Cooler Master announced that its third-generation CM 690 case will ship in August. The
CM 690 III has a similar design as its predecessor, but offers a spacier interior and more storage room. The standard version will cost 89EUR, while a windowed version will be available for 6EUR more.
CM 690 III is a revolutionary update to the popular CM 690 II mid-towers. The exterior retains the curved metal mesh look the series is known for. The interior has been completely updated – the HDD/SSD combo cage can be switched between 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives by adjustable trays without any screw. There's enough room for a 240mm liquid cooling radiator at the top or front, 120mm in the rear and supports up to 9 fans, including 3 large 200mm fans for extreme airflow. And cleaning is hassle free thanks to the multiple dust filters at the bottom, top, and front.

Full mesh on the front panel and top with large vents on the side panel for superior cooling
3 designated places for radiators: 240mm: top, front; 120mm: rear
