Antec 900, bad and good review.

do you have temp problem with your graphic card nearest to the power supply.

i see you invert your power supply

but power supply suck air from casing.

and your graphic card also suck air onto the GPU.

so they are fighting each other. this reduce your gpu cooling and also produce a massive vibration in your case.

do you hear a lot of noise? do you feel massive vibration of casing.

if you continue to use it as on your photo. i think you will say bye bye to your graphic card very soon.

1rst, I dont think that is actually his case, just the one that was featured in the second review, and second, isn't there a fan on the side panel that blows air directly above the ps and below the graphic card?

not shown on picture

and too high to be any help

I guess I don't see what you are saying in terms of creating a massive vibration and ruining the graphics card.

The sound card is between the PSU fan and the HR-03 fan and even if it weren't, the fans are far enough apart to get all the airflow they will need.

Even forgetting the nice swapping for the CPU and GPU coolers and the PSU, just the improved cable routing does wonders for the appearance, and I'm sure to some extent the airflow, of the case.

In my case, I have all the cables fairly neatly tucked away except for one annoying molex that has to power my side fan. And the other thing is I'm looking forward to there being good SATA optical drives down the road. I've stayed away from them so far because I've heard poor reviews, but I don't like the big flat IDE cable. Also, in the next few months, my current drive will be worn out.

As far as cases go, I think the next one I get will be when I move over to BTX motherboards.

well ur wrong, with the cables fixed place, and the fans in drive bay, this case is as cool as any iv ever seen, the extensions can be gotten and used, and this thing can be modded very well, and the air flow is more than enough for psu and graphics as i run two 4870s in +fire on the asus m4a79 delux and temps are very good.remember the psu and graphics both vent out from exaust escape. the case will be somewhat loud when running full oc and set to max speed,but iv never felt vibration, and at medium or low its not loud by any means, the cable setup could have been thought out better,but no case is perfect for everyone, in my estemation this is a very good case. for the mony u wont beat it, anyone looking for a good midtower case should give this thing a good looking over.

Unfortunately no one who previously posted on this thread is present. So whomever you are telling "well ur wrong" likely has a new system. You are replying to a thread last posted to on December 17, 2006.

I have several SATA optical drives - Samsung, LG, and one LITEON. The LITEON died within 6 months. One of my Samsung's has been running for almost three years.

And BTX motherboards are dead.

On the original topic, I like Antec 900 cases. But I'm not blind.

The cooling is good enough that I am prepared to overlook the warts - primarily it's not a toolless case (I have lot's of screwdrivers   ) and the abysmal cable management. Taking a little time to cut 3 well placed holes cures that. And cutting a fourth hole right below the CPU socket permits me to remove a cooler backing plate without removing the motherboard.

Or you can simply get something like a CM690 or HAF932.
