Abstract: We really like both system cases discussed in this review. Perhaps not ideal, the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced and Zalman MS1000-HS2 are very good products that support a wide range of computer configurations. Each of them allows to customize its ventilation system and can cope with a large number ..
Lots of working room, Good tool-free installation options, Plenty of cooling options, External HDD bay, Stylish design with all-black interior, Enough cable management features, No sharp edges inside, Support for 240mm radiator in top and/or bottom, Overall build quality is very good, Stock fans are very quiet, Bottom half of HDD cage can be removed, LED fan light can be turned off
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

After going over the features and specifications of the CM 690 II Advanced chassis prior to the review, I had high hopes for the case. I wasn't disappointed. Cooler Master has taken the 690 design to the next level in virtually all the important area...
Spacious interior, Black matte finish, Painted Interior, Ability for mounting water gear, Very attractive styling, X-Dock built in, Power Buttons on top of case.
CoolerMaster has realized the desires of their customers and has reworked one of the most popular CM cases on the market today. We touched on many of the major highlights of the CM690II but when compared to the original CM690 you quickly realize that...
