Do you want me to make you facepalm by showing you a pic of my white 690II

It's the sex.

Please do

I was tempted for a white case but everything else in my room (TV, PS3, Laptop, Media Centre) are all black

I've been obsessed with looking at all the builds on here recently

Wow I gotta admit, the white is very nice!

One of the best purchases I have ever made mate. This case is fantastic.

Will definitely be housing a few builds in this.

Thanks for the help everyone, That's it ordered (CM 690 II)

And your build looks sweet richardirv - If I can get mine looking even half as good I'll be a happy happy man

Thanks, I hope it all goes well for you! Don't forget the tie wraps! Hehe.

External optical drive?

But it does look sweet.

No drive at the moment matey, trying to find a pure white one isn't easy!
I just hook up my old black one if need be.

Thanks, not finished yet though, needs a bit more work (cables) and the right colour scheme going and she shall look sweet

How about a night shot?

turn all the room lights off, fit the sides and lets see it glow.

Have to excuse the poor camera quality, pics could look a lot nicer. And ignore the cables, need to spend time.

I personally would be reaching for some machine tools and a sheet of acrylic to show off the insides.

I didn't expect to like the white case but I have to confess it looks really good!

I will be doing that soon mate, when I have gathered enough courage

May send it off to someone who knows what they are doing though. I'd say it is worth the money to get it done properly.

Cheers for that

looks good, even with the phone pics

GaryH-21 · 14 May 2011 at 11:17

It's heeere

Going to look pretty bad with my standard PSU, but that will need to wait until payday

PapaLazaru · 14 May 2011 at 11:31

Good choice, I have the same. My only small gripe with it, is that I think the stock fans are a tad noisy. Been meaning to swop them out for ages but not got round to it yet.

Looks the business though. Simple design that just works.

The cable management is awesome

I'm well chuffed

Just need a better looking motherboard, PSU and then a graphics card, some water cooling, a blu-ray drive, some more fans and a fan controller

I'll get some better ones tonight, but here's a phone pic of inside it - see what I mean about the motherboard and PSU needing upgraded
