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

[DoNER90]

I did some mods to my side panel , have a look

[Xander]

Yes--you can fit a thin rad like a BIP or Xflow 220 under there. I used acrylic block off plates to help force the air through--the results were less than stunning but it does work.

Nuts. Re-re-design then.

Now where did I put that drawing board??

Infinate, cheers..UKWhite huh ?....dont take this the wrong way as its been 12 years since I left England but is that Leeds ?

Good luck with your build

Yup

[usblades]

Always been a bit partial to Leeds since Keith Edwards played for em.
You guys are on fire this season...then again starting with -15 you had to be

[ZenFire]

Could you give some tips on hiding the SATA cables Timber.

Could you give some tips on hiding the SATA cables Timber.

my suggestion is

I'd dremel a hole in the mobo tray as near as poss to where the sata ports are on the mobo (or possibly even under the mobo if they will fold back underneath it )
then another hole in side of the drive cage support ( on same side as back of mobo tray) - cables will then come out from underneath the drives to the ports

i would sleeve/bundle the visible portions of the cables as well

hope this helps

prep the hdd's inside thier cage then place it in the case. place the sata cable in from the side holes (which is alreadry existing, i did not make a hole there anymore, except its a little bit tricky)on the back portion to connect to the hhds and the other end out the holes underneath the motherboard(should you make one)... choose a good placement for the holes that is best for your board... sorry, will try to post pics as soon as photobucket is ok...
goodluck

First attempt doing this... could of turned out better with a little more planning, but it is an improvement to what it was :/

those are nice, but too huge, can you please resize them... thank you

[skeelz]

oops sorry, fixed size '.'b

[Brian MP5T]

Take the unused wires and shove them out the hole between the PSU and the back wall..

[InfiniteDreamer]

Skeelz - i'd also run your cpu power cable up the back of mobo tray and make a hole near top of mobo tray near to where cpu power socket is - bring it out there

I've been meaning to post these for a while but I've had to wait on being activated or something. My case:

That was my actual intent, but alas, the cpu power cable was a bit short

I'm thinking if u cut another hole closer to the psu that it might reach, as the cpu cable was about an inch short.

you can buy cpu extension cables - ebay

you need something like this



I Had to buy one of these myself - for the very same reason

[skeelz]

ah cool, did not know those existed @.@ thanks for that info Infinite

[Brian MP5T]

Got another Computer (Green) but Red and Blue One is still Main Rig..

[timber715]

nice pictures, now can we see the whole thing? in one picture perhaps?

[Brian MP5T]

^ It looks like all the other 900's, Except, three fans in the front..

Well I like the ooptical at the bottom. Not sure if the contrasting color is right though. Maybe paint the optical a perfect match or some more interesting contrast like metallic blue.

If you are up to it you could paint the interior. A dark charcoal metallic perhaps.

Is the 24 pin cable long enough to route through the back? If not then maybe an extender (sheathed) so you could just pop it through beside the mobo header and have the rest stealthed?

Thats what I'm wondering all along.

No one here seems to route the 24pin from the back.

If it's too short, you can always use a extender.

Maybe it's too thick ?

I beg your pardon.
