Performance
The Cooler Master 690 II Basic had great intrinsic cooling which was exceptionally quiet. The temperatures were kept at reasonably low and with the option of adding many more fans, this case would become even better at cooling all the components of your desktop system.
Reviewer's Opinion
As fore mentioned, I thought that the CM 690 II basic case was extremely easy to work with as it was surprisingly spacious for a mid tower. Another reason that made the build effortless was the superior tool-less design, with the 3.5” and 5.25” drive bays as well as the large number of included thumb screws. The versatility of this 690 Basic is also definitely present, allowing you to customize the case by adding fans to almost any position in the case.
The case was extremely well built and sturdy, especially due to the huge rubber feet contacting the ground. The steel and plastic were also very strong and will definitely withstand the test of time. One great feature was that the front panel could be removed without having to worry about any cables, since these were connected the top panel. This makes it very easy to work install 5.25” drives at the snap of a finger.
I feel that this case is definitely a winner, since it has a whole plethora of features and the price point is exceptionally competitive. I couldn’t have asked for anything more in a case.
