Great support for coolers and graphics cards, Excellent water cooling support available
No eSATA port or hot swap dock like previous version, Effectively a “shinier” version of the CM690 II
So the Cooler Master CM690 III or CM693 if you don't do the roman numerals thing has been on the desk with a Play3r test rig installed for around a week now but it's that time again where I give you the low down. Is the CM690 III a worthwhile purchase an...

No robber grommets for cut-outs, Standard screws for PCI covers, Sliding cover for front panel controls could be better
It’s never an easy feat bringing to market the successor to a popular product and there are usually two avenues that manufacturers take; a complete overhaul and redesign or a subtle facelift. Today’s review of CM 690 III drops into the latter. Choosin...
We were pleasantly surprised with how the manufacturer has managed to create a product so good while maintaining a low price The CM 690 III is well made, the steel frame is solid and the finish is above average compared to competitors in the same price r...
Drive enclosures and trays able to accommodate either 2.5 or 3.5inch drives, Excellent ventilation options
Flexible drive trays do not make installing SSDs any easier, Drive trays feel a bit flimsy
The Cooler Master CM 690 III is an impressive mid-tower chassis. It has generous options for mounting up to nine cooling fans. For its top, rear and front options, the chassis is able to fit radiators of liquid cooling systems. However, the user needs to...
