Anyone else having this problem or is it just the way i have the headphone wire run inside the case?

Did you make sure you connected the correct audio cables? There are the AC'97 ones and the HD audio ones. Just checking.

ON ANOTHER NOTE!! I got my Antec 900 Case in the other day and decided since I saw all kinds of sweet stuff going down on this site for mods and cable hiding I would do some myself. So far I have painted the inside black and disassembled the case so I can figure out a good way to route the cables.

Does anyone have any suggestions for routing of the IO and power/reset button panel cables? I think I might just tuck them in the corner but I have the resources to make some nice holes or something. And has anyone been having issues with the back panel bulging due to cables being tucked back there? Solutions? Let me know :D

UPDATE Raid RaptorX MOD
Hd's fit great as you notice on the second picture
Now just need to get the side panel back from laser cut Shop
i know i just paste picture of the Raptor X hd's on the picture & the Hd's you see on the second picture looks not like raptor but those 500 gigs X2 theys will fit fine on the back side panel as storage devs i just dont wana scratch the new raptor clear cover till the side panel back from the shop
but as soon the side panel is back from the shop & painted you might see somes new pics of the final product hope ya like it ;)

Next Mod in action raid array 2X64G Solid state Patriot PE64GS25SSDR 2.5" 64GB Used as OS Multi Boot & Appz
& theys gona be installed inside my old HD rack located under the DVD-R
Now all i need to do for final mod .. get rid of my old IDE DVD-R
& replace the empty bay door with a self WC kit contained inside that bay drive to cool down my chipset
& relocate a slim Blue-Ray Player on the bottom maybe a laptop Blue-ray device since i dont think there's blue-ray dev avail that slim like i saw in this thread
but i think that was a dvd-r not a blue-ray dev

and the cooling provided by rad 120X2 Powred by Quad fans 2 fans inside 2 fans in front

Very very nice rigs guys

dam, wishing i picked one up during newegg's black friday sale... (was sold out when i checked :( )

I finished my first ever case mod last week by drilling(step drill) holes for my Antec 900. It was a real pain and it takes some skill to do things the right way. All of the mods I have seen in this thread are great. Could anyone tell me what extension wires I need for my box to look even better? I need one for the white/blue case wire that starts at the top and says Pwr grd etc on it and an extension for the small power wire that goes from the power supply to the top left of the motherboard.

Oh my Gosh. You have your Q6600 at 4.4. When I overclock I will ask you for tips. Thanks for the tip.

Not as good as the NewEgg sale was, but if you live near a Microcenter store you can pick the 'In-store Pickup' option for shipping and get it a lot faster than UPS would deliver it. Saves on the shipping charges, too.

Hi all,

ok so I would like to hear your top 3 CPU Fans?

Intell 775, Antec 900, EVGA 780i MOBO.. Just your opinons on my top 3 choices? Hoping to buy this friday, Thanks alot..

Hey guys , awhile back I was talking about converting my Antec 900 into a BTX. So yesterday I took the plunged. Here is how far I got:

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/6248/98360381ec0.jpg

I am busy cutting the mobo tray now so I expect the fabrication to be completed tomorrow.I have decided to call the mod Project Antec 009 for obvious reasons. Enjoy

Hey everyone I am going to mod my comp before X-mas and have a few simple questions. (Any tips for someone who is starting would be great)

1. Will I need any wire extenders and if so can someone give me link to the Egg or another site with some that I will need.

2.Also what do you think about putting 4 of these http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-xtrem...000-black.html in with this fan controller http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811999171.

3. My CPU fan is the Zalman CNPS 9700 (glows green) so I am thinking about getting 2 12'' cold cathodes to light my case green while my fans are blue. Will the cathodes be to over powering?

3. Should I flip my PSU upside down? Since it has a fan that blows up in my case.

4. Any pointers before I go hacking into my computer would be great. :)

By Flipping you Psu upside down you may get your cable longer & maybe reach your devs since the main pack of cable will be on the back side of your tower & you will get cooler psu but you need to do a blow hole on the bottom of your case

i think you will achive great air flow with those Aerocool Xtreme Turbine 2000
since theys can do Airflow: 89.39 CFM but as far what is the DB it will result
im not shure you like the noise but with the fan controller im shure you can tune those fans with a decent air flow & low DB

Dunno if Cathod drain that mutch amps & voltage you might check the specs

Keep on Modding !!!!

Sorry guys due to the nature of the mod I didnt take as much pictures as I would have liked but here is the final results , I still need to spray the whole case black but as far as I am concerned the fabrication is done. Enjoy.

Here is the case with spare parts I have lying around. The Final case will have WCing.

as far as I know this is the Worlds first BTX Antec 900 :>

I am in a pickle here. I am getting 4 new fans that glow blue and my CPU fan glows green. Should I get a paid of 12'' Cold Cathodes for extra look to it? The choices are Blue, Red, or like UV purple. Which of these would look the best if any at all?

Hey guys , I just finished my Antec 009 mod here is the final product

Great Work Doner90 the fnial product look neat & Genuine just a quick question to create your BTX mod did you salvage a back plane panel from another BTX case ?

Done:

http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/4...4622222jk5.jpg

I still need to do some more cable management and to install the Watercooling. I will be doing that all next year.

By BTX I meant inverted ATX. note the pic.

Nice work man

DoNER90 - FYI, the link in your sig is broken. Nice work on the mobo flip.

DoNER90,

Nice job.:up:

:clap: Nice mod.
