"Awesome Case!!" on by Tecmaster
Pros: 200mm Fan and 3 120mm fans does makes a difference!
Cons: Setting up was a pain!
Summary: When I first bought this case, I was in doubt thinking it is just another fancy case that wouldn't keep your system cool. Boy was I wrong!! I had the Thermaltake case which has 8 80mm fans on it and running on a AMD Althon 64 X2. This case (ThermalTake) didn't keep my system cool enough for me to be happy about it, here are the results:
ThermalTake Case: Ide: 42 C Load: 52 C
Antec Nine Hundred Case: Idle: 29 C Load 42 C
As you can see those 200mm and 120mm fans makes a difference compared to those 8 80mm fans! The only thing I have to gripe about it was setting up!! It took me 5 hours to install all my components to this case!! I built custom computer for a living and by far this is the longest one I ever had to spend time on! The power supply is mounted on the bottom vs on top on standard cases. All in all, it is well worth the money since it does
keep your system cool! This is a afforable way to keep your system cool without having to spend too much money on a watercooled system. The most suprising part about the Antec Nine Hundred Gaming case is the it looks so big but yet really light!! Compared to my old Thermaltake case, that monster weights about 30 lbs!! Well I hope this reviews help you on your decision on buying this case or not. -
"Awesome Case!" on by djmaxentropy
Pros: LOTS of space, massive airflow potential, front facing/easy accessible usb and audio jacks, quiet, 3 speed settings for all fans
Cons: side fan not included
Summary: This case is fantastic-- the 3 speed fan settings allow you to control how much air you shoot through the case and also how much noise it makes! I also love the customizable front fans/drivebays in which you can swap out in order to better suit your custom pc configuration. The huge 120mm fan up top really moves air near the CPU. Really wish this came with another small 90mm fan for the side to remove some more air near the graphics card (where my pc tends to get the hottest.)
Overall, great case for the money, I'd definitely buy again but I've had my case for a few years now and it's still going hard! Highly recommended! -
"Great Case" on by ryank82
Pros: Tons of ventilation. Huge top fan. Great looking as well. Top storage bin for mp3 player, wallet etc...
Cons: Can be loud with all fans humming. Dust MAGNET! I have to clean it frequently.
Summary: Overall for the money spent, I think Its a great case. Tons of ventilation and more then enough room for most. Has a top holding spot for your mp3 player, wallet or any small device. Quite a few fans come standard. Blue led's are a nice touch.Only downside I found at all was because of all the fans this case draws lots of dust. I keep it on my desk and still have to clean it like once a week.

"Suprb gaming case--very good cooling!!" on by Starving Artist
Pros: everything runs very cool--looks great--inexpensive.
Cons: case cables a bit short--a bit tight inside.
Summary: I love this case--my CPU--an e6850 is running at 18c to 22c idle, and 34c max at load. I took the load temp running Orthos CPU stress test for an hour or so.I had various tech people saying they wished they could get such low temps. Playing Crysis, My EVGA 9800GTX runs at around 45c-50c with fan at max, which I think is also really good for this card. I installed a fan controller in the case,(highly recommended IMO) and so can turn fans down when I want--with all fans at max it's kind of loud (I added a 120mm to the windowed side panel), but when gaming with headphones I do hear it at all. When I turn them down it is a very acceptable noise level.
Also, this case looks very nice--with some modding down the line it will look awesome.
Cons--A couple of the case cables were kind of short, as they had to stretch over the monster sized 9800GTX--of course this may vary depending on mianboard used--I have an EVGA780i. Also, 9800GTX size cards using the lower two PCI-e slots will interfere with HDD's in the lower HDD cage, at least with my 780i board. SLI will be no problem, but it looks like If I wanted to go Tri-SLI, I would be limited to a max of 2 HDD's.To me this is not an issue, but might be for others.
In summary--really awesome case--very glad I bought this one!! -
"Awesome Cooling Great Looking" on by cattaman
Pros: Huge quiet fans
Cons: Don't like recessed reset button
Summary: Very happy with this case loosk great and keeps system very cool with minimal noise. I love the fact that the power supply is on the bottom yet it is still an ATX case. All systems should be setup like this so as the air heats up it rises from the PSU unit passes over the components and out the top through the massive Fan.. Gotta Love this case!
