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

[=>WiLL<=]

to be honest i didn't really see a reduction in temps with the spotcool on the northbridge, but it's there for piece of mind

My DS3R does not have a NB temp sensor, only a motherboard temp. To get the motherboard temps lower I believe you need a fan blowing under and towards the video card. That is where the motherboard sensor is located.

Does anybody know how to attach the HD Audio and AC 97 connects with the Antec Nine Houndred with a Creative xtreme Gamer Pro? If I want to use the inputs on top of the case with the creative card how do I hook them up? Do the attachment connect with the motherboard or the sound card?

If you are using the card I think you are using, then on your card there should be 2 10-pin connectors on your card. One faces towards the front of your case (parallel to the card itself) and one that faces towards the side of your case (its at a 90 degree angle to the card itself). Plug the HD Audio connector (Not the AC 97 connector - you can only connect one at a time, not both) into the one that faces towards the front of the case. It should be keyed so that it only plugs in in the correct manner, but if not you should double check your manual.

Looking darn good Will! Someday I will get off my ass and paint mine.

[=>WiLL<=]

Next plan will be to replace the 4 120 fans... 3 up front and 1 rear exhaust, with these:

ENERMAX MAGMA


1500 RPM
69.15 CFM
18 dBA

Also I still have to mount that bottom eSATA bracket to the side of the PSU (out of sight).

Since I have replaced my blue LED case feet, I will use the wires and solder 2 of the 4 lights with red LEDs (2 red, 2 blue), and mount 1 of them lower left behind the red hibiscus flower sticker, so it glows.

After all the cases i have used since the 900, i have found myself back to the 900 again, its just a damn good case!!

[=>WiLL<=]

AND...

The 900 is not DISCONTINUED like I thought. It's still for sale!

(Nice profile pic by the way)

This shot was taken about 2 months ago.

[outbreak42]

I love the shot with the video card... it's a magazine frontpage shot. What camera do you have?

[=>WiLL<=]

I know it was a new $300-400 Canon. I borrowed it while a friend was in town.

The other shot of the inner roof, was supposed to show the lack of wires, even from the 200mm fan \rr/_

[Hughyhunter]

Nice desk set up will. Good job at hiding all the wires... including the ones on the outside!!!

[alex17 GTX]

It's one of the nicest ANtec 900 i've seen arround. Good job.

[stevensl2]

ANTEC 900 > ALL!
i dont paint the inside of my case cuz. bugs fly into my fans and then some land on the bottem inside the case and some gets SHOT out by the 200mm fan on top XD
i shall be upgrading my 8800gt soon ;D

[stevensl2]

WiLL as usual the case amazes me bro...hows the dust factor in there and your desk is SPOTLESS lol mine is filled with wires underneath...great wire management

As far as those replacement fans i was looking at them a while back but i was not sure if they had led's, do you plan on modding them for led's or you do not care for the led's??

The dust is not that big of a deal. I take the case outside and blast it with compressed air, then I windex a few things.

The wire management started with the 900, then led to my desk, and then my living room, kitchen -- anywhere there are wires hanging out.

The front fans used to have a nice dark blue LED (darker than the aqua green tricools), but after time, I got sick of the amount of light at night when going to sleep. So I took the fans out, and cut the wires going to the leds.

I like light, but I like it more when they can be shut off by a switch.

i use compressed air also for dust

[Got_Vtec?]

nice i too use compressed air i just wanted to see if you get a lot of dust in there....ever since i did my wire management i dont get half the amount of dust that i used to lol

LOL SAME !

Seems like the dust has less stuff (wires) to catch on to... so it gets sucked in and then sucked out
