I'm thinking about getting the nine hundred... I've read nothing but great reviews, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any other cases. I've pretty much gone over every case that newegg.com has to offer. But, there's always possibility of something better!

I'm looking for massive air cooling capabilities, around the same price... Can anyone recommend a better selection, or should I stick with my choice?

(Inside will be:
EVGA 122-CK-NF67-T1 mobo
e6600 C2Duo
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi
4 GB Corsair XMS DDR2 (PC2 6400)
BFG GeForce 8800GTX OC'd (Will be adding another to SLI soon... maybe even triple SLI if I replace my mobo w/the newest 132-CK-NF78-A1 model)
Seasonic M12 700w w/quad 12+V rail's)
 
I've had mine for half a year or so, and my only complaints are dust and cable management. I haven't found a great way to hide cables without cutting holes in the case, and the dust builds up pretty quick.

Everything else about the case is fantastic though -- airflow, tons of room, appearance etc.
 
That's pretty much what i've read everywhere else too, about the cable management. I plan to have lots of zip ties, and ziptie mounts. So hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.

My Seasonic m12 powersupply is 100% modular, so it may even look kinda cool.


Keep 'em coming though! If anyone has a better on, leme know!
 
i second dust and cable managment. i used the fan mount on the back part of the top HDD cage and that makes for a tight squeeze for the power connector on my 8800gt. other than that its great. really quiet and my temps are awesome.
 
I have had mine for about a month and really like it...

the Fans produce alot of airflow and they really are fairly quiet. They also feature 3speeds, unfortunately you have to get inside the case to adjust them. But the blow-hole fan on top is so huge and @medium you cant even really hear it.

Really a good deal on newegg if they still have the big MIR.
 
Gotta make sure you are an active computer cleaner, because this case with so many fans will build up dust in a matter of a week depending on your location.

It's got fantastic airflow and will definitely keep your cpu/memory/videoc card/motherboard very cool. Cable management is a problem, like mentioned, also definitely do not like the side panel clear plexi design, wish they would have offered a more basic side panel.
 
Well... I prefer the clear side panels. If I'm buying a case, I want something I can show off to my friends. The case is only first glimpse, the inside is what really matters.

I'm coming from the XCLIO A380BK. The only problem with it, I had to trim away some plastic from the side fan for my Scythe infinty 1000 CPU cooler to fit. Unfortunately, after a time, the side fan started rubbing against the outer plastic and it makes a scrapeing noise. So, my internal components almost overheated, and here I am. I'm also on the market looking for a new CPU cooler, one that's hopefully not so large (The scythe is almost 6inches tall!). But, that's for the Overclocking/Cooling section!

Current Case :(

It has two huge fans, and I have a silverstone 120mm fan on the back (113 cfm). I don't care about the noise, considering I don't plan to leave my computer running 24/7. If I'm using my computer, I've got my headphones on listening to music or the game I'm playing. I'm probably going to replace all the Antec's case fans with higher CFM fans, anyways. (Scythe 133 cfm, or more silverstone 113 cfm 120mm's)
