exactly. the cm590 doen't have all the cable managment features that the CM690 have and the Cm scout is only R10 more and looks great. Cooling is also essential.
Do what you feel is the best for a case, there are too many devided opions on this. Go with your "gut" feeling

yip that be correct ...
imo the 690 is basically the 590 with alot of extras ... tho for me it weighs way too much, they should have made an aluminum version ...
the cm scout also just seems like the gladiator with lots of extras ... the interior is basically the same ...
Your case you can really cheap out on. If you don't intend to overclock, bottom end midi towers will provide sufficient air flow.
Make sure its has enough space for your PSU, hard drives and drive bays. Midi towers are more trixy to open up and work in, it will get cluttered in there fast and can be a bit frustrating during the build, but they will do the job.
Full size towers are suited to those who need excellent airflow for overclocking and want maximum work space inside their towers. They are especially awesome when running SLI/Crossfire setups with massive GFX cards and jumbo size CPU coolers ( http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6074 ). Since you won't be running this type of bleeding edge enthusiast setup, you'll be fine.

Yea true, but i've got a full tower. not exactly lan-friendly type
I agree. The cooler master scout look like a good lan case. I also want the case to last me a long time. maybe later on I going to add a new cpu cooler.
