Just got it all setup, I put in my cheap and quiet 120mm fan as a side fan in the case, and than set all the tri-cool fans to low and im currently stressing the system to see how hot I could get it, but already the temp is alot lower than my previous case
Oh did I also mention quieter as well. The LED's also don't seem to bright so I may actually not end up ripping them out. And I hate to idmit it but it does give a cool effect looking at them with how the light shines on them. Though I think that this is bad I may end up killing time looking at the pretty lights than working, I can see it now *looks at pretty lights* Ohh it's shiney too.....
*edited in, after I got done looking at the pretty LED lights, yeah im easily distracted*
The temps in my case also dropped a good 20celsius while looking at the temps, while comparing it to the temps I got from it last night. I can't manage to get my CPU past 40celsius, and I can't get my GPU past 64celsius. And this is while running furmark, and than prime 95, than both at the same time to try to build up as much heat in here as possible. Yesterday the highest I got the CPU up to was 60celsius and 80-85celsius in that range for the GPU, and this is with ambiant temp around 60-65faraheit. So im quite happy with the coolling ability.
Gotta idmit though it took me forever to asemble this, about 4hours to tear down my old case and build up this antec 900, about 3hours longer than I expected. Now I just have to start building those air filters from an old screen door and pieces of scrap metal I have laying around.

It was also a big determing factor why I got the 900, it had more tri-cool fans in it and I could walk away with it cheaper than I could with the 300 if I tried to outfit it with tricool fans as well. I think to outfit the 300 with a couple extra fans it would have set me back about $80 (including case) and thats without tax, and leaving the side fan empty as well for my cheap fan I have laying around. So the 900 was cheaper too.
After building this thing im happy I did go with 900 because that little extra depth in the case makes a difference when trying to set this thing up, if it wern't for that extra inch or so I have with this one I think all the wires would be overlapping my video card instead of sitting right next to it being tied down.
