So, few years back I bought a Cooler Master Cosmos full-tower. Can't remember the exact model name, think it was the 1000. It came with a pre-installed 850w quality( I think?) PSU which has always worked nicely. Anyway, I'm moving to the city now and the case is simply too big to comfortably fit in the apartment, so I need something new and somewhat smaller than the huge and heavy Cosmos.
I've been thinking about the CM 690 II for a new case, but it doesn't come with a pre-installed PSU. Since I don't have the Cosmos here with me, and since I need to order the parts before I'm in a position to check the Cosmos, I was wondering if you guys think it likely I'll be able to move the PSU over to a new case easily? I assume there'll be no problem, but I need to know for sure before I order.
Also, if there are any case recommendations beyond the 690 that would be welcome. I like to have decent hardware, but I'll never run SLI/CFX, I'll need at least 3 SSD drives and probably 3 HDD drives as well, and I'd place sound/cooling about equal. It shouldn't be bigger than a mid-tower, but it needs to contain one of those somewhat tall'ish Thermaltake CPU heatsinks( think it's around 140mm, with a 120mm fan).
