Antec 900 Q's

[scarywoody]

I've decided to pull the trigger and check this case out for my new system.

I was curious if anyone had this case has noticed any improvements filling up the sidepanel and internal 120mm fan slots.

Also the floor will be at ground level and I am worried about dust issues. Would these filters work or can anyone recommenc other filters?

Got a couple of these Nine Hundreds at work. It's a really cool looking case but it has its flaws.

Installing a BFG 6800 Ultra in this case or any other that uses DVI adapters will have ISSUES. What I mean by this is you cannot plug the DVI adapters into the video card because the adapter(s) hit the roof of the expansion slot. You actually have to shave the top of the DVI adapters off in order to get them to plug into your video card. What in the hell is that all about? This is the same issue with the ol' Raidmax Scorpio cases.

Second the damn floppy adapter... lol try to figure that out after a bit. That was a pain in the ass.

Antec needs to make a new revision.

Other then thoes issues, its a great case.

Antec acknowledged the problem with the video card, and said they will release a new revision. When they do, I don't know, maybe soon, maybe never.

The Nine-hundred whole front is meshed, dust will get in, but the filter will definitly help. However, the front intake I don't think has filters, and that's probably going to be the most important thing since one of the front fans are on the lowest level.

roger that. I did some research and read about the dvi issue. I guess the options are to dremel it to fit or or just get a mobo with 2 pci-e slots and use the bottom one. That's not a show stopper. I'm much more worried about the dust...mybe I can fab up a complete front dust cover. Guess we'll see when it gets here. thx

Eh, keep it off the ground, or you might want to elevate it, put some books or a small wooden stand so it's not sitting right on your carpet... shrug
