690 looks better, 912 like a big machine being compressed. 690 fits 2 rads nicer looking than 912, 690 nicer looking hdd bay, and your wiring can disguise behind them. 690 top put 2x120/140mm fans with higher rpm will have better ventilation than the 912 top 200mm fan. tongue.gif

other than that personal opinion, it all depends on you. whistling.gif

i bought the HAF Advance, interior and functionality wise, both are similar. As for looks, it's personal..HAF Advance has aggresive military look, CM 690 look clean and nice. Both shud come with wheels..so damn heavy!!!!

IMO, go for 912 if ur budget is limited.
If got extra, go for HAF 922 for better airflow.
Others, go for CM 690.

after doing research for few days for these 2 casing...
the only diff is the 690 have 3 more fans...2 at the bottom and 1 bhind cpu...
while 912 have 200mm fans infront and on the top of the casing...
690 have additional features which is hdd docks and led fan on/off switch...
912 have usb 3.0 panel but i believe you can bought it for 690 if u need it...

on the price,i feel that 912 is more worth because it give 2x 200mm fans whic 690 gives 140mm fans...

correct me if anything wrong...

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 rclxms.gif

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.

690 comes with and without either side panel....most choose with panel, that's why stock only left without panel

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
