A little tight...an inch of length would do wonders
Cable management might be tough for some users
Motherboard tray not removable
No dust filters for the fans
No drive rails this would have been a nice addition

No drive rails
No motherboard tray
Expansion bays arent screwless
Very little noise dampening amenities such as rubberized washers for screws
Not really a place to grab to pick it up
Must remove the left side panel to remove drive cages
The lack of a pull out motherboard tray is out weighed by all the other features that come with this case.
Speed control switches are impossible to use unless side door is removed
Drive cage thumbscrews will not unscrew easily at first without a screwdriver
The 120mm fan mounted at back of drive cage is practically unusable unless your motherboard has a fla...

The Antec Nine Hundred case is a breeze to build and steps up to the plate in keeping your system cool and stable. As the temp and build shows, this case is light-years ahead of where we were just a few short years ago. There is also plenty of room i...

The Antec Nine Hundred case certainly has the wow factor on first glance, the black steel, mesh coverings and vast array of air cooling solutions certainly looks appealing. Upon further inspection you notice a few minor glitches, that if put right coul...
The Antec Nine Hundred retails for about $85. This is an excellent price for an excellent case. Antec is a well known computer hardware manufacture and this case certainly extends the brand. Pair this with an Antec power supply and your build is in goo...
Abstract: Video Review: If you're in the market for a new chassis, I would strongly recommend checking out the Antec Nine Hundred Case. It has most of the ingredients you should look for when purchasing a case. There are lots of fans and one massive 200mm fan at the top of the case, which provide excellent air circulation inside the case. There are many drive bays and modular HDD cages, which can be configured for your particular drive setup. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.
Abstract: The front panel of the Nine Hundred is perforated to provide exceptional air intake ability. There are nine full size drive bays available for our hard drives, optical drives, or whatever else we decide to use in our configuration. This should provide amp...
Abstract: Antec’s latest chassis follows the new trend of placing the power supply (not included) at the bottom of the case. Built into the top of the case is a massive 200mm Tricool fan (the largest we have seen in a case), while three 120mm Tricool fans wit...

Abstract: My thoughts on the Case Nine Hundred is that I am disappointed by this offering from Antec. I had looked forward to this enclosure, and I have used many Antec cases and have always liked them. In fact I have built several systems into P-180s as well a...
The Antec Nine Hundred is one of the best cases weve looked at in quite some time. The stock cooling was very good, and the case is capable of performing even better if you dont mind the added noise. The build quality was excellent for the price poi...
