Hey Ive been looking around for a nice case that can suck all the hot air out of my PC when its busy working its magic. I was going to buy the Antec Nine Hundred but then I saw the Coolermaster CM 960 with the side panel window. (http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&id=2908) I have a q6600 with a XFX 9800GT and a 550w PSU. Does anyone else think this case is pretty decent? or if there is anything better in more or less of the same price range?

Ive been emailing stores the whole morning trying to find somewhere that has stock. Cause I really want it by Friday so I can take it to a LAN :D Does anyone know where I could get it asap? or anything else pretty similar.
 
hey i have a cm 690, i love it!!! the fans are brilliant and i cant even hear them!!! dont even think about just go but it!! check out zones (in durban)??? or digital addiction i always get good service from itai...just google them.
 
I have the cm690 (no side window) what I like most is that space is not a problem, only problem I found is that the front fan uses a custom plastic fan tray with filter but does not screw on tightly(maybe only my case) but i've used silicone pegs instead of screws and now it's snug and anti-vibrational.

I have the Raidmax Smilodon, great case, looks good, excellent build quality and comes with 5 fans.
 
The Antec 900 is a really really nice case. Not only is it really wide (205mm), it also has a huge 140mm fan on the top as well as a 120mm in the rear with an optional 120mm in the front too. It also has a side slot if I'm not mistaken.
 
So it looks like Ive made a kinda good choice going with the CM 690 anyone know where I could buy it from right now?
 
The problem with the CM 690 though is since the power supply goes at the bottom of the case you need to make sure your cables will reach to where they need to go, like the 4pin connector is normally right by the CPU.
 
Nothing wire and heat shrink can fix :D Ive thought about it but theres not many nice cases with the PSU in the top left.

For LAN gaming its excellent! Although I must say the CM960 looks quite nice...
 
the HAF 932 Cooler master is rather Fugly but other than that it does the job - I settled for the Comsos S - beats the HAF by FAR!!!
the CM690 is a budget case and i must say its also DAMN nice
