the coolermaster interior is spacious, and the harddrive cages are sideways mounted for extra space.

Page 5 -"The first and potentially most off-putting (for gamers, anyway) is that the CM 690 II Advanced simply won't fit an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5970, as the maximum card length is 304mm"
 
the 5970 is rather long, if thats all it wont fit, then thats not bad.

do you think you will ever want a dual gpu card like that?
 
902- http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2009/02/25/antec-nine-hundred-two-902-review/3

quote,

The drive bays also cause problems when fitting larger graphics cards into the 902, just as we found two years ago when building a system into the 900. While 10 inch cards like the 9800 GTX+ and HD 4870 fit with a little room to play with, 10.5 inch cards like the GTX 2xx series or ATI’s Radeon HD 4870 X2 will only just fit by the skin of their teeth with some angular cable management for PCI-Express connectors as well. This is an issue that’s compounded by the decision to include an internal 120mm fan mount on the back of one of the drive cages. Designed to provide even more cooling for your GPU or CPU if you so need it, it just gets in the way if you’re running even a somewhat recent graphics card, although it is thankfully easy enough to remove or relocate.

the coolermaster has a SSD caddie built in too
