Conclusive thoughts

After spending more than a month with the Antec Nine Hundred series, installing different systems inside and working with it day by day, it’s clear this case is not as bad as some other reviews might want you to believe. While the case is not perfect, its drawbacks are minor, hard drive installation is time consuming, but you don’t remove hard drive every day. If you want to fit a larger VGA card, you might loose one hard drive spot, not too bad deal, seeing as you got room for 7 hard drives in this mid tower case.

If you shop around a bit this case is already available for prices below $100 which makes it quite a deal. The Nine Hundred lacks tool-less features to reduce cost, but compensates with ample amount of space for an air cooled PC system and comes with no less than high quality 4 case fans preinstalled. The case fans at low fan speed provide an excellent balance between performance and noise and will keep the newest system components running cool.



Its steel construction makes it less then ideal for LAN parties as the empty case already weighs in over 14kg, and without carrying handles it’s not a case you should plan to move around a lot. Once it is installed though it will blend in perfectly, unless you don’t like cool blue LED fans. There are no dust filters to be found on the in-take fans, if you plan to install the case near a dusty area you might want to look into making a few of your own.

At the end of the day you have to ask yourself the question what you want for your PC case, the Nine Hundred offers excellent cooling, enough working space, good expandability and an attractive price for the features offered. Whether it’s the ideal case for you depends on your needs.

I hope this review was useful for our readers; I like to thank Antec for being patient while I was building my Core 2 / 8800 GTX system so I could properly stress test their latest gamer’s case.
