Cooler Master have gone back to the drawing board, aiming to improve on one of their best ever and most popular chassis designs, adding a third part in the now Trilogy of CM 690 chassis. The 690 and of course the 690 II are fantastic cases, but they're ge...
Sleek design on the exterior and interior, Removable filters and covers for easy maintenance, Flexible and modular storage bays, Spacious interior for long graphics cards, Good cable management, Impressive airflow and high quality fans pre-installed, Dura...

Overall I think Cooler Master have made some pretty impressive improvements to the 690 and it is easily the best on the range so far. The only omission I can see in my mind is that they've removed the rubber grommets on the chassis interior, but since cab...

£80 Cooler Master’s CM 690 series has always been a popular choice for enthusiasts and gamers. Its middle of the road styling has satisfied both camps by remaining largely subtle in its aesthetic approach. It was way back in 2011 that 690 II received...

It’s never an easy feat bringing to market the successor to a popular product and there are usually two avenues that manufacturers take; a complete overhaul and redesign or a subtle facelift. Today’s review of CM 690 III drops into the latter. Choosin...

The Cooler Master CM 690 is a popular desktop chassis that we've seen a couple iterations of. Now there's the third edition, so how does the CM 690 III compare to its predecessors and the competition? The CM 690 has come in many flavours. The CM 690 I...
The stakes were high for Cooler Master. The CM 690 series has always been a popular and well-respected one, and Cooler Master could afford to drop the ball with the third version. The first two offered a perfect balance of price, features, effective coo...

Sit back and think for a minute about just how many companies offer a chassis segment as well as offering one, if not many, AIO coolers under their names. Places like Corsair, NZXT, Antec, and Zalman, I'm sure I am missing a couple, but not one of them ha...
The CM 690 III is a structurally sound design. Not only did the feet really grab to the glass when trying to move it around for images, but even without the panels and with some of the bays removed, the chassis still feels like a tank to protect your com...

All three of the cases we've looked at this month are within $40 of each other, so just what each offers for that much more or less than its casemates (a little military humour, there, for the sharp ones) is really quite interesting. As the most expensive...

At the rear is the case's second and final fan, a 120mm exhaust. There are also some firmly fitted grommets for external watercoolers and a 7+1 expansion slot arrangement. Though there are just two default fans, there are many ways to expand upon this...
As we said, it's getting harder and harder for cases to really stand out as something special in this part of the market. Over the past few years we've seen cases here from almost every major manufacturer gradually establish a baseline level of build qual...

At first glance this new installment in the oh so popular CM 690 series doesn't carry much new under the hood. However it's once we remove the side panels we can appreciate at how much work has been done to update this case to the end users demands of...
