Any CM chasis recommended for a budget of ~RM150? Good air flow, able to fit in standard ATX board with 560-ti (no CPU cooler, don't plan to OC) and side window for me to admire my righ

cm 430 or 311+

where to buy power switch for CM690?my 3 yrs old CM690 power switch dead already

go for 311+...

newer casing, newer features

Any idea which shop can i find these products;

1. USB3.0 Adapter
2. Intel Retention Bracket

or how to order it from CM?

If I had know about the CM430's sucky cable management I would NOT have bought it.

cm elite 431 bro...

got usb 3.0 front....

good airlflow...

side trasparent panel....

dont expect much from casing on that price range. u get what u pay for

IIRC the CM690 switch is at the side... and pulling the front panel off will reveal it using a push switch... easilly replaced I think... just need to find an identical one and some soldering job to do

I see another victim

Anyway I'm using it for a 24/7 dl rig.

Is it really that bad? do i have any other choice of decent casing with a budget of ~RM150?

As bro Ulysses said in prevous posts, you get what you pay. You cant expect much good things in a casing with such budget. You more you pay, the better casing you get. For example corsair carbide 500R and Sliverstone Raven 02. Both are gooding and nice looking casing with tons of features and either one will cost you Rm400-Rm500

Nope, with good cable management skill, you still able to make it look very neat, make sure you use cable tie. Come on, look at the side transparent panel and front blue led, don't you fall in love with it?

why dont u go for cm 311+? quite new...recently launched

supposed to be in rm150 range

Lol I didn't know u sell chassis now

anyway TS its kinda true actually.. good cable mgt wil make a difference even though the casing is not designed with interiors to cope with it... take a look at the cable management thread to get some tips... and having a modular PSU will help as well

i din sell chassis . Btw him can just go for CM Elite 311, save headache, but plain design.

that's right, i felt in love with it the moment i saw the side window and blue LED fan (which is easy to DIY i guess )

Added on November 24, 2011, 4:59 pmi agree. i only have very little cable management skill, so most probably will let one of the pros at LY to assemble for me when i bought the parts.
