Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Antec Nine Hundred Steel ATX Ultimate Gamer PC Case (Black)
Customer Review: Cool case- in several ways
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm running a distributed computing program in this case, and the high airflow fan design keeps my Athlon 64X2 6000+ running at 43C at 100% CPU usage. I'd call that a cool case. The sleek black design and blue LEDs don't hurt the coolness, either. I'm running all fans on high speed and can't hear them at all. The case is being assisted in CPU colling by
Gigabyte GH-PCU23-VE 3D Rocket II - Processor cooler - ( Socket 478, Socket 754, Socket 940, Socket 775, Socket 939, Socket AM2 ) - aluminum with copper base
My only minor complaint concerns the ultra-miniature pigtail mounted speed switches for the fans. There are enough flat areas on the case to mount an external fan control panel. As built, you have to shut down and open the case to change fan speeds.
Customer Review: Amazing Cooling with Antec 900
Summary: 5 Stars
pros: I have had absolutely no problems with the Antec 900. My gaming system stays cool. I recommend this case for those who love gaming. Easy installation of motherboard and especially wiring from my Ultra X-connect psu which look great with the lighting from the 120mm fans... : ) Also easy access with thumb screws on side panel. First case I have ever used with the psu on the bottom. If its hot you can't feel it, it's so cool. Try it...you'll like it!
cons: Longer control switches for the fans would make adjusting the speeds easier, have the control on the top like the usb ports. That would be awesome. Probably mean higher price, but its worth it. Would be nice to have a handle on the top, instead of a tray; almost looks like one is there from a distance...Oh yea I like lan parties and they hate to see me coming with this monster... -,-
Customer Review: few installation hiccups, overall great case
Summary: 5 Stars
I just built a Core Duo computer using this case, and I'm very satisfied with the results. The case is beautiful from the outside and somewhat roomy on the inside. The fans are numerous and very quiet.
The largest problem I had was that this case puts the power supply at the bottom of the case. This makes for more room near the top, which is great, but some power cables (notably the 24 pin power connector and 4 pin power connector) were too short. I had to buy extension cables. It was also a little tough to screw in the hard drives into their cages, but with those points in mind, I am very satisfied.
The case glows blue in the front which looks great. The USB ports and power button on the top are great ideas. I'd buy it again, but I'd make sure to buy the extension cables at the same time.
Customer Review: Showcase your Overclocked System!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great case to set up any overclocking system. The top fan acts as a central vent for rising heat, and the numerous fan ports bring in or push out air on all but two faces of the case.
The blue glow of the fan LEDs can help add pizzaz to your custom rig and allows you to do some showing off.
Variable speed fans also allow for noise control if you aren't going to Overclock your system.
Hard drive ports have thumb screw chassis for easy installation. Case sides also have thumb screws.
The front ports for audio, USB, and firewire are in excellent and smart locations.
Overall, I really don't have any complaints for this case...at all! It's sturdy and good to go.
Customer Review: Nice, coooool
Summary: 5 Stars
This case is awesome, cool, the only thing you need is a great power supply with the cables with enought lenght, one thing to consider is that the Power on cables, reset cables and 2 more that I don't remember well don't have the necessary lenght for the X48 Intel Motherboard, but is a little issue, with a little imagination you can handdle it. The position to intall the power supply its at the bottom of the case, not at the top as usually find in other motherboards, take this in consideration. First time every to buy an expensive case, but Im happy about it, I usually did not spent more than $40 for a case, but a good friend of mine told me that if I want to be a gamer I need a good and cool case, with a good power supply also.
