Nice job on that cable management re-do, Sabre. I bet you got a fair framerate increase with that new GPU. :D

What case is that, Sabre?

Fantastic clean up job! Looks great!

Love the 900 mods. I have been happy with mine right out of the box but you guys have definately taken it to a new level.

Very nice mods guys. I really like being able to see the progression of a rig, from your air cooled board, to the new Asus board, liquid cooling, and new GPU.

I definitely don't like the 900 in its stock form, but it seems like a very nice "blank slate" for mods, and with some work I was quite pleased with the one I modded for a friend.

i have ben folowing this post for a while and i like the antec 900 so i was wondering if this is this a good set up for a first time pc build i want it to be a gaming pc i have a 2 other 120mm fans on order, the fan speed controler,and aome red lights

I'd check the measurements of the 'Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME v2' to see if the Antec900 side-fan has clearance (it's tight in there)...

Ill try to get pics up of my mod I did it is nothing major just cut a few holes to run my ipod cable under the plastic so that you cant see it and it runs into that little storage spot on top of the case.

Only problem is I somehow ended up breaking two blades off the big fan on top so I need to get that replaced now.

Hey guys,
Im new to xtremesystems, but i've been following this thread since the day i bought my own Antec 900 ! (almost a year now).
I first wanted to tell you all you did make great mods for this case, which i find absolutely great !
I decided, like most of you to remedy to the few negative things about the case, like the lack of cable management holes, and the undone paintjob in the interior.

Unfortunately, i don't have any pics of my rig before the big "summer cleaning" ( i.e. the cable management mod ) but some could say you're lucky you don't have to see it :)

This is the way i mounted the hard drives : notice the way i mounted them backwards. I had to drill a hole on the side to make the cables come through.

Here you can see the way i drilled the holes, and the paintjob I did (i had to, the marks left by my drilling were awful :( )

Here is a close up of the side where the cables for the hard drives come out :

Because i decided to make a clean cable management, i had to make the cpu power cable come behind de motherboard, but it wasn't long enough, so i had to make it longer

In this picture you can see my front panel that enables me to control my fans.

These 3 last pics show the final cable management in all it's splendor :)

Nice rig... :up:

I even bought a custom Watercooling ! I'll hopefully recieve the delivery tomorrow, i'll keep you updated about the integration ;) It will be tricky, but i think i found a way to get it up in a clean way.

By the way, XtremeSystems is an excellent forum, :clap:

Change the CPU cooler :)
