Another "spec me a case" thread...

...so I'll apologise in advance

I fancy changing case and could do with a few suggestions.
Current setup is in a Lian-Li A05NB, with the replacement top and a 140mm in there. Spec is i7 [email protected] w/H70 push/pull, 16GB, EVGA 570, 2x3.5 drives, and 2x2.5 SSDs.

I'm looking to keep something with a small-ish footprint, at least from depth - ideally staying around 500mm, maybe absolute max of 510mm. Height not too much of a problem. Ideally something with a side window. Need both excellent cooling performance (or potential - don't mind swapping all fans out), and ease of cable tidying.

So not much then Any suggestions?

I've looked at the CM690II, but depth is too much I think. Looked at a few others but nothing really ticking all boxes yet.
Also looked at the Lian-Li P50B (cabling looked potentially poor), or the Lancool K62R (a possibility).

Actually just re-measuring my desk, I might be able to go upto 530mm depth, which opens the CM690II as an option.

the CM I think is a brilliant option .

Yeah, I had one of the very original 690s, and at around £50 was well impressed with it. Didn't suprise me to see so many raving about the mkII.

Think that is what I shall grab. Cheers

Aaaargh, you make me look at the K62 again!! Have been looking at the K62R and it is tempting me.

 

[stulid]

Put it this way, with the K62 you are entering an elite group.

With the CM690MKII, every man and his dog has one.

 

[daz.rathbone]

Indeed - and I just found the Blue Dragon (rather than the K62R I was looking at) - I know Blue is v.common, but saves me changing motherboard to match the red

Ok, redecided again, K62 Blue Dragon it is..... cheers!!
