No room for 12inch videocards unless you remove the lower four hard drive bays.
The 1200RPM stock cooling may be a bit lacking for more demanding users
You can't use standard 80mm fans in the right side panel and VGA bracket
They have to be slim 15mm models
Side panels require a lot of force to be removed
Not enough dust filters
No sound dampening material
May be too tall for any location other than floor
Expansion card retaining latches incompatible on some video cards
While the is still available for just shy of , the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced does a lot to justify its extra £20. The vast amount of customisation and flexibility when it comes to cooling (supporting up to ten fans, or six and two dual 120mm radia...

Although I had high hopes for my ability to access the back of the motherboard unfortunately just like the Scout I cannot remove my CPU cooler without removing the whole motherboard. It was a good try though, but that is probably my fault for sticking ...
I was not quite sure what to expect when I first pulled the 690 II out of the box. I have made it no secret that I am no fan of sequels. Building a new product and basing it upon an older, yet highly successful product, is most definitely a recipe for...
The Cooler Master 690 II Advance builds on a tradition of quality and quantity started with the original 690. At a price point of $99 for the 690 II Advance, we feel that CM has created a wonderful product that will not disappoint. While some may arg...

The Cooler Master 690 II Advanced has several features that a top quality chassis should have, and it is apparent that Cooler Master put the time and effort into designing a chassis that will appeal to not only the masses but to the enthusiasts and gam...
The Cooler Master 690 II Advanced case is extremely well designed. It really shows that a lot of effort went into the design of this case. Installation of everything went exceptionally smooth. I changed the location of a few of the fans, and added a c...
Cooler Master CM 690 II is one of the most complete mid-tower cases around, targeted towards ventilation. We couldn’t find any real weakness on this case: it is a very-well constructed case with a terrific cost/benefit ratio that will please average...
The original CM 690 was a success and there is no doubt in my mind that this second iteration will also sell like hotcakes. Of course, there is no perfect product out there, but the CM 690 II Advanced isn't far from one. The case only has a few minor...
