Introduction Since the CM 690’s introduction in 2007, the CM 690 became one of Cooler Master’s best selling chassis. Sales records were set, putting Cooler Master as innovators in the mid-tower chassis category. To continually lead the market, Cooler Master has built an enhanced version with the CM 690 II. The CM 690 II defines a new category of functional mainstream chassis that has enthusiast features. We believe that with these improvements the CM 690 II does not lose any of the original design spirit.
