Looks A LOT like CM 690 II?

Looks A LOT like CM 690 II?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Frick]

If the price is right that is not necessarily a bad thing. Looks good.

 

[duneworld]

I suppose having solid side panels will make it quieter than the other cases which use this design.

Looks A LOT like CM 690 II?

Also (more like the) Rosewill Blackhawk and Lepa LPC302.

I wish they got away from the mesh...

Mesh is so impossible to clean when it gets dusty, and it always ends up looking like crap after a short while.

My experience is exactly the opposite.

Looks like a re-branded 690 II to me.

Lian Li have something that looks like this....

 

[phanbuey]

My experience is exactly the opposite.

How so? How do you get the dust out from the Mesh and the foam dust filter that is embedded in it? Even with a shotback, the foam remains gray unless you actually wash it.

It is impossible to get 100% of the dust out, at least for me, and the case will never look as clean as it did the day you got it.

 

[Doomedspeed]

It does look alot like the CM 690 II, i do like the look of this more though. Would be better if it did have the big nexus logo down the side. A discrete logo would be better: thats why i prefer Lian Li.

For the most part, as long as I use a microfiber cloth to wipe it down every once in a while, and wash it periodically, they're fine.

Cm 690 II and Rosewill Blackhawk's long lost twin...

 

[TRWOV]

Looks A LOT like CM 690 II?

Most companies work from a template of already available cases from manufacturers in Asia making some modifications to get a unique look while maintaining costs. As the level of changes increases so does the price, until you eventually reach the level where a case is custom manufactured to the designer's specifications.

The Rosewill Blackhawk, CM 690 and this case seem to share a common blue-print.

I just don't like 90` front hdd cages though, all they do is block airflow from the front fans.

 

[Fx]

really nice looking case. I love the 90 degree angled HD cases cause it is much easier to access the drives. I also like the added function of reading a drive from up top

 

[ZentiX]

Wow, Nexus did realy overcome their self with this one, it is just a copy of the CM 690 II Advance. Gona bet it has crapy Airflow unless u mod it.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Gona bet it has crapy Airflow unless u mod it.

I think it will be fine.

The case has room for 4 additional fans upto 140mm, I dont know if all the fan mounts support 140mm.

you probably cant fit anything bigger then a 120mm on the back but for everything else you could fit 140mm. which should make this case quite a beast when it comes to cooling.

2x140mm Top (exhaust)
2x140mm front (Intake)
1x120/140mm bottom (next to PSU) (Intake)
1x120mm rear (exhaust)

this could make for a nice case, though i would prefer then bottom fan next to the PSU to be on the side panel so it cools both graphic cards properly when running SLi/Crossfire

So many 690 clones out there it's unreal, that thing is almost indistinguishable.

Thats how good it was

Looks A LOT like ....

Not surprising, anyone know who the OEM builders are for these companies?

90 degrees is ok. you can install hdd easily
i just dont like if they use plastic tray coz sometimes after a while plastic cant hold the cage pretty tight anymore

Hate to resurrect an old thread....but I have this case and it has proved absolutely fantastic. Just the one problem though... my external sata dock has gone faulty....I suspect it might just be down to a damaged/ faulty cable....does anybody know where I might be able to source spare parts for this?
