Any alternatives to CM 690 II Advanced

[Andy T]

I am thinking of using the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced for my next build primarily because my current PC uses CM 690 with good results.
With that said, are there any other alternatives in the sub $150 price range? My primary criteria is large enough to support dual 560 TX cards and PSU on the bottom.

Thanks!

I have the 690 as well and I love it. Is there anything it's lacking that want, or do you want the same feature set, but just more? There's always the HAF 932 or the Corsair 600T if you want similar internals but a different outside look.

Love my 690 II also. Both cases you mentioned are quite nice, but at or slightly above OP's price range. This one squeaks under with a rebate, though:

The Lancool's offer great bang for your buck. Kinda wishing I had this one.

The Lian Li/Lancool K62 is a great case. I loved mine. Only parted with it because I moved to liquid and it wasn't feasible for that purpose.

It originally came with a windowed side panel, but there are versions without the window if it's more to your taste.

Should be right around $100. I swapped the stock fans for Yate Loons as well, so if you did something like that it should be right around $150. Be wary of using sleeve bearing fans in the roof though, over time they will begin to fail in horizontal orientation. Mine lasted a little over a year before starting to click. Not like it was much trouble to replace them and at the price of Yates it was worth the trade-off for me. Stock fans aren't terrible, but the Yates definitely improved it a bit.

K62: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112239
-black interior, side window, top fans

K58W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112238
-no black interior, different side window, no top fans (should be able to add them, not positive here)

K60B: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112247
-no black interior, no side window, top fans

K58: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112237
-no black interior, no side window, no top fans (same as K58W, imagine you could add them)

All pretty much the same case w/ different options. Range from $69-$99
