CM690.

Scout is too cramped. Plus there is no behind-the-backplate cable management.

Scout looks better, CM690 is more practical.

Yip, CM690 is big enough for anything.

Putting in ATX mobos and big graphics cards in the Scout is not lekker.

If the postman had PMed you some offers, consider them! I have saved some bucks before and can vouch for him.

Good luck. Remember, form<function
