 A Dream to Build |
| Review Date: February 7, 2010 |

This will have been my fifth build over the last 12 years and this case was an absolute dream to assemble with only a couple drawbacks.
It speaks "Look at me" if you go with a blue theme it is wild to look at.
As for features I liked the placement of the front ports and the top recessed tray is handy to lay little thing in.
This case is basically solid construction but i found the the pull out fan drive cages are a pain to pull out.
Try and put them back in often they will get jammed and not slide back into place.
The fan intake filter screens clog quickly if you livein a dusty home and you will need to clean them every couple of weeks.
Plus the optional 120mm fan mount on the side internaly if used will get in the way of most tall graphic cards or internal water cooler rigging. Such was my problem but i just reversed the fan mount to outside the case and installed a fan grille.
It is sweet to look at in the dark but i will say it is loud like a fan running in the summer time.
I still love this case. |
Cool looking case.

| Putting it together wasn't as easy as I would have liked, but otherwise this is an excellent case. |
Great case

This is one of the best case designs I have ever seen. The big boy fan on top and the other fans keep the computer very cool, but they are also surprisingly quiet. The fully customizable drive bays are designed well, allowing for many different configurations. The bottom mounting for power supply makes sense; I always hated having power cables hang down and interfere with case fans and other things.
The IO port on top is handy for plugging in usb, firewire or audio devices. And the case comes with blue lights pre-installed around the front and back fans, and the case looks good. The little "ipod shelf" (or whatever you want to call it) is also a nice bonus.
I had a couple small complaints. There are no air filters to control dust. And the top panel had only 2 usb ports; I would have liked at least 4 ports. Still a good case and not too expensive. |
Good enthusiat's case.

I built a new system for my son with this case. I was able to install 2 DVD drives; a floppy drive; 3 hard drives; and a video card with no problems.
The best part about this case is that my son likes to see all the colors and then fans moving. |
Excellent case with few issues

| Overall i recommend this case because it does exactly what it was designed to do, keep your computer components running cool. After reading a few reviews, I decided to get this case and I was not disappointed. I recently purchased the i5 750 with an Nvidia 260 gtx with the P55 mobo. This system runs very cool even after moderate over clocking. I have seen in other reviews that the 200 mm fan blades are brittle so, I took extra care of avoiding them while installing the components. Also cable management can be a bit difficult in the Antec 900 but manageable. One thing i didn't like is that this unit was not designed with filters. Even after moderate use, this case tends to accumulate dust very quickly due to excellent ventilation that the case provides. I had to purchase two 120 mm aluminum fan filters and install them on the two hard drive cages to help minimize dust getting on the inside. Overall though, this case is well built and well designed and fulfills its intended purpose to keep your system components cool. |
Love this case

| This was my first attempt at building my own computer. I selected this case on price, features and other reviews. This case was everything and more that I had expected. I like the clear side, adds character to it and the blue neon lights are cool. Plenty of room inside for adding extra hard drives and cd/dvd players and the ease of doing at was exceptionally easy with the way the slides work and they mount. Plenty of USB ports front and back, over all I am very well satisfied with this case. |
Get the Nine Hundred Two instead

| Very snazzy chassis, but be forewarned it does not have an alert speaker for BIOS beeps. |
Antec 900 ATX Gamer Case Review

| Reviewer: Eric A. Rodriguez, |
LETS START BY SAYING THAT THIS CASE HAS MORE SPACE THAN YOU WILL EVER NEED UNLESS YOU NEED TO RUN TRIPLE SLI FUNCTIONS. I BOUGHT MINE AND THOUGHT I WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR MY ZALMAN'S COPPER EXTREMELY LARGE CPU FAN BUT IT FIT PERFECTLY. I ALSO HAVE A LOT OF THINGS IN MY BOX THAT WOULD NEVER FIT ANYWHERE ELSE. THE FOUR FANS AND BAYS FOR DRIVES IS IN FACT GREAT. PLENTY OF BREATHING ROOM FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT AND FOR THOSE THAT DONT YOU CAN TONE DOWN THE FANS AND STILL GET WAY ACCEPTABLE NUMBERS ON THE TEMP INSIDE THE BOX. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR HIDING CABLES AND ANYTHING YOU DONT WANT TO BE SEEN. MY PARENTS WERE SO AMAZED BY THE LED'S AND THE SIZE OF THE CASE THAT THEY HAD ME ORDER PARTS AND MAKE THEM A COMPUTER. OF COURSE SINCE THEY MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY THAN I DO I GOT THEM ABSOLUTELY HIGH END QUALITY ITEMS. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE ARE TWO HAPPY CUSTOMERS IN MY FAM. I HAVE MESSED WITH A FEW FULL ATX CASES AND SO FAR I LIKE THIS ONE THE BEST.
