Its part of the motherboard heatsink.
Its a LanParty something I dont know the model.
whats the name of the cooler?
I know that this thread is kinda dying since the 1200 and the 2nd version of this case came out. But I still wanted to post a few pictures of my painted 900, this thread is what made me buy one! I remember I build a PC for a friend using this case and I HATED it because of the crappy cable management, then I found this thread and fell in love with the thing after seeing what a few holes could do! I started this project almost a year ago (Feb 08) back when I was planning on building a new PC. At the time I figured I would start with a new case, PSU and MB, paint the case and mod it around the PSU and MB. Well I never did end up getting the rest of the parts, but here I am planning a new build again so I wanted to finish up this case and make use of it.
In these pictures it is just mocked up, the top is not actually clipped on for example, so they are not the best but give you an idea. I was thinking of putting another coat of paint to hide some of the thicker spots on it but I decided against it since it is all sanded, besides most of it will be covered with parts anyhow, I just wanted the overall black case look. I also still have to cut a bunch of wire management holes in it, but since they are MB specific I have been waiting until I decide on a new MB to do that. Anyhow let me know what you think so far, the paint job is not the best (how much can you expect for rattle cans?) but I really dig the colors and overall look, the blue is a lot darker in person. I am just torn between putting my current machine in this case (built in 05) or my new i7 build that I am planning, I might using a CM HAF for that though, I really like the design of that case but I still think the 900 looks better.

If I flipped my Antec 850 ps over would I have to cut a hole in the bottom? My picture is above.
No sir- I have the same PSU. Since it is designed with a single fan on the outside by the power switch, it makes no difference which side faces "up" or "down".Quote:

I am debating a custom front panel to eliminate the drive cages, but that's still up in the air. First and foremost, is getting the holes cut for the cable management. My case is an original v1 with no holes in the mobo tray, or for water cooling... so I'm starting with a blank slate there. I have a few really custom ideas in mind that I haven't seen done before on a 900, but I'll make more of those as they start to come together. I'm to the point now, that I feel I can have the case completely done in 6 weeks.
Thanks to everyone in this thread for the ideas and motivation to get started!
No Prob. Thnx. Btw, I may get tired of seeing so many A900's, but I do like the green+black theme, nice work. :yepp: :clap:. P.S. Nice reverse HDD mod. :up:Quote:

without the rear fan housing, I was able to fit a Sapphire HD 4850 x2 in there with room to spare... and it checks in at 11 1/4" long from bracket to tip.Quote:

I'm thinking about moding my 900 v1 case, i have the 120ex HS facing sideways so air in going to the side exhaust fan, I can't remember but i don't think my striker extreme let me turn it the other way around. So I'd like to know a few things.
Has anyone installed a 120mm fan on the side panel with the 120ex facing this way?
Anyone with a striker extreme know if it can be faced the other way? so then i can mod and fit the 120m fan in
Do you guys think it would be a good idea to install two 120mm or two 92mm fan on the glass bit of the 900 like one at the top and one at the bottom? I measured it today and it seems it with the 120s it will fit but i will need something to raise the fans a little because a little bit of the fans will be over the metal or i can just install 2 92s.
Think this will look nice? and produce some good results?
Thanks :)
CD... on the green A900, what feet are those? I really like the black machined feet from MNPCTech, but I can't afford the price. TIA.
You can find those feet at Home Depot. I have seen them in gray and white, but not in black. You would have to paint them.
