Hey everyone, I am looking to do some small mods on my antec 900 case. First off, the wires are everywhere. I can barely close the door to the case. I need to set up some type of wire management as it is inhibiting my modding/airflow. What should I get to help clean up some of these wires? Is this kit good:

Can I fix the wire management up with a couple kits or do I need to start drilling holes?
Also, I lost the stuff to mount a 120mm fan on the side of the case. Where can I buy the mount? Is this a good 120mm fan:

Thanks guys!

I have the stuff to mount it that I can sell you really cheap because I have a TRUE and a side fan won't fit

pm me

Search around the forums. There are a TON of threads and a few guides on modding the 900 for cable managment. You'd want to make some holes on the back panel and route wires behind the mobo tray/panel.

the side fan is built into side pane did you take plexi off and loose it,and drilling is the way to go,each mb has a diff. lay out so just mark where tou need holes i recommend a hole saw,psu hole at 2 inches and rest 1 1/4 and use c-channel to go around them,i you have more ?s pm me

Thanks for the help so far guys... phillipjos... I thought there was an extra mount that isn't attached to the plexi glass that you have to install if you want to ad a fan. Maybe I'm wrong. What do you guys think of the wire management kit? Are there any better ones? I will search around for some guides to cutting holes, but really that would be my last resort.

I would get a drill and a dremel and start hacking away. It takes a little time, but you can clean it up nicely. I highly recommend the PSU and hdd flip as well.

Notice how my PSU fan is facing down? You need to cut a 120mm hole in the bottom of the case to allow air to circulate, but that does 2 things: 1) keeps hot air out of the case and, 2) puts the main wiring harness closer to the mobo tray. This allows for better cable management as you don't need to run them across the bottom and it also adds a bit of length to the cables.

I would look here:http://www.overclock.net/case-mods-g...pictorial.html

CD has done a lot with the A900. I did all mine with a dremel and a drill with a 1 1/4" hole saw.

If I don't cut holes, what should I get to help clean it up a little?

zip ties. lots and lots of zip ties. you could also cut off some connectors that you know you dont need and insulate the ends.
