apart first thing and putting down a nice coat of semi gloss black on the interior

Where did you get it for $40? I looked at several places and it's more like 50-60 after shipping and all that, even after the MIR.
I just got mine today also. Yeah I didn't get the plastic push pins either.
Is there a list of PSUs that fit the case as far as cabling goes? This is my first case with a bottom mounted PSU.
What do you guys think about those tool-less pci and pci-e clips; mine don't hold some boards very well; I prefer to have the video card held tight?
I would also like to know if there is a list of PSUs that have long enough cables for this case. I am looking at the Corsair 550 Watt PSU>

I have the corsair hx520, I'll do a quick test fit today to see if everything is long enough once fedex drops mine off. After that it's going straight to the garage for a stripdown and paint If it doesn't fit...well jeez, im not keeping this case!
The HX520s cables are fine. The 4 pin 12V for the CPU is close if you route it behind the mobo tray but more than long enough. I'll get some pics of mine up sometime today maybe.
I plan to route everything behind the motherboard tray...not one cable will be left exposed.
Thats what I did to too. The cables are more than long enough. Soon as I get batteries for the my Digi cam I'll throw up some pics.
That, sir, is a pretty good idea!My 690 comes in on tuesday...I'm planning on stripping the case apart first thing and putting down a nice coat of semi gloss black on the interior
i agree, no problems locking in my GTS with the tooless system. makes a nice audible click when the mechanism engages.
really I thought my 8800 was going to fall out. I couldn't get either that or my X-Fi to lock down right.
m3ta1head, with those round cables cable-tied to the back of the mobo "tray" are you able to get your case closed? with my bulbous modstream cables there's no way i can tie anything to the back like you have, the side panel will not fit.
It took some effort, but yeah, I got the side panel on securely. It bulges ever so slightly from the middle because the panel is a little flimsy, but other than that, it's perfectly fine.
I'll take some full case shots today when I get home.
hrmmm.... must... resist...corsair...psu....rebates.....aren't.....sales.....rebates.....aren't.....sales.....
laffo, I paid full price for this hx520...I don't even slightly regret it.
uncola-cool man, I think the corsair hx520/620 and this case were a match made in heaven
Ut oh. I lost the award?
Can't wait to see the outcome of this....I'm planning on stripping the case apart first thing and putting down a nice coat of semi gloss black on the interior
m3ta1head what is that card you have installed under your video card? is it a tv card? also what is up with your soundcard.. I don't see it plugged into a slot. is it some kind of front audio port thing? I don't see any cables plugged into it
