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 ?

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 sad.gif

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

im wondering how to remove the dust filter for the top of the 690 II advanced. its blocking the exhaust airflow which is the worst part of this casing!

Pretty easy actually. See how the metal mesh is held in place by the folded bits? Just fold them back and slightly separate the metal mesh from the top panel. Then you just slide the filter out.

Alternatively, you can just try and tug the filter out. It's not securely fixed to the top panel.

I've owned both. Go with CM690 II. More functionality.

They should have dropped a USB 2.0 port and kept the e-SATA.

Also the PSU filter is still the same sad.gif.
