Introduction
I would like to thank
CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.
CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but they do ship to most european countries. One of the companies of which CaseKing is the distributor for is Cooler Master, so you will surely get the lastest and greatest from that manufacturer at CaseKing.
We have the pleasure of reviewing Cooler Master's RC-690 today, which is their newest mainstream product. The case is large enough to fit any SLI or CrossFire combination and offers enough cooling for any type of hardware inside the system. This new case brings a lot of features to the mainstream, usually found in the high-end segment only. A solid internal design, a large amount of fans and fan grills and the inclusion of modern connections like eSATA round this case up quite nicely.
