I don't think, any of the Cabinet on the market has such kind of Dust Filters.

Do you mean ventilation of the cabinet.

IMO CM Storm Scout is a better choice then CM 690 II, as it has got handle to carry, but both are mid towers, with a price difference of Rs.500.

@game-freak
If u ain't overclocking and not going to buying a K series cpu then you also don't need a p67 mobo, go get a h67 mobo which will save you a few bucks

How?? just for the handles?? 690 II advanced have lot more features than storm scout which are more considerable i think!!
