Ahh now that i have cleaned my keyboard lemme say what i wanted to. 
The chassis isn't targeted at your CM690 price range. It's a full tower Size cabinet, in the size range of Cosmos and Stacker. It's made for people who want a simple looking cabinet but having the performance of the beasts. Plus it's corsair, so it's gonna be a tad expensive to begin with. This is their first chassis in the Obsidian Series, the 800D. They will soon come out with lower ranged products too. But still, 300$ is expensive. But let it come out in the market first, 300$ is just an announced price. Once their marketing team see's the markets response to the price, they may revise it when it hits the windows.
It's features full black finish (Inside Out) a few 140mm fans and lots of slots for more, is LCS ready, has a slide-out mobo tray, has a separate PSU region, tool-free installation (but most cabbies nowadays feature these, but still), 7 Expansion slots, a side window, and made for good cable management. If its priced in the range of HAF - Stacker, this will surely give them a run for their money.
The only major fault i found in this was the absence of the most basic eSATA port on board on the Front Panel. Maybe corsair can take implement this in the future cabinets they make.

Man, u just gotta love all those vents for cable management and the 4 hot swap bays!! And it looks so simple and elegant too!
The steel doesn't matter to me much and I sure won't puke! I can surely overlook that aspect for the other pluses Being on WC, I was getting sick of all the HAF types
