Default My Antec 900 mods

i just thought i would show you all my recent case mods to my antec 900
i got tired of the case and wanted to mess with it and this is what i got


painted interior very sloppy job just wanted what you could see thru window to be black. took fan holder off of door to because i found it unnecessary and like just the mesh there much more.


just a closer view. i added tape to side of my CoolerMaster HyperZ600R so it stopped air from blowing out side (dropped my idle temps about 3c) also like to add. it is 60degrees in my room and my temps are 20c/17c (WOAH VERRY CHILLY)



i took off top 200mm fan and got rid of the entire top and added acrylic and a 120mm. i had to use some superglue to hold down. because i couldnt get to the front screws to add nuts to them. i know it looks TERRIBLE but is super snug


i decided to mount my hdd on back. because it would eliminate alot of wires. it is a verry TIGHT fit when i have door on and had to remove one of the clips that attached door to case for it to fit. i also cut two holes for wire management at the top to let usb and hdd light wires down and by mobo to let the usual wires thru.



sooo tell me what you think about what i did and if you have any comments on what i could improve or what i should change plz feel free to comments. any feed back is AWESOME.

Why'd you mount the HDD behind the motherboard tray?

because its against the hdd bay area it gets plenty of air on it from the two front intake fans so hasnt seemed to be a problem.

Hate to be rude, but I think you have ruined a nice case...
Hats off to you for modding it though, don't have the balls to even let the dremel near mine..

If you're going to gut the case, and cut off the top to add acrylic, at least paint it correctly. Does the side door fit on with the HD there..?

At least the acrylic looks good on the top, minus the area around the fan.
