Ived just bought a CM 690 chassis today(for around 57 euros)...and man i couldnt be more happy!:P

Today i went out to my local hardware store with one idea in mind: to buy me some thermal compound and some double sided tape...i was planning to reapply thermal grease on my GPU heatsink,coz lately my temps where so high i couldnt belive(90 C in GTA IV)...but i didnt bought any thermal compund and instead ived bought a CM 690 chassis...and i couldnt be more HAPPY!!!My temps now in GTA IV dont get past 78 C...ofc ived added some fans to the chassis, a total of 7 to be more precise(all 120 mm),so maybe thats why i have low temps now :D

P.S. Ofc someone will tell me "wow you made a post to praise up ur chassis,troll,troll..." but i couldnt care less...iam so happy! :D

Just out of curiosity, how did you find the cable management capabilities of that case? Also, what fans are you using on the top of the case?

Well it was very hard trying to put all of the cables trough the wholes in the back,but that is only my fault because i dont have a modular psu :(...so yeah if you dont have a modular psu some of the cables will remain up front and will block the air flow in the case a bit.

As for the fans i have two 120 mm,1700 max. fans on the top(red led :D) cheap ones...but i have two that pumps air in(one at the bottom and one on the side)120 mm with 10 blades at 2800 rpm...

P.S. Btw my cpu temp idle is 21 C and gpu 41(fan 100%) :D
