http://www.imgx.org/pfiles/1196/170px-Coolermaster_logo.pngWhen it comes to PC chassis, no one does it better than Cooler Master. For years now, Cooler Master has been on the leading edge of PC chassis design. Today, Cooler Master is pleased to announce its latest creation – the CM 690 PC chassis. By utilizing a unique mesh design, the CM 690 effectively blends together both form and function, offering users a mid-tower chassis without compromise.

When looking at the CM 690, it’s easy to be taken in by its bold lines and superb styling. But don’t let its exterior fool you – the CM 690 is a lot more than just a pretty face. Its unique Cooler Master mesh design not only gives it its modern good looks, but also facilitates excellent thermal performance. Inside, users can install up to seven 120mm fans for high-efficiency ventilation, making the CM 690 perfectly suited for today’s high-powered hardware. A 80x15 mm fan can even be installed at the rear of the motherboard tray to keep the CPU area well cooled. Other innovations like the bottom-mounted power supply, top mounted ventilation holes and retaining holes for water cooling units makes the CM 690 the ideal choice for systems that require the utmost stability

Looks simple and seems to be a spacious cabby. And provision for quite a number of fans. Hope it will be available here soon.

am sure it will cost a BOMB here

^ If priced practically (I would say chances are 50/50) it should be less than 8K. vfm price would be around 6k but i doubt it.

Something strange happened in the computer market recently which is that in Mumbai Antec was handled by Prime and Coolermaster by Matrix3d now it seems to be reversed - Coolermaster is now distributed by Zebronics (no longer by SMC Delhi) and available in Mumbai at Prime (and APEX) and possibly Matrix3d are going to be the Antec sellers in Mumbai. I am nor sure but I think SMC Delhi will start selling Antec hardware.

I understand that we will get Coolermaster stuff cheaper now (I was told by a substantial margin) and possibly the Antec hardware will cost a bit more in Mumbai - from my experience with Matrix3d they tend to charge more than the balance of the market… I hope Matrix3d prove me wrong and sell Antec stuff at lower prices :slight_smile:

i think along with SMC , zebronics have become new ditris for CM
