this is my mod of an antec 900
i just got a great deal on an antec 900 on clearance at best buy for
$67.45
it is a step up from my antec 300 but now i need to mod it
compared to antec 300:

my mods will include cable management and red paint
color scheme will be red and black with blue fans and probably red cold cathodes
any other suggestions?

I'd suggest making a full window mod, a false floor, change the LEDs on the fans (blue and red don't go well together) and stealth your optical drive.

A side fan doesn't help temps much, if at all, anyway.

Subbed, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Edit: Also, cut a hole out in the bottom of your case for the power supply's fan to breathe through, stops it messing with your airflow and brings the cables closer to the motherboard tray for better cable management.

what is a false floor?
i will stealth my odd for sure
a window mod is a possibility too
i have leftover acrylic from my antec 300 mod too

A false floor is just what it says; a false floor.



Here's what it'd look like, it seperates the cooling zones for the power supply and the rest of the system, but more importantly, it looks pretty cool, really awesome for hiding cables.

oh i see!
i have some mesh from an old amp that would probably work

spRICE

well i got half way through the holes for cable management and my dremel overheated
now i have to wait for it to cool down which sucks
its a love hate relationship

spRICE

well i got the cable management done and i put everything inside
the cables will be cleaner once i have painted the case

holes cut

everything inside and cables somewhat tucked away
i realized i could just take the fans off the front of the hd cages and screw them in to the case to mount the hard drive i used the external adapter that my case came with

the messy back

side panel on

the front with the dvd drive in the middle

paint will come next maybe on thursday or something
i realized that i dont want to spend money on red fans when i have perfectly good blue fans so now my color scheme is just blue and black
should i paint the inside blue or black?

haha, i recognize that build...

I've made an updated version of the false floor by just putting a 90 degree bend in a piece of sheet metal. Like so:
