Antec 900's Rule!

Yeah this is a great case without a doubt BUT i do find you have to keep cleaning all the dust out of the CPU radiator every few month with is a ball ache and not good for the CPU if it gets too clogged up
also the leads for the power switch and USB isn't long enough meaning i don't have fire wire... but who uses that anyway
all in all a great case with mountains of space
just take a look at my specs
and yes my graphics and power unit aint small

p.s the pic's are showing my old PSU and 8800GTX
i now have a 9800GX2 and a Thermaltake W0133RB 1200W PSU which a much bigger

you guys have the Antec 900 revision A or B. the B series came out this year, and it has Cable Management instead of just a metal part for the Motherboard, and it also has Filters for the Fans.. otherwise that case is a dustbucket sucking in dust by the day. you need to get Air cans and spray it out monthly. I do it anyways with my case. but 3 of my fans have filters. :)

I like my Antec 900. As everyone said spacious, good cooling, easy to work on and a big bang for the buck....

I also love my Antec 900 case, enough room to put my 2 GTX260 cards in :) used to use a thermaltake shark case which was nice but even tho it had 9 fans in it the cooling of it wasn't even close to the Antec 900 which dropped the temps of my CPU by 10 Deg C with only 4 fans thats an awsome drop :)

Nice wireless card. I have the same. Best one I've ever used.

And also, more of a Coolermaster man myself.

The font of my case gets the vacume cleaner treatment everytime we do the front room. This tends to help cut down on the dust inside. I have fitted the side fan which also helps as it sucks the dust out where it was settling.

Are you vacuuming on carpet? Vacuum cleaners can create static.

The 900 is nice but the newer 1200 is really sweat.

Meh, I really dislike the Antec 900 case because EVERYONE has it, it makes up for 50-60% of the cases at the LAN parties I attend. I like some originality in my PC so I had to give up using that case...
