which one should i go with.. excluding the price difference. i dont mind that.
if you happen to suggest something thats even better of a choice and close to a hundred bucks feel free to throw out ideas.. these two cases just happened to catch my eye real strongly.thanks for the help
 
The CM690 looks to be a great case, and it's cheaper.
The Antec 900 offers a hell of a lot of air flow, if that's something you're looking for. But, with that, it pulls in a lot of dust.

I like the look of the CM690, and I own the Antec 900 and it's been great to me.
I'd say go with the Antec, but I'm biased, as I've never had my hands on the 690.



PS: After looking more into that 690... I dunno man... I might have to pick one of those up for myself.
 
yeah i know what you mean, but seeing as, like you said, own the case and can say its good is a help to me so thanks man. ill keep it in mind...the dust attraction is a turn off though..but i admit im greatly an enthusiast so i dont mind opening it up every so often to clean it out.. guess it outweighs itself to a non issue.
 
I definitely prefer the 690 out of those choices. The Coolermaster Centurion 590 is also a great choice; it uses the same internal chassis as the 690, except instead of having 3.5" bays in the front, it has 9 5.25" bays taking up the entire panel and a drive cage that takes up 3 of the bays and holds 4 HDs. I have one and it's a great case. Either that or the 690 would be my choice.
 
I had the Nine Hundred and it was a dust machine + PITA for cable management. Go for the 690. Unless you want superb cooling, go for the Antec Nine Hundred.

Another vote for the Centurion 590, I don't own one but have heard enough good about it that I am ordering one tomorrow. It's cheap, its the size I need and has great fan mounting options.
 
I have a 690 downstairs and a 900 upstairs.

Antec looks nicer and cools better, Cooler Master is easier to wire up and mount everything.
