After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
CoolerMaster 690 II Advanced vs. CoolerMaster 690

Case Layout and Features - Interior
Moving inside the case we can see that everything has been covered in a black matte finish similar to the exterior of the case.
The interior of the case shows that CoolerMaster has obviously redesigned virtually every part of the previous model. In fact aside from the placement of the major case components there is nothing original about the 690II advanced.

CoolerMaster has massively improved the cable hiding abilities in the 690II. There are ample ports available and they are positioned in very good locations to keep wire clutter to a minimum.
Along with reducing the eyesore of loose cabling having neatly stashed wiring can also improve airflow and ensure that the components are properly ventilated. There is a little over 1/2 inch of space behind the motherboard tray which should be sufficient to store extra power and data cables.
