Hello there,
Those two cases apart from tiny height diff are basically the same?

Also what is the clear-out behid the back plate of mobo mounting and side panel? I had a look through pictures in show ur case but in this ocassion the pictures only contain front view + side where mobo mounted and none of them at the back.
Another thing - is the cable management easy in them or there is better case in that price range (<100quid)

Was wondering FD R3 but does not look like you can take a hdd racks out where in CM you can (i like that only 3 bays could be left alone inside)

Thanks
Edit ...Fractal Design Arc comes in the mind as a competetor to the Lite version. Any pros and cons?

R3 is a very good case, and I mean a very good case.

Cable management in the 690ii is ample. It is a solid case, I might recommend the Corsair 500R over it, or even the CM Storm Trooper if you cope with the looks of the latter. The CM Storm Trooper and Silverstone Raven RV03 are the best cases for <100 to be honest.

TBH I haven't consider Corsair ... worth looking into.
Really like that you can move the unnecessary HDD rack out (have only 2 HDD's)
And black interior !

CM is massive ...Id like the Midi tower - Full tower will be to much under my desk. Also not planning any WC in there so masses of space not required.
