I stumbled on these user review of the Antec 900, I thought it was very educative and I like user review because they paid for the product and usually have a few expectation that should match yours. Plus many people inquire about the 900 that should give them some insight.

Here's the not positive one

Positive review
Now the positive one is mainly the reason I am posting this. A fair amount of mod are done by the user, these mod are rather easy and the final result is really cool. I though 3lfk1ng and others could get a kick out of it even though it is basic moding.



Un modded (1st review)


Modded , how cool is that, really worth the effort IMO.(2nd 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.
