if plan to upgrade more or add more... 690 might be the right choice..
if will venture to other brand or bigger space but want to get something normal... 431 is ur choice

that's my opinion...

I think I will settle with 431 Plus only. Since my psu is semi-modular, thus the cable management will not be an issue (despite I read that one of the disadvantages of Elite 431 is their horrible cable management design).

Some more, my rig is low-end only (Pentium G620, no graphic card) , so normal casing will be enough... Lol!

good choice
post a pic once u've assembled ur rig xD

grab used CM haf
hehehe
it spacious and good for cable management too

Hahaha... for sure

Anyway, what is the different between CM 690 II basic and advance version?

Basic edition seems more cheaper than Advance one... RM219 vs RM310! Nearly 100% price different

um 5 things..
-external sata x-dock
-internal gpu holder
-2.5 ssd bracket
-included fans
-tool-free design

advance gives u the ability to add a ssd on the top of the chassis easily... | basic gives u a normal accessories bed
advance gives u an internal gpu holder | basic doesn't
advance gives u a 2in1 2.5 ssd bay adapter
advance is fully tool-less | basic offers 2 5.25" bay tool-free retentions, 2 normal retentions that needs screws
advance gives u 2 140mm fan (front and top) and a 120mm fan (exhaust) | basic gives u 2 120mm fan (front and exhaust)
both got LED switch
both can support 10 fans
both are fully equipped for any modern systems
both has dust filters on both, black interior, modular bay
advance version is fully loaded with comprehensive features | basic version best for tweakers/modders and is a best canvas for ur pc dream

Wow! Nice explanation you have there..... But some google revealed that CM 690 II does not include with the dust air filter at the bottom of power supply compartment.... Unlike the Elite 341 where it was included....

Elite 431plus cable management sux!

with or without...basically need to clean the dust once a week or a month anyway..lol
