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

[Fredthered]

Hi Guys
Just a few mods to get you thinking.
(a couple of them have been done before, though).
First the 'usual' PSU mod, and alternative USB location (to save an expansion slot) :


A 4mm plywood 'blanking plate' (with a little 'weatherstrip' surround on the reverse side), if you can't, or don't want to fit a side 120mm fan :


A 'Deflector plate', to channel smoother airflow from the lower drivecage, directly towards the GPU (preventing 'eddy' currents in the PSU area) :


A 'Heatsink support bracket', to stop the Thermalright, (or maybe Tuniq Tower etc.), tearing a CPU sized hole in your m/b ! (O.K. if you ' LanParty ')


A 1 x FDD & 2 x HDD Drive cage (from scrap case) modded to fit Nine-Hundred,
allowing completely unobstructed airflow from both front 120's :



Centre of Thermalright backplate removed, and hole cut in m/b plate to prevent heat 'build up', reverse of CPU socket :


Showing reverse side of motherboard (CPU socket).


Corresponding hole cut in side panel, and mesh grille added :


If you feel you need a little extra cooling, 'chuck' in a fan, from an old graphics card ! :


(if anyone needs any further details, just drop me a PM).

Cheers for now
