Does anyone own CM690 III case, opinions please?

Banana-Man · Oct 16, 2016

hi guys, i really like the look of this case and it seems quite a popular one. Is it easy to work with for a first time builder, is airflow in the case good for keeping temperatures down? I know the case is a few years old, i hope it won't be a problem putting modern hardware in there. If anyone has experience with the case please let me know what you think...

If you like the looks of the case then buy it your the one that has to look at the case you buy every day.
Their nothing wrong with the case has adequate cooling and no harder to build in than any other case.

I own the very first version of the case, the CM 690. I've been using it for 9 years now, and it has gone through many different components. Airflow is good, fits a wide range of components, etc. Cable management options could be better, but it's not terrible.

All that being said, looking at the new iii version it looks like they improved the cable management a lot. The cutouts have rubber grommits installed, the hole in the MB tray is nice and large. They removed a bunch of 5.5" bays and replaced with 2.5" bays which is nice. Better radiator compatibility, better dust filters.

Overall it looks like the changes they made fixed what I really didn't like about the first version. Of course I still use the first version so even those weren't deal breakers.
