    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    With the upper side panel 120mm installed as an intake, the whole CPU/RAM/NB area gets bathed in cool air, and the rear and top 120's acting as exhausts pulls any warmed air out very quickly. All exhaust air I've felt on this case even while ingame has been completely cool to the touch (other...

    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    I'll let the photos do the talking on this one: Empy case fresh out of the box Side-by-side with my SX1040. the Antec is sitting further back, height difference is more than it appears. All the hardware moved over and powered back up. The SX1040 had less than half an inch...

    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    Mine arrived this afternoon. I started taking some photos, but still need to take a few of the final build and I'll post all of them tomorrow evening. The combination of this new case and getting rid of all ribben cables really cleaned up the wiring quite nicely. My ASUS M2N32-Deluxe fit in...

    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    My case arrives from ZipZoomFly on Thursday, my new drives from NewEgg on Tuesday, and I hope my fans arrive some time before Friday as well as I can get to installing! Thanks for posting the photo with a rig installed in this case. Which fan bus is that in the case? I'm debating about...

    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    Just ordered mine. Newegg killed their Free 3-day shipping as of some time early this morning so I ended up getting it from ZipZoomFly. Going to take longer to get to me, but free shipping puts me at $49.99 for the case after rebate. I did grab a Lite-On SATA DVD burner and 320GB WD HDD from...

    My pictures of the Cooler Master 690 (the new $50 uber-case!)

    I'm headed to Fry's during lunch to check this case out for myself. I've been looking to replace my old Antec SX1040 since building my new machine a few weeks ago. The Antec will become the house file server while my new gaming rig is getting some flashier skin. My list is down to the Cooler...

    Hardware nightmare - lock ups, no-boots, no one cause/fix! HELP!

    Dang thing is offically not booting at all, powers on, but not much else. I've ruled out case short (pulled board out), video (tried two video cards, put one into a working machine to confirm it works), Hard drives (removed all drives, still nothing), RAM (tried two sticks). Guess all I've got...

    Hardware nightmare - lock ups, no-boots, no one cause/fix! HELP!

    Swapped memory sticks with a working machine so ruled RAM out. CPU is a high possiblity, but ran multiple stress tests with the 20gig which seemed like it was working great and had no errors. Which prompted me to drop the 80gig drive in thinking that would solve all these problems. Guess it's...

    Hardware nightmare - lock ups, no-boots, no one cause/fix! HELP!

    Short back story on this machine: Wife's computer, AMD 1700+ was running on a KT133a board, 120gig WD HDD, 512 SDRAM. She was going through PSU's rather quickly (6-12months). It started acting up only about 4 months after putting in a brand new Antec Smart Power 500W, while looking at it I...
