Value and Conclusion

	The Cooler Master RC-690 costs $79.99 US Dollars or 69.90€. This makes this case a true steal, considering its features
	Great engineering inside the case Large enough, even for the biggest graphic cards Very quiet operation Three large fans included Great price Easy cable routing possible Vibration dampening where possible. Absolutely no vibrations Mainboard headers with Molex adapters on all fans Side panels can be removed easily All front I/O possibilties included Well placed PSU A whooping four additional fans can be installed More then enough screws included Very informative packaging
	Not competely screw-less Power LED connector may not fit every board. Top I/O and front buttons may be hard to reach No removable mainboard tray
9.5	Cooler Master has done it again. Not only have they impressed with their new high-end Cosmos, but also with the mainstream RC-690. The case has a lot of very useful features and additions which are usually not found in cases which cost less than 100 US Dollars or more. The only downside is the optical drive installation, which is not completely screwless. The engineering within the case is ingenious for such a price range, as simple additions like the clips to route cables or screws placed inside the case, are very useful features. You even have the choice to get the RC-690 with a side window for an additional 5 €, to show off that clean cable management and your hardware at a LAN party.
