   Hello AVA

             I'm considering about ordering a gaming PC from you guys in the summer using the socket ddr2 configuration page. My case choices have been narrowed down to the Antec 900 and the CM 690. However, I was wondering why the 690 isn't one of the options. They're both aggressive looking and offer good cooling, but I heard the Antec's wiring is very troublesome and that the CM 690 is alot easier to work with. Since I'm  going to put a 9800 GX2 in the system, I'm wondering if there is enough room. Thanks.

	Hello SouL, You will have enough room for the GX2 in the CM 690. I will put in a request for the CM690 to be listed on our website, so check for updates! Edited by Jmundy - 21 May 2008 at 10:31am

	I just saw what CM 690 looks like. I'd choose 900 over CM 690.

	900 isnt ad bad case. However, the CM 690 offers WAY better wiring management and cooling. Only downpart is that it may be a lil bit louder
