CM 690 Dressed in White
Cooler Master's CM 690, one of the most popular mid-tower cases in Europe, has yet another special-edition variant. This time, the company designed a case, that uses white with a dash of chrome as its colour-theme. CM made changes to the side panel of this case, it lacks the fan mount-holes. Also used, are more silent fans in comparison to the ones on the base-model. Originally slated for a CeBIT launch, Cooler Master put the project under wraps. PCGH has learned that the case could be released in May. For more pictures, head over to the PCGH Gallery here.

I still like my black CM690 more.:)
If you are actually someone who USES them - it's a total mess having USB / eSata / Firewire / Audio jacks sticking out from the top of the case in a big wirey mess. (Although to defend the Audio jack it is nice if you are using headphones)
eSATA cables are also always rather short and it is a tall case - making it VERY impractical to actually USE the top port.. (Unless eSATA Flash drives became a bit more popular).
PS - the USB ports are DIRECTLY side by side so unless EVERY usb device you own is exactly 1 port wide you can almost never use both ports at the same time. USB devices are almost ALWAYS WIDER than a usb port - but they are only as tall as one so that the ports can be stacked on top of eachother without conflicting - but this case seems to have ignored the concept of actually using USB ports completley.
Still, ports aside I have a Black one and Digg It :)
Too bad it is just a re-painted version of an old design :laugh:
