This will definately be my replacement for my Coolermaster Elite 335.....
It has improvements in all the right areas from my perspective, namely space for cable management behind the Mobo tray, enough case width to hold a premium CPU cooler, and enough depth to hold any top end gfx card.
None of which can be said about my current 335.......and for only £60-70.....i think its a winner.
This is a definite improvement over the earlier HAF cases. It retains the industrial look without being disjointed and busy. Its a shame that they won't be offering all versions in all territories though. I could really do with a new case as my CM Centurion is starting to show its age. It has decent performance and is very durable, but feature-wise it is lacking compared to newer models.
This is going on my "to buy" list assuming it doesn't turn out to have abysmal cooling.
bit-tech reader mostly don't don't like the design. But I think for this price it's still a good deal. Plus the new option especially watercooling more easily accesible is a nice move from coolermaster. usually case designeg for watercooling are the most expensive.
It looks like the slightly better looking offspring of the Antec Dark Fleet (Possibly the most butt ugly omdz-it-hit-every-tree-branch-falling-from-the-ugly-fail-tree, ever. Also looks a bit like the HAF-X which lets face it aint the the best looking case either.
The CM 690II Advanced is what I have and once you add an extra fan or 2 it not only does the same job airflow-wise as the more expensive cases...it also looks a 100X better.

Great to see this series evolving more and more. I like the design and the build quality is just amazing for the price.
This one they just went a bit to far with there theme and the window mount is just ugly
X2... Style and design dudes... Not this... :/

I want all black and a window - but what, because I live in the UK, I suck, and can't have that?
Unimpressed.
The same could be asked of Xigmatek, the mesh side panelled version of the Utgard is not available in the UK I had to order mine from Germany...
It will have to go some to beat the Antec :)
Very much agreed apon that ;) ;) ;)
