One of the things the 690 II Advanced has going for it is a lot of versatility. With support for mounting radiators in the top or bottom, SSD mount and an external hard drive dock the 690 II Advanced is ready for almost anything you throw at it. Cooling performance is good with the 3 stock fans and with support for up to a total of 10 you can tailor it to the level you want. Styling might be suggestive but I find the 690 II Advanced to be a great looking case and the black interior brings it all together.

Cooler Master really put a lot of thought into the 690 II Advanced and it’s difficult to find fault. While the 690 II Advanced obviously takes aim at enthusiasts, there can be some space issues with higher end hardware in the CPU area and with longer video cards. Since the hard drive racks are designed to be removed you can almost remove that area as an issue.

Cooler Master had a successful case in the 690 and I would say they have made a lot of right moves in the 690 II Advanced that should continue to make it a top choice for many end users.
