CM690 II Adv. vs CM Strom Enforce

[Skurge]

So, I need a new case and have decided between these 2. Going to be putting a Z68 with either a 2100 or 2500k and a 6870 with possible upgrade to 7series cards. I like my cases very quiet and I tend to keep them for a very long time. I don't plan on using WC and I don't plan on using many fans either.

The CM690 is about $12 more than the enforcer. Which would be the better case to get?

I have an original CM690 from when CompUSA went out of business and it has been a great case. Tons of fan options.

The CM690 has 7 120mm fan mounts. I have 5 installed in mine and it can get loud when stressed. But it cools incredibly well! Even with five fans, with the right MB fan headers (mines a Z68 ASUS), it can run pretty silent.

I don't have any experience with the storm.

Well, Im going going to say the Raven 03.....I used to think its fugly, however Im now doing my 2nd build on it and have to say I love how cool and quiet they are...the 2 x 180mm fans at the bottom are excellent providing great airflow and are whisper quiet...
I have no idea what the price is where you are, but if like me you say you like to keep your cases for several builds, I have no problem recommending them!

I love my 690II, incredibly spacey too. I mounted a 360 rad in the back, and it can take two more 240 rads on top & bottom (you have to remove the HDD cage though), and it's dead silent. I know you're not planning on WC, I didn't either, but it's always a plus to have a case that supports WC. Long cards is not an issue for this case aswell.

Besides, the 690 looks a lot nicer.
