We review the Cooler Master CM 690 III chassis, a new upgrade over the popular CM 690 II mid-towers. The looks might be the same but are deceiving as every little mishap of the previous series has been upgraded and fixed. That is including the interior, as the HDD/SSD combo cage can be switched between 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives by adjustable trays without any screws. There's enough room for a 240mm liquid cooling radiator at the top or front, 120mm in the rear and it supports up to 9 fans, including 3 large 200mm fans for extreme airflow. And cleaning is hassle free thanks to the multiple dust filters at the bottom, top, and front.

Being labeled as the CM 690 II Advanced, the chassis was a makeover of the reputable CM 690 series. The updated design was to be a little more sturdy and came in an all black design with the latest gadgets and features a modern age chassis should have. The new updated model has an improved interior and a few other tweaks as well, improved capacity, superb cooling system and user-friendly design. There is a new front panel as well, this time around with USB 3.0, of course.
