Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Black and White review -
Product gallery - Exterior
Now, we have a white studio for photography and then white edges on a chassis... it's just a pain in the you-know-what. As such, the photos are unaltered and only cropped.
Here you can see the left side panel. There are no gaps for installation of fans which the bigger brothers did have. No side see-through window either, the honeycomb mesh is all you have for ventilation. Luckily there's lots of it..

When we flip the chassis around then on the right side panel we again miss an opening the predecessor did have. Oh gosh, that's a lot of white alright!
The rear of the chassis is very diverse. We see that everything is black, including the retention holder for your PCI(e) cards up to the black thumbscrews to secure them. On top we see two nice big grommet holes for water-cooling tubing, the I/O slot and a 120mm fan.
Very hard to see on the photo, but to the middle right there is a vertical slot. This can be used for expansion brackets that plug into the headers on your motherboard, this could be beneficial to people that need large amounts of USB or Firewire brackets.
Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
