I bought this case so that in the far future if I want to I can add water cooling to my rig. This one happens to also look very cool, the green is way better looking than the blue led fans. I also bought this to be able to hold my blu-ray library, which takes up 5 hard drives.

The right side cover is a tight fit after installing an 80mm Zalman fan. Other than that this case is a quality case that looks good. I don't like stickers and Graphics all over my computer so I was very happy to find the there was no drill required to remove the NVidia and Coolmaster badging from the front. This case easily fit an ATI 4870 graphics card.

This is a cool case. I don't really like the big logos on the front, but the colour scheme is nice and I like the side window. There's plenty of room in this thing to go SLI if you want to. Cooling is good at stock with 3 fans, but there's room to add a bunch more. Nvidia fans should definately get this case... it's cool.

I'm pretty happy with this case, power supply on the bottom is a good idea(lowers the centre of gravity), cable management is kinda cool with a bit of fiddling.Like the case top USB, Esata ect.. Good Cooling, add a couple of more fans and you are set.. Installed ASUS P5Q-e no problem, quiet and cool with fans supplied.

The NV-690 case is an excellent case in many aspects. First, it has an OK price, but it can be found on sale or pricematched. From the money you save, buy yourself 2 more fans for the top (120-140mm both fit). The mobo screws are not bagged, but come along the side of the optical drive, which i found pretty neat. If you're an Nvidia fanboy, this is for you. The case itself isn't too flashy compared to the 900. It stands out, but not distracting. The case has rubber grommets for water cooling, and instead of installing two fans on the top, you can throw in a radiator. The PSU is on the bottom and it draws air from right underneath the case, which is good, but don't sit your case on carpet because the dust will draw right in. It's rather big, and could definitely fit large GPUs. The tool-less design is alright, but be careful when pulling out the HDD trays, they tend to break easily. The reset/power buttons feel sorta funny because they push in on an agle. All in all, a great case for a great price, with the potential to hold really powerful components.

This case has very good airflow and looks very nice. It is more than large enough for 3 gtx 280's. I would recommend buying a few more 120mm fans for the top because all the hot air from the processor rises up and needs to be ventilated out. Overall its a good case!

Love this case! Lots of room inside worked well for me with 8800gt 2 pci cards no problem. Nice green glow on the front from the case fan.

Decided I needed a larger case and went for the 690, mostly for its sleek appearance. It is definitely roomy inside, but I found that the cable management clips got in the way. I had to remove a couple so my video card (9800GTX+) would fit. However, that's a minor quibble as the overall quality of the case is excellent.

I bought this case for a friend of mine and he has no problem with it so far. I own a regular 690 so I knew it was a good case.
