You have really nice fan controller, but I don't understand why do you use internal optical drive in a superb case like Cosmos S?!

This thing is completely unnecessary these days and if you already have the money for Cosmos S, buyin' the external optical drive won't be a problem for you.

I think that the internal optical drive can really disfigure the look of a cool case and my case look 50% better without that silly ancient component. See for yourself...

Really? How is this "completely unnecessary"? Almost all of the software we buy today is still in an optical format, not to mention DVDs/Blu-ray movies. You would prefer an external? I think 99% of all users have an internal optical drive on their rig.

Oh and BTW...Welcome to TPU!!! :toast:

I'm all about aesthetics when it comes to the PC chassis. The internal optical drive look good in a chassis from HAF series or in the low budget "box" chassis, but in a chassis like CM 690, CM 690 II & Cosmos S it looks just wrong becouse of the mesh in the front and slight oval shape of the chassis.

I love techPowerUp! and their chassis reviews. They are so nice and simple with high quality photos. I buy my CM 690 over HAF 922 after I read the awesome techPowerUp! review.

Thanks for the welcome!

I know that and that's the reason why I've decided to buy this baby...

Gilletter · Feb 13, 2011

Here is a picture of my new case (don't mind the wiring fiasco - wires weren't going to go how I wanted them to go!)

kontaminiran · Feb 13, 2011

What's wrong with your GPU dude? It looks like it's gonna fall off!

it's always sat like that since I've first had it, it's completely connected and no problems... I think it's how the connectors connect into it and pull it down at the corner

Quite a selection you got there. Please excuse me while I drool on my keyboard.

Radical_Edward · Feb 14, 2011

Mods, if you could merge all of snake_ph's posts, that would be awesome.

kontaminiran · Feb 14, 2011

snake_ph, where did you get the money for so many kickass computers? I'm jealous!

Mussels · Feb 15, 2011

merge complete. use the edit button next time, snake_ph

ShiBDiB · Feb 15, 2011

690 representttttttt

snake_ph · Feb 15, 2011

oops sorry about that

Bigpapa42 · Mar 7, 2011

My CM HAF X case came in on Friday, so I guess I would now qualify. No build yet, but hopefully soon.

Kast · Mar 15, 2011

Add me

brandonwh64 · Mar 15, 2011

I just noticed that i am not in this club, I kinda want to sell my HAF 932 tho. i was interested in a NZXT vulcan

Radical_Edward · Mar 16, 2011

It's understandable. The HAF series are a bit too rough for some, and NZXT cases can be pretty nice looking.

When it comes down to it at the moment I can't justify replacing my CM 690. Just not enough reason for it.

Edit, I'll get the clubhouse members list updated soon, I've been putting it off for a while now and it's gotten to the point where I'll need to take some time out of my day to tackle it.

Edit #2, Got everyone added that wanted to be.

Gallatin · Mar 20, 2011

any space for a stacker 832se????

MightyMission · Mar 24, 2011

ok so i would like to be added to the club, i do have a cooler master chassis,what i dont have is a clue what model it is!
dimensions are: 205mm W,440 mm H,480 mm D
its all aluminium and did come with some waved extrusions that covered the front as you can see from the bottom at the front (which isnt removable without leaving rough edges) but
1) the lower fan was blocked by years of crap filling the rear or the extrusion/front of fan holes
2) the upper waves extrusion covered the power/reset switches and drive bays
3) it looked crap with them on

it looks like this:

Edit:
apparently its a cooler master mystique 631

freebie · Mar 24, 2011

I'd like to be added, i have a cooler master 430.

Undead46 · Mar 24, 2011

I originally had a HAF 922, but sold er' off and now repping a HAF X.

Too bad my top and side fan's are a little messed up... Hopefully CM can replace em.
