Best PC Case of 2019? CM690 Case Mod

Ғылым және технология

Looking at the cases available today, I realized that airflow is suffering and cost is rising. I decided to mod my decade old Cooler Master CM690 to delete the 5.25" and 3.5" cages, and allow for a 360mm radiator up front.

    You know, drilling out rivets is a lot easier. And why the stained tubing?

    What kind of cutting plate did you use for the rivets?

    So here's hoping I can get a reply. But I also have a CM 690 Rev1 that I built a new system with. I literally finished up the build last week. I have toyed around with the idea to throw an AIO in the top of the case. I like your idea of fitting fans into the top of the case through the housing. I've never built with water cooling, my question to you is have you tried to fit a 140mm Radiator in the top and if so did it fit? The top fan slots can handle 140mm fans just fine so I assume a radiator should also work only problem I can think I would have is finding thin enough profile fans to fit on the top outside of the case like you did.

    Did u cut the "hexagons" in top cover to let fans stay in top?

    That reminds me.....I need to book a dental appointment......:) How did you take off the front panel? mine won't budge and I need to replace the front fan. The instructions say pull up from the bottom of the case - so far no joy!!!!

    Remove the side panels, then look for the clips on each side that need to be slid slightly outward to release. There is a grab point on the bottom, but if I remember correctly, it doesn't like to come off that way.

    I have the same exact case and I had to remove the inner most plate in the HDD bays to fit my GPU. Then again I went with an ASRock motherboard that has M.2 slots and I filled them with NVME's. The case originally shipped with a bracket/plate that would have normally been used for older floppy drives or even multi-media readers that would fit in one of the optical bay slots. If he wouldn't have cut out the optical drive bays and assuming he still had that 2.5in bracket/plate he could have fit a SSD in the bracket and just had it in the optical drive bays instead.

    this pump system is very outdated. With just over 60 bucks you can buy a modern water cooler like a Corsair Hydro Series H55 Quiet Edition (Newegg) or even a Master Cooler MasterLiquid LC240E RGB Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, 240mm Radiator for $ 75 at Amazon
