Hot? Antec Nine Hundred Case

[ZappDogg]

Deal is at the Egg.

$59 + $9 for shipping, seems pretty good to me!

Wow...that's tempting. Does Antec handle the rebates directly?

 

[Burrich]

$59 AR is a good sale price. For your basic OC'ing or even a stock case, it's quite nice.

Great price! I love the case although be aware that this thing can be loud if all the fans are turned on high, medium it is still a little loud and when they are all on low they really dont blow any air at all. Its a dust magnet so I would seriously consider buying some filters for all the incoming fans.

I picked one up. This is my second 900 and I just love them. Wide open and easy to work on. I run all the 120's on low and the 200 on med for air flow and it's uber quiet to me.

Yes, they're slow but very reliable.

As for the case, anything less than $70 is a pretty good deal on one for an awesome case. I'm pretty sure there was a sub-$50 deal on this case last week, but that's certainly the lowest I've seen it. $60-70 AR is a good buy price though.

I have gotten all of my $300 worth of my rebates from antec since last fall..

I was 1 day late because my post office was closed from the snow and I never got my rebate 🙁 but that was my fault for not testing out the fans earlier with my spare power supply, but that is a damn good price for a Antec900, it is a huge dust magnet though🙁

man, this is tempting even tho i'm broke.
it's a real hard decision between the P182 at B&M Microcenter for 69.99 AR and this Antec 900 59.99 + 9.99 shipping AR.

I tried twice to get that P182 at MC, but my local store is OOS, so if I want in on that -$35 MIR deal I have to buy it online, which includes ~$17 shipping. I'm thinking about it. This thread has me interested, though. How does the Antec 900 compare with the Antec P182?

Edit: Looking this over at the Egg I think it actually might be better for me than the P182, which is definitely on the large size for me, particularly the 21+" height. I've yet to use a case with over 80mm case fans and am looking to quiet down my PC. This may be the ticket. Thanks OP!

What are the filters and where do you get them?

I assume you have to clean them periodically?

Can you make your own?

Which fans blow in and which blow out?

Filters can be bought pretty much anywhere, just do a search for 120mm fan filter in google or something and you will find tons of options. The fans that blow in are the two in front and the one on the side. the top 200mm blows out as well as the 120mm rear and of course the PS fan.

You still have to clean the filters of course but rather them then trying to clean all the dust out from the inside of your computer.

I was tempted by the Microcenter deal too and was on Newegg for the Abit IP35-E deal when I saw the 900 there for $119 with a $40 rebate and free shipping. This deal saves you $10 more than that even with the shipping. I just received my 900 yesterday .. wonder if I could sweet talk Newegg for a $10 credit 😛

The last time I bought a monitor at Newegg, the price dropped 20 bucks the day I received it. I fired up the chat box at Newegg and asked for a 20 dollar credit to that invoice, and they refunded it no questions asked.

Meh, it still shows up as 9.99 shipping. If Newegg had free shipping I'd buy the 900 even though it's a bit much bling for my taste.
