Coolermaster has a long reputation of designing high quality coolers and back in the day their cases were only available as premium cases. I owned two Coolermaster ATC220 cases and they were pretty awesome. Nowadays Coolermaster offers a wide range of cases for all sorts of budgets. Ranging from the higher end RAF chassis to the more plastic and steel like cases, such as the one we are looking at today. It’s called the Coolermaster CM 690 with a price tag of around 65 euro’s its fairly cheap. The Coolermaster CM690 we are looking at is the stock version, but there are also versions available with different types of powersupplies and an optional sidepanel with a window.
"When looking at the CM 690, it’s easy to be taken in by its bold lines and superb styling. But don’t let its exterior fool you – the CM 690 is a lot more than just a pretty face. By utilizing a unique mesh design, the CM 690 effectively blends together both form and function, offering users a mid-tower chassis without compromise."
