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

[jwood314]

Hor$eman, thank you for the information. I will attach a couple of photos. Well, at least try. EE is an electrical engineer, got tired of it and joined the Air Force. I like hardware, horrible at software.

I like to do wire splicing, if the power supply dies though, the next one won't look as nice for a while. Once the board is in, the wires protruding from the motherboard tray will be shortened as much as possible.

My tools arrived from Harbor Freight today! Took forever, but the price was right, so I can finish cutting the holes I need, and hopefully reinstall the motherboard tonight. I should have a few more picture this weekend.

While this is not a totally crazy mod, no bondo or fiber glass, it meets my needs of maximum quiet air flow. This box is on 24/7, and quieter is better.

After this is finished, I will work on the wife's PC, and take what I learned form this. Close to the same type of work, but there is a fan controller I am adding and some reverse HDD. Must hide cables, cables are the enemy.

If I did not absolutely have to have this motherboard working again, I would loose a ton of data on Windows Home server, I would take all of the headers used for the front of the case, HDD light, PS, Reset, USB, and remove the headers from the mother board, flip them around, and rebuild the cables. That would be a great many more cables completely hidden. I will end up with a spare mother board once this is over with, most likely will buy another 900, I prefer the rev 1 though, and do that to it. I don't believe the SATA are through hole, I think they are surface mount.

I am very glad again I found this site.

Cheers,
James
