Antec 900 and 902

[abellack1]

Anyone able to tell me what the major difference is between the antec 900 and 902?

From what I remember, the 902 has a black painted interior (900's was just steel), some additional cuts for cable-management, an external fan controller, and the rear fan is now an LED fan.
Basically just some additional convenience features.

And the 902 included some washable filters to prevent dust build up as well.

Apart from the obvious.
Fan Filters
Fan Adjustment Knobs/Switch integrated on the case
Top Fan w/LED
Black Interior
Holes for Cable Management
Deeper Cavity Clearance - Back of Motherboard Tray
ESATA connector on Top Panel
Metal 2.5" Adaptor

Better cable management is the most stated.

I think you can turn off the leds also.

If you're looking to buy the 900 or 902 i'd say get the 900.... the 902 is not worth 60$ more... and if you were gonna spend that much i'd say get the 1200.

The 902 also has 8 PCI slots if you are into threeway SLI. Both Antec 900, 902 cases aren't as well designed or nice as the new Storm Scout, and that one is $110.

I agree with this.

Can someone confirm this for me - for the 902? I'm interested in this case but I'm not all that into blue LED's. My main concern is the ability to turn off the 200mm LED.

Thanks.

According to adaman's review here (click customer reviews and bottom one) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129058 he states the ability to turn off the top led. And the top led being 1 x 200mm blue LED exhaust top fan, but you knew the top already.

"Other Thoughts: came from an old shuttle X case with three 80mm fans that had to be on high to make keep my amd athlon moblie at 49C on idle.(so freaking loud) this case is totally silent compared to that one. on low this thing helps my i7 idle at 36C. wish you could turn off all the lights instead of just the top one. but if they get annoying enough i will just replace the fans"

Hope this helps
