Have my 24pin routed through the back..used an extender.

I like having the optical at the bottom of the case cause my pc sits on top of my desk.

does anybody know how many Led's you can run off the mobo pwr led header?
I know my antec 900 doesnt have a pwr led - but i have an idea where i'd like to place one ( or several) :idea:

Same reason the optical is on the bottom here. I'd like to get an extender, but I'm not sure I have clearance in the back now. I'd like to do the 8-pin too but the connector is like right in the middle of the mobo.

Questions about Fans

Hey... if anyone can answer me this question today that would be great..

The bottom two fans that came with the case (The HDD fan's) i guess you could call them... Well heres the problem, they are the male connections unlike the top and rear fan which are female connections... so i cannot plug the cords from my power supply(ThermalTake 750w Modular PSU)

So my question is.. do i need to buy some kinda adaptors(male to female adaptor ?) or is there some kinda 8 pin power cable i can buy to run from my power supply to these two fans ? What are my options ? Because i really need the 2 front fans working and im just kinda stumped on this.. even tho it's probably a very easy fix.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure????

Mine are not--I have built at least 7 900s .

Look closer--I think you will find they are double ended molexe--M/F

Ok so is it possible that i have it hooked up wrong to the power rail ?

I have a modular thermaltake 750w psu.... Whats the best way to connect these ? currently i only have the rear exhaust and top fan working.. i need to rectify this when i get home from work :)

Yeah i think the psu rail that im using has the ends that will not connect to the fans.. should i be hooking this up different ?

ty in advance

on my 900 - all the fan connectors are 'piggyback molexes' you put power from psu in one side and it then the other side acts as a power supply to anything else you want to power via a molex conn - whilst the fans power lead runs down from inbetween either end of the piggyback conn

My 900

I love this thread,and i got lots of inspiration of what to do with my Ninehundred.
This is my case at the moment:

I just couldnt get the beefy powercable on my Modstream to fit at the back of my case so it had to stay in the case :(
Next step is painting the door fangrill silver:)

Cheers

Where can you buy them?

3M has a similar item if not the same in most hardwares. they have one under the name "decorating clips with Command strips".

My friend told me that the fan on top is useless. Is this true or is he lying?

If you can call a 134 CFM Air Flow / 30 dBA Noise level fan useless, go ahead.

Looks great I like how nice the HDDS are installed...but only 6? (JK)--the clips on the door are a great idea. Just a thought but see how it looks without the mesh grill removed--I found that it made my fan a lot quieter. Plus it's a shame to hide that pretty Aerocool.
