Hi all...
I've thinking to get a new casing as well as PSU for my rig... (to replace my cap-ayam Power logic psu and casing)
And I will choose Cooler Master as my casing and PSU... But I don't really sure which one is a good combination...

Combination 1 :

Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus + Cooler Master Silent Pro 500W PSU

Combination 2 :

Cooler Master 690 II Basic Casing + Cooler Master Silent Pro 500W.


So guys, which one is the good combination??


Oh, btw, the specification for my computer is ;

Pentium G620 Processor

Asrock H61M-GS Motherboard

WD Caviar Blue 1TB Sata HDD

LG Sata DVD-RW

Planning to add the middle-end gc in the future after I've got budget to change my monitor....

Thanks guys... Waiting for the recommendation...

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!

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

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....

Okay... just got my new casing and power supply last week, and only free to install install it today....
It's just a simple and cheapo case and power supply... CM Elite 311 + Gigabyte Power Rock 500W PSU....
But what I like about this casing is, although it's cheap and oriented to the budget user, but it have such a decent cable management area which I really like it... This case costs me RM110 which seems affordable....

Suitable for my low end rig and this case is 150% better than my old Power Logic Azzura case......

Front view of the case, unfortunately, it's too glossy and I didn't adore it much... Hate to see my own face..




The view from inside of case with all of the hardware has been properly installed




The best cable management that I can do with this case... or perhaps, I can do it more better than this??




Backside of the case which you can hide the ATX and front panel connector cable....

Wow... Thanks bro for the link. Your cable management was IMPRESSIVE!
How did you managed to hide all of those cable at the right side of the case? I really hope to do like that, but unfortunately,
the cable supplied with the powerock 500W kinda short, even the ATX 4 pin connector cannot be hidden on the right side if the case...

Anyway, how much did you bought that Gemini cooler?
