We may not have seen many Full Review Systems here at pcG, but we are building them almost every day! And if we were to have a budget of £999, I'm not sure we could build a much better Gaming Rig than the Cube Reaper! The Cube Reaper came to pcG well...
So the Cooler Master CM690 III or CM693 if you don't do the roman numerals thing has been on the desk with a Play3r test rig installed for around a week now but it's that time again where I give you the low down. Is the CM690 III a worthwhile purchase...
As we said, it's getting harder and harder for cases to really stand out as something special in this part of the market. Over the past few years we've seen cases here from almost every major manufacturer gradually establish a baseline level of build...
All three of the cases we've looked at this month are within $40 of each other, so just what each offers for that much more or less than its casemates (a little military humour, there, for the sharp ones) is really quite interesting. As the most...
We were pleasantly surprised with how the manufacturer has managed to create a product so good while maintaining a low price The CM 690 III is well made, the steel frame is solid and the finish is above average compared to competitors in the same price...

The stakes were high for Cooler Master. The CM 690 series has always been a popular and well-respected one, and Cooler Master could afford to drop the ball with the third version. The first two offered a perfect balance of price, features, effective...
Cooler Master have gone back to the drawing board, aiming to improve on one of their best ever and most popular chassis designs, adding a third part in the now Trilogy of CM 690 chassis. The 690 and of course the 690 II are fantastic cases, but they're...
The CM 690 III is showing a very familiar outside, but the inside has certainly been overhauled with some upgrades to improve the product and make it a little more suited for the demands of 2013, the USB 3.0 ports are especially appreciated of course....
Its never an easy feat bringing to market the successor to a popular product and there are usually two avenues that manufacturers take; a complete overhaul and redesign or a subtle facelift. Todays review of CM 690 III drops into the latter....
