Customizable to Fit Your Needs
With eight expansion slots to support multiple graphics cards (including the NVIDIA 3-way SLI) and nine customizable drive bays, the Antec Nine Hundred Two Gaming Case provides extensive options for personalizing your computer or gaming system. Although the case arrives with three external 5.25-inch bays, six internal 3.5-inch bays, and one internal bottom-mounted 2.5-inch SSD bay, Antec designed removable disk-drive cages so you have the option of increasing the number of external 5.25-inch bays. You can also use the included 5.25-to-3.5-inch adapter to create various other configurations.Top-Mounted I/O ports for Easy Access
Situated at the top of the front panel are access ports for headphones, microphone, two USB 2.0 ports, one eSATA port, and the power-and-reset button, so you can quickly and easily plug in to your system.Optimal Cooling Right Out of the Box
Designed as "The Ultimate Gaming Case," the Nine Hundred Two includes one 200-millimeter top fan, one 120-millimeter rear fan, and two 120-millimeter intake fans on the front of each of the disk-drive cages. Each fan can be individually adjusted with an external control, which can be set at low, medium, or high speed. The front panel is perforated for maximum air intake, and washable air filters reduce dust buildup in your system, helping to keep your equipment cool, dust-free, and reliable. For added convenience, a CPU cut-out allows for easy installation of CPU coolers. Additionally, all fans glow cool blue when turned on, and the top fan features an on/off switch so you can turn off the top fan LED.Optional Fan Mounts Increase Air Flow
The Nine Hundred Two is designed to quickly and easily accommodate two optional 120-millimeter intake fans to help cool the graphics card, CPU, or power supply, depending on your configuration. The side fan bracket includes a washable air filter, and the middle fan option is ideal for cooling dual graphics-card implementations. The gaming case also features a preinstalled metal plate, which allows for the mounting of an external water cooling system.Cable Compartment Provides a Clean Look and Better Cooling
Cables can be neatly tucked inside the built-in cable compartment, so you can keep your system organized and the airflow unobstructed. Routing cables is easy and efficient with the provided cable ties that are attached to the compartment wall.Technical Details

Customer Reviews
Spacious, GREAT looking, AMAZING COOLING
==============================
Pros ====================================
1. Very big and
spacious. Plenty of room to work with.
2. Rolled edges. Didn't
nick myself once while putting my build together.
3. It includes
all the necessary screws, came with 6 studs already firmly installed and
3 more in the screw bag.
4. Includes the 5.25-to-3.5 adapter for
your floppy or card reader etc.
5. Includes 4, yes 4 Blue LED
TriCool fans that are VERY quiet but highly efficient. 3x120mm and 1
200mm at the top. An extra (optional) 120mm fan mount is included in the
side window as well.
6. Speed control for ALL the fans on the
outside of the case is a VERY, VERY nice touch. I keep all my fans on
low and temperature on my system is about 35C.
Also, the Big Boy
fan's LED can be turned off from the outside of the case as well.
7.
Removable air filters for all intake fans. Another nice touch.
8.
Removable HDD cages *** NOTE***
9. Black interior is SEXXXAYYY!
10.
Plenty of space behind the motherboard tray for cable management and
good location of cable routing holes.
=============================
Cons ======================================
1. ***NOTE *** The
ONE complaint I have is the fact that you HAVE to remove both side
panels to access the Hard Drive cages. This is the only thing I can
think of that can be improved on this case.
In order to clean the
two front fan's dust filters I will need to always undo both sides,
take out ALL screws, and THEN I get to pull out the cage and remove the
dust filter for cleaning.
I guess it's not that big a deal to
some people but I plan on keeping my case as clean as possible so will
probably have to go through that process every 2-3 months depending on
dust build up.
Also, another way to get around that is to only
secure the drive cages with the screws on the side with the window. That
way all you'd have to do is undo those 8 screws and be able to pull out
the drive cages.
============================ Other
Thoughts =============================
Other than the PIA that is
gaining access to the dust filters, this thing is 100% SUPERB!
I
forgot to mention up there that the side window on this one is big
enough to show off all your hardware but also covers the screws that
secure the HDD cages. Nice.
This was my very first build ever and
it was very easy and was a smooth process mainly due to this case being
so accessible.
Originally I was going to get the Antec 300. But I
saved up the extra money and got this one instead. Do not regret it at
all. This case should last me for many builds to come.
If you're
looking for a midtower case I highly recommend this one if you can
afford it. Very sturdy construction, great cooling and amazing looks.
All-in-One.
F.S.
Great case for
home builds
This case is great - I would
rate it 4.5 if Amazon let me as it is almost perfect for me. Big, roomy
with good ventilation and the steel keeps things pretty cool. Fans are
pretty quiet given that there are many and the location of them.
I
would have liked that the fan cables would have been better protected or
have additional some cable management options specifically for them.
Speaking of cable management, it is generally done very well in this
case (apart from some of the fans) and I had no problems routing my
component cables. The power supply is located at the bottom in the case -
my OCZ StealthXStream fit without issue and its power cables were long
enough (other have complained they needed extenders). The holes for
cable management can be a little sharp and you have to careful not to
nick your cables when feeding them through.
One concern is that
motherboard mounting is quite high (for x3 GPU support) and very close
to the top fan. It is very easy to have something touch the top fan (the
blades are very sharp!). I had no problem with my MB (Gigabyte
GA-MA790GP-DS4H + AMD Phenom II 3.0GHz + Zalman 9700).
The blue LEDs
are nice and will add an eerie glow to any room at night. :-)
The
case is not ideal for LAN gaming parties as it very heavy before you
add anything like GPUs and big cooling blocks of copper! You might have
to borrow a shopping cart to lug it around ;-)
Cool Down
I just built my first i7 rig
and the Dell xps 630i case I was using had virtually zero airflow. My
temperatures were off the charts, mainly the VREG Idoling at around 70c.
in the 80's under load, and that is not even overclocked. I saw this
case and read a bunch of great reviews so I thought I would give it a
try, I was not dissapointed. This case dropped my Voltage regulater temp
from 70c at idle to 43c and also dropped that all important cpu temp
down as well. Now of course I can overclock right?
I overclocked the
Core i7 960 Bloomfield from it's stock 3.2Mhz to a nice and stable
4.09Mhz and the temps on the VREG now are 52c idol and 65c. under full
load running 100% bench marking with Prime95, and your cpu will never
run at that percentage with most programs. In short this is a great case
for maximum airflow and all of your temps will go way down if that's
what your looking for. I could not have run my i7 rig at those temps
without this case much less overclock. Oh it dropped my video card temp
down 5 degrees also. If you don't want to go thru the hassle of buiding a
water cooled rig and want to overclock a little this is the case for
you.
