hi, iv bin looking at cases for a couple days now and i cant make up my mind. Maby you can help me with some pros and cons of them. Narrowed it down to these two. I dont really care about usb 3.0. All im really trying to do is cool down my Gpu. so the more fans the better i presume?!

leaning towards the CM690 II because its cheaper an holds more fans. Anything i need to know? has the fractal Arc got better cable management?

I have a Fractal Design Define XL and it is the best case I ever Had. Quality Materials and good cable management for their cases. Also check out the Antec 900 series if you are looking for some serious cooling at a good price.

The Coolermaster case is really good. I went with an Antec 902 because I wanted a big fan on top and I don't have much room on the sides so for me case positioning was an important factor. It also helped finding a used one at less than half the price.
