Antec Nine Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
As written in the weaknesses... My reset button was out of it's socket and it took me an hour to remove the top of the case.My second Antec case to date. My second deception.I am noting 3 stars because nothing 2 would make the staff have to approuve the comment and I would not get my 100 points.Watch out for pricematch. NCIX has a tendency to slack of on price competitiveness lately. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-22-10 12:39 PM

Best case I have used thus far, it is extremely functional in terms of space and airflow, as well as ease of access to components. Note that the PSU is located at the bottom of the case which may cause issues with some PSUs if mounted upside down (the PSU would be exhausting at the bottom half centimeter of the case)

Comment:
I'll be using this case again for my next build. If you're not using a modular PSU, it can be very frustrating to work with since there is no cable management.

Comment:
I didn't have much expectation when I order this case. As it turns out, I like it more than I thought. It came with the rubber mat for the top holding bay. Nevertheless, the case that I got did not provide enough brass standoff screws. Fortunately, I had some left over from other previous case. Another disappointing about his case is that the thumb screws for the 5.25” bay came assembled with the case is already bend. May not matter to others much but if taking the bay out once and a while to clean the dust will eventually stripe the threads of the bay. Anyway, nice case with good air flows, and quiet--my friend really like it.

One of the best gamer cases on the market, sleek and very professional design.The build quality is exceptional and one will not have filament issues since there's a lot of room to work in.

This case has a large amount of 5.25" drive bays, 4 fans (3 blue LED), and plenty of room for your components. Well designed to handle airflow properly. Attractive and quiet. 2 USB ports on front, 1 firewire, 1 mic, and 1 headphone jack (HD Audio). Would recommend to any PC enthusiast or gamer.

I bought this case on sale for about half the regular price. With all the fans set on the lowest speed, its a very case. I don't use the fans in higher speeds. The fans in front collects dust and dust also passes into the case. The honeycomb mesh doesn't filter it cause the holes are quite large, so i bought 2 filters to put in front of the case. I notice the newer Antec cases have a built in filter system now, so I'd recommend looking at those for lower maintenence.

Comment:
great case with good ventilation especially for the price. would recommend this case for the airflow and expansion bays.

Bought this case in november and it has served me very well. It has a very nice look which could be made better if the inside was black, sleek design and the airflow in this case is excellent. When I clean my room for dust; look no further than inside the computer case, thats how great the airflow is LOLThe case lacks cable management.I think that there should've been more holes in this case, especially 1 close to the power supply where the majority of your cables would go through. With a bit of time and cutting, you can make the cables inside look terrific. As well, this case should've came with dust filters but I guess that's an advantage the 902 has over the 900. All in all, it's a great case and I definitely have no regrets buying it

Great Computer Case. Blue lights can be annoying if you let your computer open at night in your room but anything else is great. Top 200 mm fan is very Silent even at full speed. Greatest airflow I ever see at this price range.

Comment:
The Antec 900 is a solidly built gamer case which is easy to access and nice to look at, especially if the system is built cleanly. The 140mm fan on the top really pushes out a large amount of air and does it with virtually no sound at all due to its size, and the other 3 tri-cool fans also do a good job, although they can be a bit louder if they are turned all the way up.One nuisance I found with the fans is that their fan speed controller is physically attached to the fan, meaning no software fan speed control, since they don't plug into the motherboard. This means whenever the fan speed has to be changed, it has to be done by opening the case, which is annoying.In terms of the room the case provides, it'll fit most video cards, even those really long dual-GPU video cards. So there's tons of room to do whatever you want in there. However, there is a severe lack of cable management which means that you have to be very careful where you put your wires of you'll see a maze of them whenever you stare into your case through the big glass panel on the side.For the price, however, this is a very good entry level gamer case. Not sure if the 900-2 would be better, however.

I bought this case for my new system. This case has excellent airflow and generally awesome. From the reviews I bought this right away. I would buy this case again. So far no problems.

Comment:
I typically run a low power/heat system so the only fan I run is the top fan at low speed and it's whisper quiet. While the antec tri cool 120mm fans have speed switches, they're noticable when they are running. There is lots of space to "store" cables if you don't have a modular psu as well.

Comment:
A good case overall. Enthusiasts may look to replacing the fans and getting filters. Great if you want a good gaming pc (helps my radeon 5850 and phenom ii x4 925 stay cool). But loudness is annoying.

Comment:
I bought this case on sale for $99.99. I could not be more happy with my purchase. The main reason I bought this was for all the hard drive slots. My old tower was maxed out with 2x DVD drives and 2x hard drives. I can now add the extra hard drives I have and not have to worry about anything overheating with the 2x hard drive fans.

Comment:
bought this during a sale for $90. Wish the 902 was on sale. This case has a nice design and nice blue led, but the cable management could be improved. The fans controllers could be improved

Comment:
I like everything about this case except how the PSU mounts. If you run two cards in crossfire (I'm not sure about SLI, but I assume it's the same) there's less than 1" between the bottom video card and the top of the PSU, which also means that the fans mounted in both devices work at cross-purposes. That issue cooked capacitors in my OCZ Gamestream 700.Modding the case to mount the PSU to draw air from outside the case is not easy, but it is effective at removing that issue. Having said that, it's a great cooling solution for overclockers if your intention is to run one video card only.

Comment:
One of the best tower i ever had. Good Ventilation, cheap and perfect size. My GTX 280 ( A Big Video Card) fit perfectly in this box.

Comment:
Bought this for a friend's build. Really long GPU's like the GTX 285 fit just fine. You might have to remove the inner fan bracket though.

Comment:
This is a good gaming case that can be purchased for only, $90 or so. Which is a good price. Also has alot of fans, so no need to worry about cooling.

Comment:
This case has a lot of spaces to let the dust get in. If you plan to put it on the floor and don't pass the vacum weekly your're screwd. Small things or liquid can pass through the upper big fun (not good with kids around). It provides enough space for components and the bays are well designed to fit in the divers. The lights in front can be distrubing if the comp is used as amedia center.

I love my Antec tower 900. I have had it for 3 years and it still cools all my hardware awesomely!The blue lights look awesome and the side windows is great for showing off all your pretty hardware :P

Comment:
picked this one up for around 100$ for a build for a friend. threw it together with a e6750 on a p5k-e and the thing just took off, overclocked to 3.2 from 2.66 with no troubles at all

Comment:
antec alway had made great products and this case is awesome. lots of space for everything and it looks cool to.

I purchased this case as part of my first system build. I was very impressed with the quality of the case. All parts were solid and well made. The cable routing was a little tricky to keep the clear side panel from being blocked. I wound up using sticky backed cable ties to tie the cables out of the way. Included fans work well and look cool.System Build:Antec Nine Hundred Mid Tower Gamer Case 900 ATX 9 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 1394 AudioWestern Digital WD1001FALS Caviar Black 1TB SATA2 7200RPM 4.2MS 32MB 3.5IN Dual Proc Hard DriveLG W2243T-PF 21.5IN 1920X1080 Black 1080P LCD 5ms 30000:1 DVI VGA Monitor ASUS Radeon 4870 Dk 750MHZ 1GB 3.6GHZ DDR5 PCI-E Dual DVI HDCP HDTV Out Video CardLG BH08-LS20 Black BLU-RAY Writer 8X BD-R 16X DVD-R SATA Lightscribe Internal DriveAltech Lansing VS2521 3 Piece Speaker Stereo SystemIntel Core i7 860 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.8GHZ Hyperthreading 8MB CacheASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA1156 P55 DDR3 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 PCI SLI Crossfirex 9SATA GBLAN 1394 MotherboardCorsair XMS3 Dominator 4GB DDR3 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 8-8-8-24 Core i5 i7 Dual Channel Memory KitAntec Earthwatts 750W Modular Power Supply ATX12V V2.2 EPS12V Active PFC 80PLUS 120MM FannGear Flash Card Reader 3.5IN Internal USB Black CF/SM/SDHC/MMC/MS/XD 18IN Cable
