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

[mike900]

Hi peeps' I'm pretty sure it's posted at least 10 time before but since I don't like browsing all those pages I'm asking you; What size is the fan on the sidepanel of the Antec 900? ( Like this one: http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/6470/sideextxr4.jpg )

Cheers!

[Xope_Poquar]

Every fan except for the top one is 120mm, the top being 200mm.

Who are you ?

LOL WHAT THE I JUST SAW THAT TO LMAO

[Guyver3]

Here's mine, please be gentle as this is my first ever custom build.

[ScottAllyn]

Yikes Guyver! It looks like a giant tie-dyed cat hacked up a hairball inside your case!

I know, I know, I'm gonna sort the cable management out as soon as I have the time.

Guyver--> is that the latest revision of 900? it has 3 wire management hole.Btw, what fan did u use for front?

[cabbspapp]

You should pull the stickers off the fans, it would probably look better.

[MJR]

wow I had no idea thsi case was so popular

Trust me you should have done it as you were building the system because it'll be a lot more hassle taking everything off to get the wires sorted out...... need to post my system up, I finished it like 2 weeks ago but I'm waiting for a new DVD Drive so I can use a Sata cable instead of that silly huge connection (old school one)

The only other hole was the little one behind the psu, and the fans were
Xilence Red Wing Case Fans 120mm

Yeah they look c@&p when stationary but okay when in motion so thats why I left em on and kudos on the Kenji Harima avatar he's one of my favourite anime characters.

The sticky leftovers would trap dust to the fan.
Might like to clean with suggestions from:

the 2 holes in your second pic are the only wire management holes. dont know where he got 3 from.

I count that 3 at the latest revision


So it's easier to manage cable unlike the earlier version that has to be modded like i did when i still have this case. U can make extra hole at the top of mobo tray so cpu cable can be slipped from the hole next to the psu

Well I've finally gotten around to taking pics of my 900, enjoy:

This little computer below was my first ever build so I'm still proud of it , but a change had to be made especially with the warmer climate over here.




Ok I didn't have to cut that large hole sitting between the original two cutouts, I'm a first time dermal user and got a bit carried away with it all, plus I was using the OP's guide lines which were based on an older version of mine, realized it when it was too late, but anyway it's ok because you can't see it once the MB is on

I've bought proper rubber sealing for the edges but this was a temporary solution which worked well and I haven't been bothered to change them.


First time I do anything related to using a solder or even cutting wires, quite chuffed with myself











Any comments or criticism's are welcome (well not too much criticism)

[SpazBoy357]

Good looking rig, Defratos.

One question: Why did you use 8 feet on the case?

[Defratos]

lol I know I go a bit carried away, main reason was because I had a little bit of an overhang and didn't want the rig tipping over if it was front side heavy. I know I could have probably achieved the same result if I just used 6, but since I had 8 I just stuck 'em all in there (Shouldn't topple over in the event of an earthquake )

[HuffPCair]

Thats a smart idea with the PSU I should try that with mine

[Defratos]

^ Yup, quite a few people in this thread have done the same mod which is where I got the idea. I just had to use the most retarded tool to cut the hole =P, so I had to score the circle first and then I cut it with a dermal, really happy with it as my old system had the fan facing into the case right on top of the Graphics card which sucked.

^ Great! But you never commented on my rig build.....now that's just rude
