Jolly's CM-690 Case Mod v2.0

Jollys-CM-690-WP-img01-300x225.jpg ​

It’s been 3 years since I got this CM-690 Case. With its current hardware configuration it has served me well, but alas it’s time to move forward and update both the case and some of the hardware. This will be a summary overview of my project. Enjoy!

This was a beautiful edit to an already great case; great work Jolly! The CM690 has always been a favorite of mine. It has been retired, but only for its big brother - the CM690 II Advanced. My CM690 is still in my shop waiting to be modded whenever I have the time and inspiration. :)

Very nice work JS, I'm really impressed by your work (both this and the other mod that's in the pipeline for the front page ...).

Thank You David, the next Article is a little different from the mainstream modding, and more of an Artistic flair,

Thanks cuda340,


Will be getting 2x CoolIT Vantage ALC soon as have been informed by Barry @ CoolIT that they were shipped on Friday so should be here maybe end of week hopefully, so will be looking forward to installing these in this Rig and one for the Wife's Rig, and will post up Results in Main Project log.
Will be the first International person to receive these and the first in Australia too!
 
I wouldn't normally like the copper over-tones on the grille, but they turned out nicely and contrasted well with the black of the case! :thup:
 
Great work! I thought your modding the first time around was sweet, but this is even better! I like the HDD window idea; maybe it could be fleshed out a bit in a future mod. :thup:

Very cool mod JSM! I like the copper and black theme, as well as the cool shroud. Why didn't you keep the q6600?
