Woah..sure got a lot of Scout user here...
Good job guys, you made the right choice.. rclxms.gif

For me, I'm LAN Party gamer, and I move around lot.
This case perfectly suits me..
Perfect for LAN Party.

And uh TS, make sure you do some cable management there.
I've done mine and it is pretty impressive, able to almost all of the cables behind the mobo tray.

I give you guys props, and congrats thumbup.gif

Hihi...glad to see another user of the scout....I tried keeping it behind...but my side panel i had to force it like hamburger and it crushes my 24-pin power cable....there is also 1 remark on the casing....

The top part has no opening for the cables to come out....the opening is only until the HDD drive zone....

That is just 1 of the main problem for me....The rest....zero comments nod.gif nod.gif

All you got to do is re-route all the cables one by one.
If the cable is longer, just make route it like 'S' shape behind the tray.
That way will shortened the cables.
Since there's not much space behind the tray, tie your cables together to look flatter in shape, not cylinder.
Zip ties, zip ties, and always zip ties your cables.
For the top, route your cable through the retention hole.

And the rest, use your imagination... whistling.gif

Happy cable managing biggrin.gif

I have using CM Storm Scout and CM690...here some review from my eyes..

CM Storm Scout

Pro
- good in cable management
- good material casing compare CM690
- nice design and got handle...so handsome..
- 4 port usb
- got button on/off for led fan
- nice windows panel
- got bracket for SSD harddisk
- interior really powder coat

Con
- Very cramp when put so many hardware inside
- Cannot put @ fit latest gc like ATi HD5870 or future gc if long size
- Not suitable for watercooling setup


CM690

Pro
- got big space
- big from CM Storm Scout
- design can-can la..
- can put long gc like HD5870. Perhaps can fit 5870x2

Con
- Very hard for cable management especially ATX 24 pin cable...to solve it using modular psu.
- ugly design side panel
- low material compare CM Storm Scout
- interior like spray can

Best cable management for CM690 i like so far...
