    Post pics of your Thermaltake Armor or Cooler Master 690.

    need some ideas for a good case. And i came to these, but i would like to see the amount of space in both of them. So if you have either please post it. Looks like the 690 can barely hold a GTX. So it might not fit any future cards.
