Vista - Antec 900's Rule!

OK anyone who has a Antec 900 will know what im talking about, they just rock. You can post your experiences and photos here. So cheap too for £50 ($100). Alot of people have said about noisy fans. Its not so bad with 1 of the fans on the front set on high and the top 200mm one and the other front one of medium.

I see you went with the extra side fan too. That green light on the side looks cool as well. Check out the "Show us your Rig" thread, there are some great set ups pictured there.

That's a pretty sweet looking setup, looks IDENTICAL to mine.

Even to the side fan and the green light? Did I get a ghetto version lol? On mine the side fan was optional and of course there IS no green light.......

Mine doesn't have the green light. I had to buy the side fan with the blue light, tho...

that is my prosseor fan

The antec also has pipe holes if you want to add water cooling.

Yeah same with me, the CPU cooler is a Zalman 9700 NT 110mm.
The side fan was after market, but i decided to add a blue cathode ray tube to spice things up a bit.
I like how it cools, with all fans on medium and the giant one on high it's quiet. Idles at 31 and the cpu stays at 32 degrees C so even when I was looking into water cooling I decided to stay with my current setup because for the money I think the Zalman is awesome.
And yes I do think that the fan seems a little loose, even fully tightened it easily turns so the fan rocks up and down, but it stays flat up against the processor so I don't think it's too much to worry about.
Note: I do have Artic Silver 5, if that makes much of a difference.

Man, my stuff seems to be at 44-47 all the time and my fans are on high pretty much all the time. Am I doing something wrong? For a while I had everything down just under 40, but lately it's what I just said.

This case is kind of like having a tiger tank instead of a porsche lol. Yo Bubba, it might be because your pc is full of s**t aka dust or you may be having a hot spell of weather. I know we are in the UK - (omg unbeleivable) its causing my temps to rise a little.

Those zalman 9700 nt are probably the best all round processor cooler. Its properly manufactured so that all heatpipes work a 100%, there is a large surface area & the fan is 120mm. Plus its solid copper coated in zinc to stop it oxidizing & its light so it wont rip your board apart, i now hang my stock intel one on the wall to warn off tresspassing noob pc builders. My only gripe is that the fsn is green & not blue, but i suppose you can easily tell if the fan stops turning.
