(More customer reviews)There's been a lot of speculation in forums that this revision of the very popular CM 690 is just a minor update with some black paint inside.Nothing could be further from the truth.I upgraded my wife's PC a year ago, and used the CM 690.It was perfectly nice, for a mid-tower. My own PC is in the Cooler Master ATCS 840 -- the best case I've ever seen -- but my wife's PC is in a location where a huge full tower case just won't go.The single feature that caught my eye in the initial announcements of this new version was full dust filters.We have a cat, and cat hair is the most evil thing that can happen to a PC.A co-worker was about to try his first PC build, so I offered him the CM 690 case and used that as an excuse to get the new model.With both cases side-by-side and opened up, I was amazed at the differences.Every piece, and every detail, has been rethought and upgraded.Some of the improvements are too little for the ads to even mention, but show Cooler Master's attention to detail.As one tiny example, two of the motherboard standoffs have a little protrusion.You use them for the back corners of the motherboard.When you fit the motherboard in place, the protrusions go up into the mounting holes and hold the motherboard exactly in position with all the mounting holes exactly lined up over their standoffs.You don't have to hold the motherboard in position with one hand while getting the initial screws in.A minor little enhancement, but really neat and something I've never seen before and never heard of.The tool-less harddrive carriers have been changed from the previous version, and are now just like the ones in the ATCS 840.There's a special carrier for 2.5" drives (e.g. SSDs) in one of them.Another minor tweak is a switch to turn the blue leds on the front fan on or off.Have it whichever way you prefer.With the previous version, a little surgery would have been necessary to turn it off.The built-in dock on the top is another very nice little feature.The CM 690 was a nice mid-tower case that's proven very popular.The CM 690 II Advanced is far better.I recommend it highly.
