storm enforcer anygood?thinking of getting them...or the 690 ii advance

if using original heatsink, the hot kinda berlebihan too.

BTW, these heatsink are free (given by someone) and im just kinda feel its worth to install.

Really? mind to show ur side panel ..

@atomik
somehow i like the look of the thermalright sb/nb heatsink hahaha!

@nncl
nice rig, nice table, nice cars

You overvolt those sb and nb ? Mine just nothing . Its stock from cm690 only . Since you hav laser cutting service , any design should nt a problem for you rite ?

Switched from a Lancool K62 to CM 690 II Advanced. Didn't regret it .

nice one dude. where did you do that panel at the psu & 5.25 bay?

I almost buy the k62 myself but ended up getting a 690II instead.

Yes I could like to ask for that as well . Looks nice and neat . Very great cable management

Thanks guys.

To be honest it was very simple. It was just a lazy weekend project haha.

I started off by using cardboards cutouts and testing them on the case. My base measurements were 18.5cm x 14cm for the 5.25" bays and 32.5cm x 15.5cm for the PSU plate. This will probably be a bit different for you.

Then I ordered solid, matte black perspex sheets (4.5mm thick for PSU plate and 2.5mm for 5.25" bays). I intentionally had the cutouts about 1 or 2mm more than the actual size just to be safe. Then I proceeded to test it, sand it down, test it again, sand it down further, until it fitted perfectly.

The 5.25" bays cover is just taped on and doesn't require exact fit, just enough to cover everything.

While the PSU plate is just sitting on top of the PSU with 1mm rubber spacers underneath. If you get it to fit perfectly, it's going to be sturdy. You'll need to remove the HD cage first, lay the PSU cover, then put the HD cage back. The cage basically acts as a clamp for the plate.

Very creative bro . Btw , those perspex where to buy ?

Nice pix there. Love those cables.

Now this is what I call Management and Beauty.
Good job. Keep up the good work.

I live overseas now (got it done there) so cannot recommend a place back home. But if you use the keyword "plastics" under Yellow Pages, there are a number of fabricators out there.

Just give them the measurements. It should be very cheap.

I believe we do have people selling these at the garage sales but AFAIK there didn't sell the black ones. Not enough demand I guess.

Hmm...that's bad luck I guess

I'm sure someone will know a person who can supply it. Hopefully they can post here!

By any chance, can I contact CoolerMaster or its Malaysian distributor for CM690 front panel board replacement? The bloody audio jacks wears off so quickly after a few headphones insertion. Emailed to CoolerMaster's support but got no reply. Bad after-sales support.

is it still under warranty? maybe can try contact the shop where you bought the case and see how it goes from there.

i tot casing has no warranty...sure bro?

No warranty. Well, I talked to CM live support yesterday, they only offered to contact the two Malaysian distributor. Lets see how it goes.
