get the 912..big fans with large fins is always better than small fans

yeap,decided to choose 912...
give up 2 fan at the bottom and get 200mm fan infront and top...
hope it worth it...
IMO 912 side window better than 690

Good choise . Two megaflow fan as intake in front and exhaust on top surely better . HAF 912 looks better for me and have a better cable management . Just my cheap comment without having a haf 912 . Will get it soon

yeah that's totally true!!! I read an article about a couple of bored tech guys running a test on the best fans combinations for system cooling. They result surprises me..the best fan config is either front & top OR Front and Rear. The rest of the combinations sucks. I post the thread once i found it...

Anyway, the 2 large CM 200mm fans on front & top are silent and sufficient to cool my case 32c on ambient room temp. You can replace all 2 wth 4 120mm fans instead for 2x airflow!!! but i dun want to waste the 200mm fans...unless i'm selling it.

im a 912 owner. really a good buy. side fan have to add ownself though...

yeah...side fan is not provided for 912 Adv. only front, top and of course 1 at the back

cm690ii is bad at cooling, air flow... it looks sleek nice, though... but that HAF never let us down though its ugly*

*its a bit ugly for me...but nevermind

Yet, by default, cm690ii can't support longer graphic unless by mod it

HAF 912 advanced
it has 2 x 200mm fan
option for additional 120 or 140mm on side panel
can switch HDD cage orientation for better airflow

IMHO this case only loose out to HAF-X & 600T
