Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black Gaming Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
Solid case, looks good. Fans are quiet and a lot of space for cable management including space to route cables behind the motherboard mounting. Simple to get into the case and drive bays are quickly accessible. I located the lead wires for main power switch, hdd and reset to be a small short for clean routing to my gigabyte motherboard, but it's long adequate when stretched across the motherboard and underneath the graphics card overhang. Overall, am really pleased with the case and would advocate it. Absolutely nothing that detracts from the rating. It would be good if they put a a lot more evident notice relating to the place of the downloadable user manual - maybe a vivid colored insert. I figured I didn't will need it, and I spent some time receiving the fan power connected correctly in order for my system to power up. You have to meticulously appear by way of the integrated paperwork to locate the URL for downloading the user manual.

I've had this case over a year now and believed I'd throw in my two cents. -Good situation no complications at ALL.-Extremely solid, excellent amount of weight.-Fans are excellent with extremely simplistic fan controllers.-Looks astounding as you can currently inform :D-Will keep everything good and cool with 4 fans, two intake two exhaust + a side vent which you can throw in yet another fan but it's certainly overkill. Only negative factor I can say is that you cannot turn off the front two and the back LED's. Not a big deal due to the fact they don't get bright but I would have enjoyed the solution. If you are thinking of shopping for this case, don't consider anymore, just do it. You won't regret this, you can't, this case is great and will do anything + a lot more that a mid-size tower is supposed to do.

-Really quiet fans included (but see below)-Great cable routing choices-Looks excellent -200mm fan is proprietary, so you require to go to Antec to get a replacement when it dies (it has a strange shape, so normal fan won't fit). -The 120's have proprietary variable speed controls -You can not plug case fans into (or monitor via) pin-outs on your motherboard unless you acquire/make an adapter.-Drive mounts require uncommon screws to mount them (they require to be about 1-1.five" lengthy)-"Special" SSD mount on bottom is a discomfort to get at, and kind of useless.-A lot of drive bays, but don't program on using more than 2 three.five drives in this, as there isn't enough room with a significant video card mounted. All in all, this situation has big aspirations but is kinda lame. The notion of all these drive bays is good, but unless you have 2.five" drives, don't strategy on producing a lot use of the bays, as there simply isn't sufficient room if you have a massive video card (a la XFX ati-6950 based card).The best 200mm was grinding a bit the other day, and it annoys the heck out of me that I have no alternatives but to go to Antec for a replacement. But, I imply, for the price tag, I guess the situation is "ok". But, my old Lian Li case blows this one particular out of the water in create high quality and usable functions... but, it was 2x the cost, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Rally like this case. Plenty of fan with the big boy on top. Easy swap of the hdd , plenty of space to work inside. Front usb 3 is a must.

Very well-constructedEasily swappable fans; Four 3-speed fans built in.Computer system feels like it's an air conditioner and not a space heaterAesthetically pleasing with the lights and pretty great cable management Could superior placement for the cable management holes, but that has a lot to do with how your motherboard is set up and the length of your energy cables. I had to run my CPU power up along the board as an alternative of by the cable management, but that was largely due to the short cable. I had to take off the inner optional fan mount to get my SATA cables in mainly because I have a sabertooth X58 motherboard and the SATA connecters point off the edge of the Mobo.My EVGA 9800GTX+ is a bit of a tight squeeze and the case could not fit the HD6950 I'm arranging on acquiring

Great searching situation, incredibly effortless to operate with. Motherboard standoffs are preinstalled (I had to add a couple far more, all included) and there are considerations for cable management that operate fairly effectively (effectively creates an location behind the motherboard for routing/securing cables). I like getting in a position to slide out the drive bays to operate on them, and installing an optical drive was a breeze. This is a high quality situation that has a lot more than sufficient room for most builders. Docked an egg for a terrible manual (go on Antec's web page and get the .pdf manual for the 900 situation, the manual for the 900 two v3 especially isn't up however) and also the fact that my two intake fans appear to be DOA, despite the fact that the blue LEDs operate. This is nevertheless not a deal breaker for me even so- the intake fans are somewhat trivial compared to the two exhaust fans, which work flawlessly. It would be great if the intakes worked, but honestly it does tiny to sway my opinion on the situation. The top mounted exhaust fan looks/works fantastic, but make sure nothing falls into it.

Where to start? Cable management, good drive cages, a removable correct side so you can route cables under the motherboard, bottom-mounted PSU, and even a 3.five" matte mesh for 3.five" memory card readers. This situation tends to make constructing a personal computer a lot more entertaining than it already is, and that's saying something. It weighs a ton. It lacks directions -- have fun figuring out the drive cages. When you do, it makes sense, but I would have appreciated a guide. And the USB 3. port is just an extension cable, they count on you to run the cable out the back and plug it in in the back, which would appear tacky, and if you don't have USB 3., well, your best bet is to just bring a USB 2. port to the front, at which point the port becomes mislabeled. Minor squabble though. Also, it would be good if the side doors would keep up there with no the thumbscrews in place. This is a large case, and you just cannot appreciate how huge the fan on best is till you see it in person. It's the size of a medium-sized dinner plate. It's larger than my outstretched hand, and I'm a massive guy. Also, there is a debate as to how loud this situation is. I am running it with all the fans turned up all the way (there is a manage in the back) and I can hear it, but it's far from becoming "as loud as a jet taking off". It's not whisper quiet... nicely... actually, it's about as loud as a child whispering. If you have a movie on, or some music, or you're playing a game, you shouldn't notice it. Any individual who says unique has better ears than I do, or their fan desires to be oiled or a thing. It could be quieter, positive, but it could also be warmer inside your case, and you don't want that.

Looks amazing, keeps it cool with 4 massive fans. The two front fans can be adjusted on the front of the case.I really like the positioning of the the power button, usb, and headphones connectors on this case. Side panel is mainly clear so you can see inside, very good for troubleshooting if your mobo has indicator lights like mine does. I appreciate the bottom position for the psu. The situation is huge, but not too big, and fits my FRIO cpu cooler fine. Extremely good setup for installing your tricky drives, the bays can be removed or rearranged and use thumbscrews about everywhere except for installing the blu-ray/dvd drives. The usb 3 front input is only a usb three cord that runs out the back of your case and plugs into your motherboard if it has usb three. Not actually a con, it still functions but it does just move the plug for your usb three from the back to the front.

Wonderful ATX Mid-Tower! Goes ideal with the Rasa 240 Water cooling kit for 1155 Sandy Bridge setup. Its got two holes in the back to route the hoses by way of to the radiatior and the radiator mounts nicely on the upper back of the case due to the fact the powersupply mounts on the bottom.Quite great ventalation an it has sufficient space for far far more then I'll be in a position to use. Fantastic case for those who have no idea what there constructing and need to have to start off somewhere. Great Packaging. Properly the screws it came with don't appear to screw into the pegs the motherboard sit on. Some screw in tightly other people spin and don't tighten down like there stripped even even though theres threading on each the screw and the peg. Not too a lot of a large deal as I only really need to have a few to hold the board down tightly just disappointing is all.

This is the best case I've ever owned. Wonderful for gamers, keeps my stuff actually cool and it even looks good, really sturdy, great top quality, have to have for all who like mid-towers. NONE

This case met each of my requirement. 1. Good airflow ࿆C case temp at load)two. Area for big GPU card (installed GIGABYTE GV-N560OC-1GI GeForce GTX 560 Ti)Sturdy (black!) metal case. Good stock fans. No concerns with front facing ports (haven't tried USB 3. port but however). Fans are nice and quiet (at low/mid speed) and are adjustable. Very pleased with this case. Does what it says it will do. None. Not screw-much less. Also, the expansion bays are inward facing exactly where other new cases are (panel) side facing for uncomplicated removal/cable management. Fans are quiet (note not silent) but this is not an concern for me.Absolutely nothing to shed an egg more than - these issues are consumer's responsibilities to notice in the particulars (and they are clearly apparent).

Cable management is nice... along with the air filters... when you do the drives although put in only 2 screws on each and every side for easy cleaning next time... the usb 3. front adapter is stupid it makes you run it all the way to the back... and the audio cable was not long adequate! so get an 11 inch extenstion just to be secure...... its silly you can not shut off all the lights only the leading one particular... all in all this is a wonderful case i paid 150 for it at greatest invest in... so its a steal on here!!!

The Nine Hundred Two is a rock solid case. If you're searching for lots of space, a solid construction, and a lot of airflow, this case won't let you down. Only two front panel USB ports; not a large deal for me but some may well contemplate that a con. Manual leaves a lot to be desired. It's not the prettiest case; generally just a black brick with mesh-wire front and that behemoth fan on leading. My case came with a broken "Antec" badge, but all I had to do was send them an e-mail through their web page and they mailed me a new one particular, no questions asked. Client service that good isn't straightforward to find in this market.

The fan speed is adjustable on all the fans. This is a extremely quite case. Installed a GeForce GTX 560 Ti with a lot of room.Every little thing fit as it really should, I did not have to "tweak" something. The front USB three. is cabled to go through a slot in the back of the case to plug into the rear USB 3. of the motherboard.there is a socket on the MB for the USB 3.. It looks stupid getting a cable coming out of the back of the case. Why didn't Antec make it to plug into the MB socket?

Im new to Pc creating but in my opinion this case is high good quality. Like the blue LED fans. Also this thing gets tons of airflow if you do cable managment proper. If you want a mid tower case then acquire this 1 you wont be disapointed. I bought this similar case at another store (cant name it i guess) for 80$ (kinda slamming newegg for that one particular). Mabye prime fan could be a little quicker but hey its nevertheless pretty excellent.

This case is great, does what I need to have it to do, and the ventilation is great....it under no circumstances even feels remotely warm. None I thought it may be a bit TOO huge at very first, but now, I'm managing to locate stuff to fill it with.

-Big case fits my mobo perfectly-amazingly sturdy case-fan contoller and all the fans function great-really like the washable built in fan filters- LED's are not over powering either. -pretty much none just took off an egg for the lack of air to my bottom mounted fan PSU but it hasent stoped working to heat so thats cool-cable management was ok i think for this size of case it could be significantly far better planned out. -This is my first personal very good case , upgreading from a power up case that was garbage.-Adore how sturdy every little thing feels and u can tell it was built really nicely.-My temperatures are so much lower now and the look is fantastic on my desk.- Although NewEgg is normally genuinely wonderful Very best Purchase does have this case for ๖ and thats a fantastic acquire for how substantially case u get.

Solid case. Keeps parts cool. Plenty of air flow. Simple to put parts in. Like the best, front controls and USB ports. I did not really care that much, but if you are into the esthetics and cable management, you could want to look at cable extensions to get the cables about the back. Reasonably quiet. Necessary a cable (supplied) to attach the front USB 3 to the USB in the back. Best I can say is that this is seriously "dorky" (as my wife puts it) - minus the egg. Wish there was a far better way to get the fan filters except to take each sides off and unscrew the cages. Used an ANTEC 1200 on a previous method and it worked good, so I thought I would attempt ANTEC again. The V3 puts out a lot of air. It sits next to me under a desk and it can get chilly.Ordered two identical sets of parts to construct the systems. This would function out good in case a portion was negative I could verify it by replacing it with the second. Each systems went together with out a hitch and had no problems. Parts shipped and arrived quickly.

a lot of major fans, pretty quiet 1 of the front fan start out to producing weird sound. it guess it's broken and I have to unplug it. Don't know exactly where to get a replacment

Incredibly clean looking! Blue LED's match my keyboard, mouse, and speakers. (Razer) This case has incredibly fantastic air flow! I went from 70C at with my cards fan speed at 100%, to 58-62C with fan speed at 40%. That is with full load! I run all case fans on medium which is really quiet, low is so quiet it sounds like they aren't working. Some of the screws did not fit precisely, nothing a little torque didn't fix. I saved a couple bucks purchasing from very best get. 119.99 at Finest Buy with no shipping expenses. Not adequate to take any eggs off. Newegg is great though ɛ!Doesn't come with side fan, or internal GPU fan. If you are seeking for a case with good air flow, particularly quiet even on high settings, good Antec stock fans, and sufficient space to upgrade to just about anything. Acquire this case!

Almost Everything Don't like mounting my Power Supply Upside down. I originally purchased the Thermaltake V9 case and I have never ever been additional disappointed in my life. I took it back to the store I purchased it from and was prepared to bite the bullet and wait the 3 days it would take for NewEgg to deliver. Low and behold they had this case, and I had read rave reviews of the Antec 900. I enjoy the way the air flows in this case, I like the really feel of the material on the outside and I'm definitely liking that mesh appear these days as properly as the pretty lights, even though I wish they had been red. Antec has lived up to its name for quite a few years, and it doesn't look like they're stopping anytime soon.

-High excellent materials, feels sturdy and rock solid all about-All four included fans have speed control-Incredibly quiet with all fans on Med/Low-Noise level with all fans maxed is low enough you won't notice it as soon as been in the room for a though-Cable Management is wonderful. All my cables are routed behind the motherboard and can't be noticed. Reusable cable ties are included behind the back cover along with a lot of cutouts to make routing easy.-Air flow is fantastic as well. My Radeon 6850 went from max load temps of 65C to only 48C after an hour of gaming-Hard Drive bays are quickly removable and pull out the front of the case to permit for swapping out drives-Interior is entirely black to match the outside. Difficult to understate how much better this make the case appear than cheap cases with black outside and exposed grey metal on the inside. -Power/Reset button wires are a bit brief. They reached the terminals at the bottom middle of my MB but I couldn't route them 100% behind the motherboard like I wanted. The USB and Audio cables do not suffer this difficulty and are a lot lengthy.-The USB three. cable has to go out the back of the case and plug into the back of your MB. I wish they would have just run the cable to the back inside a channel or something so I didn't have to fiddle with how to get it outside the case and not be in the way.-Instruction manual is worthless, took me a bit to recognize the two difficult drive bays slide out the front of the case. Each bay can residence 3 drives and consists of one of the front fans on it so you have to unplug the fan first to slide it out.-The best and rear exhaust fan cables are a bit brief and I had to run a four pin molex cable behind the MB to plug them in. Also would have been nice to have a wire channel in the leading rear to make it effortless to keep the fan wires away from the huge top fan. Simply the ideal case I have ever worked with. I've applied several cases for client builds and recently started fell in love with the Antec 300. Decided to lastly treat myself to a case/PSU upgrade and bought the Nine Hundred Two V3 because I liked the 300s so much. Glad I did!The airflow rocks and it is incredibly uncomplicated to work with and do great cable management. I couple this case with a Seasonic X750 Modular energy supply and couldn't be happier. All the pros far out way the cons. Plus the all black interior and subtly lighted fans just appear sharp.

Amazing looking case. Adjustable fan speed is a plus. Interior HDD housing is awesome. Plenty of extra options for extra fans. Side window is durable and flashy searching. Of course the blue LED accent lighting is awesome searching. My main concern about this case is the bottom mount style for the PSU. The case provides you a good quantity of space among the PSU and the mobo but there is no exhaust opening at the bottom of the case for PSU's with bottom axhaust/intake fans. The energy/led case wires were to short for me to run behind the case, had to drop directly down to the pins. The usb and hd audio case wires were BARELY long adequate to run behind the case to the correct ports. Micro ATX mobo's should not run into this problem. Mobo stand offs went iun kinda rough, had to torque them into spot. I have a Coolermaster v8 cpu cooler (one of the bigger coolers out there) and it rubs up against the case panel. Excellent case for a mid-level gaming rig. I would recommend spending the additional cash for the coolermaster HAF case, but if your looking for a mid-ATX case definetly check this 1 out!

Nicely built strong sturdy case. Like the way Antec designed the cable management characteristics wish they had this style in mind with their older cases. Like the black interior color blends effectively with internal parts. No Cons to report Installed a solid state drive using the supplied 3.5" adapter that came with it two front holes did not line requires drilling, but two rear screws installed and secured drive. Not a main impact just supplying this for info. Different SSD adapter depending on business.

Great finish and clean lines, this case is a keeper, now to toss the stock 3 speed LED fans.
