K62 Dragonlord case

[CRAZYCAP]

Thinking of this for a case upgrade and just wondering, in TTL's video the HDD sata cables were at the front and visible on the vid. Can the drives be mounted the other way therefore the power and sata would be at the other side of the case and not visible. I just don't know if there is room between the other side cover to have your cables. Thanks in advance guys.

You cant turn the caddies round Im affraid dude..... SO its cables on the windows side or not at all with 3.5" drives.

So TTL out of a Coolermaster 690 II or the Lancool Dragonlord K62 which would you spend your hard earns on. They're the 2 cases i am tossing up between and getting rid of my Antec 900.

i would say the 690 II

I'd say go for the 690 II as well. I love that case!

them pics have sold that case to me as a upgrade lol

Both are great cases. If you like having a window, go for the K62. If not, go for the CM690 II.

Well guys, I got rid of my Antec 900 and went the Dragonlord K62 (completely black with window side panel). All I can say is 'Damn'. This case is absolutely awesome. I have it all cable managed behind the motherboard tray and this is new to me as the Antec 900 had nothing as far as cable management or dust filters for that matter. I did notice that I could turn the caddies that hold the HDD's around 180 degrees and now all power and sata cables are at the back behind the motherboard tray. After seeing the review (and an excellent one) by TTL that was it. I did notice that my Creative Titanium PCI-E card doesn't fit under the retention brackets (no biggy) as I am using the onboard audio that comes with the EP45-UD3P so that is something I can sell and put it towards another 5850. Guys I am as happy as a pig in......

I'm glad you like the case. My mate has one and I'd swap my 902 with his K62 any day

I have just been sold on the 690 II. That looks like an awesome case, whats the front look like? It looks like it has well thought out cable management access holes in the mobo tray.... Im all about the clean installs!

The front is rather plain, but there are some pics here:

There is a button to turn the LEDs in the front fan on and off. There also a recessed tray on top of the case for connecting a sata drive. Makes it easy for tech work or transferring stuff off an old drive without having to disconnect tidy wires inside.

The price is definitely right!
