A Positive Look at the Antec Nine Hundred (900) Case

[MidgetMariachi]

Yikes Guyver! It looks like a giant tie-dyed cat hacked up a hairball inside your case!

LOL!!! Maybe he's got cats?

[Bgriffs]

That is either from Meet the Parents or Meet the Fokkers, not sure which anymore... so don't be too alarmed

[Defratos]

I like that kaze master on the 900. looks sweet!

Thanks...I'm getting some good ideas looking through the photos on this forum too-

[Defratos]

Nice case Buddy, whats the name of that fan controller you have up front?

[al-]

It's the Scythe "KAZE MASTER" 5.25" Bay Fan Controller...

[Defratos]

sweet looks like I might get one too, did you have to change the original fans that came with the 900 to be able to hook them to the fan controller? and can you also have them connected to the MB?

Yeah, the original Antec fans are 4-pin molex (and lacking an RPM wire). The 'Scythe' uses 3-pin connectors (for 3-pin fans). The Yate Loon's can be connected to the motherboard, however, they are not 'PWM'.

[Defratos]

hummm 'PWM'? and what is Yate Loon's?

[al-]

hummm 'PWM'? and what is Yate Loon's?

'PWM' Function=The fans' speed is controlled automatically by the PWM function from the motherboard (which adjusts the fan speed for you)...also, a 'PWM' 'Function-Ready' motherboard is required.

Yate Loons'=Great case fans, cheap price --

Hi all,

Just ordered my EVGA 780I mobo, 1000W Antec PSU, 4GB OCZ memory DDrR2 800, and finishing my painting this week for my build..

Just wanted to get some opinions on a "CPU heatsink/cooler" Air not liquid..?? The big 120?, Zulman, Not sure what to get... pros cons? Thanks alot all. this board is great..

[DaIceMan]

I've used a Tuniq Tower 120 in my 900, and it did quite well, but for the money it's hard to beat the Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro 7. I ordered one for a client this weekend from newegg and it was less than $20 now. It does as good or a couple degrees better on my E8400 than the Tuniq did, and it's lighter and puts much less stress on your motherboard. It's not a real flashy unit like some of the Zalman coolers, but I like it a lot.

[R104_for]

Still need to arrange..




Before.

Well I finally figured out the stupid fan problem, was just a setting on the smart fan options in the BIOS...thank god.

But I do have a general question for all 900 owners. If you guys are using the front headphone jack are you getting a TON of system noise. My speakers are nice and quite if plugged into the back of the case, but when i plug in either my speakers or my headphone into the front stereo jack I can pretty much hear my CPU saying "0001110101110110110101101100110!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !". 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
