It certainly is a Antec 900. Strangely, I forgot to list that... Edited anyway.

I only wish the hole near the PSU was bigger so I could have fit the lot through it. Could always get the angle grinder at it I suppose. :pac:

That's a monster of a case, as is the Antec 1200. I've built four PCs using these cases, they were all Core i7s.

While my first build in this case fit in quite snugly, the purchase of my Scythe Ninja made things a lot more difficult.
My new motherboard made things almost impossible. I could barely squeeze the fan on the HS and get them all in at the same time.
I had to put the fan on when the MB was seated and that was no easy job.
Oh and did I mention the 8pin power connector is? Have a look at the pic. It's right under the HSF in the top left. That was hassle.

Apologies on the camera phone snaps and the general untidiness of the case...

Old pics, hard drives are reversed and case much cleaner now.

Here's more pics. Did a little photoshoot in the dark and experimenting with long exposures.

Fourth pic down is epic win. That is all.

Just installed this bad boy in me PC, it was a right pain in the hole due to the "crazy cool" plate underneath my gigabyte mother board I had to butcher my case to get it in, there where hacksaws and all sorts involved but it seems it was all worth it. On idle the cpu is at 22-25c which is half what it was and the fan on the cooler isn't even spinning.

I have two new case fans on the way to replace the ones that came with the case, they seem twice as loud now that there's no other noise coming from the pc. Once they're in and it's all tidied up I'll post pics.

Have to say these gigabyte motherboards can take some abuse, I seriously didn't expect the thing to boot.

Your Ram...it runs at over 9000! (sorry had too )

Nice Rigs

Put in the two new fans and tidied up the case. Bit disappointed in the new fans I'm fairly sure they're louder than the old ones. They are running at full speed though (1400rpm) is there any way to slow them down without buying a controller? Their a Akasa and Be quite fans. The old fans even had a rattle in them which is why I replaced them.





And the bodge job on the back of the motherboard tray to hold the cooler in place. Had to remove one of the support struts going across the back.

Deano12345

To slow down the fans you can pick up some 12v to 9.5 fan adapters from Peats.I think you can also get some 12v to 7v adapters I think

http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?view_product=1&id=25934

Nice job on fitting that cooler though

Anti

You could also get out the auld soldering iron and just put in a few resistors onto the fan cable

Messy, but cheap as hell. Loads of guides online too. As for the akasa fans, they state a really low db, but eveyone ive had is always quite loud at full speed. Decreasing their speed to around 1000rpm will significantly cut down the noise of the little feckers.

Solitaire

Don't even talk to me about Akasa fans...

25dB? From where? The far side of a Gaelic pitch?! :mad:

Personally i thought it was only when they were turned off they did 25dB

Cheers for that, shipping is a bit pricey, €14 to ship them across the country? Compared to the price of the little cables and the size of them it's a bit step but prefect for me. Decisions, decisions...???

I know am electrical engineer that could help me too, guess I'll do this and buy a fan controller down the line.

what an overreaction. a quiet room is 30db for christs sake! :pac:
