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

[stevensl2]

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

hey man, the 8600gt is kind of... outdated? it dont think it can compete with the newer cards now.

He's waiting for the prices to drop on the new cards, just like I am doing.

Hi all,

A week ago I made some holes for the cables and to flip mu PSU up side down(bought a new one).
A few days ago, I bought a new PSU and some extra CCFL's(Greeb and UV).
This is how it looks like now:





I hope I have resized the pictures enough.

Could someone also make a well detailed guide for me how to spraint the case inside black or pm me?
I would really really appreciate that. Please, also tell me which sand paper I need and how much grid, how many hours to dry, how may layers etc.

Greetz,
Gelu

I wasn't really talking about the kind of card he had. I meant the quality of the picture.

haha dude i wasnt talking about it either, i was talking about your card X
the price of the 8800gt is very low right now

[outbreak42]

I don't need it yet. I'm running Bioshock on high and not buying Crysis for a while. The kind of work I do with my rig doesn't need a 8000 series yet neither. To tell you the truth, by the time I need a VGA upgrade, I'll just get a 9K series.

by the time I need a VGA upgrade, prices on the slot loading Blu-Ray players will be reasonable

Nice work with the 900, i´m tempted to get some CFFL´s myself, anything i need to know if i decide to buy for example UV and Green/ red?

[Loser777]

Ready to drop in my P5Q-E...
Right side panel barely goes on... I can feel a small bump on the side where the wires go too high.

[Bubbaxm2]

Looking good!
Gelu how is that Accelero working out for you? I am thinking of grabbing a couple for my 4850's.

[stevensl2]

EAT ME! im getting a 4870 soon if i cant afford a 4870x2 whenever thats coming out.

[Madcat20xac]

Gelu you should change the fan on your hyper 212 because it's facing downwards and it's a sleeve type, so it won't get proper lubrication. I have a S flex on mine currently

Hole-saw bits attached to a drill will be a better way to cut clean holes, in various sizes, in your case. From my experience, dremels are good for square holes, but a royal pain if you are using cutting wheels that break every 2 minutes. I cannot help ya much with stuff in the UK, since I am in the States.

Hole saws are the way to go for sure just make sure to get one that cuts metal.(fine tooth)

I always use some automotive vacuum line sliced down one side around the hole to give a nice clean finish and protect the wires from shorting.

I went to a DIY store today i could find and hole saws only the ones for wood and the biggest size i could also find was about 70 max. Are you sure there are no other ways to do this dosnt have to be a neat hole but clean would be nice. (I'm trying to cut a hole under the Antec Nine Hundred for the PSU fan).

Thanks.

You need to look around more they are out there.

They also make kits with various diameter bits

Maybe make some phone calls to local stores and make things quicker.

Hi guys,
My first post :





Give me your advice pls =)

[YMAA]

I like the acoustic matting job, and the wiring job is very clean. Change out the stock CPU cooler for something better, like an Ultima-90i from Thermalright!

[french user :(]

I'll buy the Noctua NH-U12P (cpu cooler) and the thermalright HR 03 for my graphic card
