**NEW** Antec Nine Hundred TWO!

http://www.antec.com/usa/productDe [...] s&id=15920

nuff said? well i'll elaborate anyway. looks to me somewhere between the 1200 and the 900, with the 1200 style top fan and "flat" styling. notice the top angles of the 900 compared to the... 900-2? or 902?

probably the most revolutionary feature though, something a lot of people have been wanting for AGES in factory cases - a pre-painted inside!

so, modders - no more taking the case apart, sanding it down and coating 9 layers of primer, paint and clearcoat - its already done for you!

still not that much revolution imo, just a new look and a fresh coat of paint.. still. interesting.

That is looking nicer.

Cable management would be a must for me..if one isnt made soon im going to custom one up then.

If they went through all of that trouble to make a new 900-ish case, I would have hoped that they would at least make it better looking. It looks like some kid was given random parts from the old 900 and some crazy glue. The fan on top purposely looks out of place. UGLY!!!!

yeah but how do you keep the dust out of the Coolermaster HAF 932?

Just use panty hose or drier sheets (bounce, etc) for air filters. They work very well as long as you clean them often enough; they'll collect more than just your standard case filter most of the time and if they get too clogged up you'll get less airflow.

I purchased the original Antec 900 from the Egg over BF for $65, and I have to say, if I had purchased this case at the original price of over $100, I would have been extremely disappointed. For $65, for what I got, I'd say it was about as much I would have paid for it. It was a disappointment from all the good reviews I've seen of it and felt cheap and unrefined. I also own the 1200 version, and I'm glad Antec is remodeling the 900v2 after this design. A much needed improvement over the original 900.

I just hope that the new antec 900 uses the drive cages from the antec 1200. Threading the screw into the actuall HDD was a nightmare w/o the long screws the antec 1200 includes.

I looked at the 900 but ending up choosing the Antec P190.

See a video review @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZy1PPgdCr0

It may be hard to find the P190 but it is worth it. The P182 is made to look like the 190 without the psu's. The P182 is made out of cheaper material.

I have built about 20 gaming machines and the P190 is the best case that I have seen.

Great cable management with 5 big fans. 1200 watts of PSU included.

The only downside besides cost is the side mounted 200mm fan. This makes it difficult to mount a big heat sink. I bought the V8 for my I7 and am going to try to mount the fan on the outside or remove it altogether.

Wow, a non-support thread?!

Thanks for the link, that case looks great! I love my 900, but a pre-painted inside looks awesome.

Hard to say- I've only seen a couple in my short time here.

mmm, i'm not that keen on the HAF tbh. just seems a bit... boxy. squarish. angular. whatever. i doubt i'll ever stop luvin the CM 690

as for the air filters... just buy your own LOL! cheese, if you care about washing your air filters that much - just buy some! silly consumers..

Hi Fullmetal,

The 900 Two has a Cable management system built-in with ties to hold your cables down. Sorry, it's not mentioned on the website. We will try to get the features information updated ASAP.

LOL did this just turn into a "support" thread?
