Default I'm very impressed with the Antec900
Just like to share my temp drops when using the A900 with all fans on medium. My old case was the cooler master centurion 5.

Old CPU idle and load: 45c,65c
New CPU idle and load: 35c,55c

GPU old idle and load: 57c,73c
GPU new idle and load: 48c, 64c

North bridge old idle load: 45c, 50c
North bridge new idle load: 38c, 44c

The list could go on but on average my temps on all components dropped 5-10c. I'm beyond happy that I bought this case

The Nine Hundred is good at cooling, but I'm not overly happy with anything else it has to offer.

It's very nice for cooling even on the low-medium settings. The lack of vibration dampening on the hard drives sucks though and there is absolutely no space in the case. The Antec 1200 seems to have solved quite a few of the Antec 900's problems though, although it is still cramped (they should have made it a bit longer not just taller).

Definitely not a case you want for water cooling unless you stick everything (pump, radiator, etc) outside the case using the rubber grommets.

I recently purchased an Antec Twelve Hundred so hopefully I see some similar results.

Not cramped to me, it was a noticeably bigger than my cmc5. Any body who buys the A900 for water cooling is not the brightest light bulb at walmart.
