Hi,

I'm nervous about buying cases without seeing them physically first, unfortunately this is difficult to do so I'm hoping someone has experience of both cases. I got burnt some time back buying a thermaltake case and after a day of use I hated it, it looked like some cheap old bmx had been squashed and made into a plasticy crappy case. I'm looking at the two cases below as they'll give me options for a better cooler system running on air (frio HSF) running on a MSI p67-gd65a and a 2600k. My video card is a XFX BE 4890XT and the case is an old ATX blackbird case with the PSU at the top (corsair 650w). I'm trying to decide on which case would best for cooling whilst being quiet, on top of this I'm keen to have a nice looking case suitable for someone of my age (40 next birthday, so lightshows and flashy plastic wont make me popular with the wife, and the kids will take the pi**).

Cheers

I have the 690 II and I'm now past 50. The 690 is a more subdued looking case compared to the HAF 922, there is however a blue led intake fan, this can be switched off though thankfully so I don't get snide jibes from the wife or kids lol.
 
Thanks to all who replied above, will go with the cm 690 II advanced as I like the option of being able to plug in a sata drive for backups.

Thanks again.
