Question regarding Antec Nine Hundred and PSU

[lv426]

Hi there

I've just ordered a Antec Nine Hundred case and its just occurred to me, as the PSU is at the bottom of the case, will I have problems connecting the 4pin 12v cable to the motherboard.

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R (4pin is at the top edge)

and the PSU is a Corsair HX620w

Try cableclub.com. Under "power supply internal cable" they have a 'power supply to pentium 4 motherboard power cable' that might be long enough to use as an extension for $3.25.

cheers, have found the answer in the following post

quote from inquisitor 03"As for the PSU you will not have a problem with cable length. I've got 3 HDDs, 2 DVD/RW and all 5 fans require a molex connector. All these i have managed to plug in to my 620hw no problem, all cables have reached with length to spare."

I haven't seen a power supply yet that will not reach. But, The cables aren't long enough to do a good job a far as hiding it. I like to snake things along and hide what I can. Unfortunately with this case you have to keep it in the open towards the back of the case, and over top of everything.

I will say though, if using a large after market heatsink and fan, plug the 4/8 pin cable in before you put it on your board, or you may have problems trying to plug it in later.

I was considering a 900 case and wondering the same thing. Thanks all.

I have the same exact setup that you have, and i didnt have any problems at all, but it was alittle tight tho.

I have this same case and had no problems. This will partially depend on the power supply. I built another system using this same case and I couldn't get that cable to reach then I realized that the PSU will bolt in either direction and problem solved.

Like swifty said you have wires running across your components and you will have to get creative routing them to look neat.

Same case, same PSU, same MoBo... no problems at all connecting cords.

Hi

Check out the cable management in this vid I found on youtube.

You need to drill holes, but it looks good.

That looks just like my system on the inside. I have the same CPU cooler. He has a slightly better CPU but I have a better video card and 2 more gigs of ram.

Very nice wiring. I will have to look at mine and see if that's doable.

Thanks for the vid...
