Antec 900?

[ThefT]

Why exactly is this case so popular?

Dont you need ridiculous amounts of wiring to ensure it will work?

Also, why is the PSU on the bottom, doesn't heat rise?

Or is this one of the reverse mobo trays?

How is the cooling?

Is there enough space for an 8800?

Thanks, if anyone has this, please post why this case is as great as everyone says it is, thanks!

looks nice roomy inside if you cable it well,

not really, modular PSU's will work better,

Also, why is the PSU on the bottom, doesn't heat rise?

better place for it,

Or is this one of the reverse mobo trays?

mobo tray same as normal,

How is the cooling?

4 case fans, 2 infront of the HDD bays, 1 at the back and a big 200mm ontop there is an optional fan placing on the side it will catch the heatflow from the PSU,

Is there enough space for an 8800?

yes,

Thanks, if anyone has this, please post why this case is as great as everyone says it is, thanks!

keeps things nice and cool,, only con is its a dust collector if you've got it on the floor but a few filters for the front fans will sort that

few case mods for the 900 to improve the cabling :)

What do you think of this case?

The reason behind this is, I am fairly new to building pc's and it is always a plus to have a lot of room to work with =D.

Re: Antec 900?

not my cup of tea, im not convinced by the 2x250mm fans giving adaquate cooling.

others who have either got the case or just reviewing it http://forums.anandtech.com/messagev...VIEWTMP=Linear

Because not only does it look awesome, it provides probably the best cooling available on the market. Plus, it's only £60!!!

As it is only a mid sized tower with a window, the less cabling the better. The only wires that come with the case are for the fans and the front audio panel

Also, why is the PSU on the bottom, doesn't heat rise?

Firstly, because is has a massive 200mm fan at the top. Secondly because some people belive holding a PSU at the top of the case is a recipe for disaster. Thirdly, because heat rises, your PSU would be tasked with expelling a lot of it, which isn't great.

Or is this one of the reverse mobo trays?

Mobo tray is standard, although un-removable. It doesn't support E-ATX however.

How is the cooling?

Amazing, one of the best cases on the market. However, you may need to buy different fans if you can't stomach the noise

Is there enough space for an 8800?

I'm running one

As for that Clio case, i have heard from professional reviewers that the fans create more problems than they fix. The create dead spots in the case and there is generally no flow through the case (which is bad )
