Antec 900: Good or Bad?

Simle Questiom

Ive read mixed things about this case, just wondering if any boardsies has this case and what their oppinions are of it

I like it, its big, it looks cool (I dont care if anyone say its looks crap) and has very good cooling capability

But, I find it not big enough and water cooling can be a messy to set up. Also cable management is a bitch

Deliverance XXV

I am using it now and I find it grand.
It's by no means earth shattering but it definitely does the job. Window can be hard to keep clean. I get great temps in the case.

I added a cold cathode and I love the blue gloominess! I also have a Aero Cool Power Watch to show temps (under DVD drive) but I use it for show more so than function.

Cable management + laziness = lazy cable management

The cooling in the case is pretty good as long as you don use multiple hdds to block the front fans. Cable tidying the case is hard work as there is literally no where to hide everything. But when done right it looks awesome. A antec p192 may suit you better. It is less boy racer and more .... um... Well it just looks classy and expensive. And the build quality is impressive. But rip out the standard fans right away as on medum they are loud, and on high they sound like a hoover ! throw in some s-flex fans and your sorted.

Check out the 1200

I like my 900. I have my 2 dvd drives in the middle (so fan at bottom, two dvd's, fan on top feeding air directly to the CPU). Overall, a pretty decent case IMO. The best I've owned so far (which doesn't mean that much).

That 1200's just a bit too big IMO.

I like that 1200, can fit a dual rad at back where 2 120mm fans are OR the version shown has a rad with 200mm fan built in already fitted at the top.......nice

Woo! Thanks guys. I totaly agree with the Lazy Cable Manegment but Ive read a few guides on getting cables behind the Mobo Mounting Plate (specificly for the 900) SO i may do that.

Also *drool* at the 1200 But it may be a bit too big for me
I will be using 2 HDD though.. will this seriously compemise the CPU colling?

I've just found my next case Cheers TonyM

ahaha mother of god look at the size of it.. its tempting but only really I think if you had loads of hard drives and watercooling..

As for the case its a great case bit tight but if you give it a good hour the cables can be immaculate. Great cooling and looks cool!

EDIT:

Am going do this:
