Just wondering what different peoples opinions were on these cases?
The only difference I can really see would make a difference is, whilst slightly cheaper, the CM 690 comes with only 2 fans out of a possible 7, whereas the slightly more expensive NZXT Tempest comes with all (i think) 7 case fans.
I dont really want to spend more than £80 on a case so im leaning towards the Tempest simply do I dont have to spend more money buying more fans.
What do you all think?
 
After doing some researching I think I've decided to go with the CM690 (after seeing all your amazing efforts on the CM690 thread :D)
 
I think that was a good choice :) I wish CM made more silver aluminum cases, though. Too few options available.
 
My secondary system is in a CM-690. I've done a few minor mods, like removing some of the plastic in front of the fans (front and top). Eventually I guess I may even water-cool that system, though I'll need 120x120x20mm fans for the top (to go under the mesh). Overall I really like the 690, for it's size. (and I just realized it's one of 4 cases I own - all made by Cooler Master) :)
 
Thanks for the input guys, seems to be a very good case from what I can gather.
Will be ordering soon :D
