Antec 900 thoughts

Maybe it's something about your case pressure. A negative pressure will attract more dust to your computer. I'm not sure if you have the foam things behind the unused 5.25" drive bays.
If you do, removing them will allow air to come through instead of forcing it in all the little cracks and spaces of your case. It should reduce the amount of dust that would be sucked in your case. Take into consideration though that it might affect slightly your temperatures (in a "bad" way). Nothing very drastic though (half a celsius maybe?)

I clean my 900 every three to 4 months, which not so surprisingly also gives me a good reason to upgrade. :P

Thanks guys! Maybe after another revision or two they can get this thing perfect, because it really is frighteningly close already. I'll mess around with the HD cage placement and see what works best.

oldman_gamer, I don't know if that extension is something that could be found locally as it's kind of specialized. I ordered this one from newegg along with the case. And even being an 8" extension it was still barely long enough to route the cable around the motherboard.

As far as dust, my armor was pretty bad, even with filters, so I'm not too worried, although I probably will end up putting some mesh filters in there.

Wait to you see the Antec Twelve Hundred. We caught a glimpse at CES and walked away very impressed.

This could lead to him getting banned. ;P

Drew can't be banned he's the problem child of HL and a work in progress.

Any Antec fanboy can be banned. :P

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, since I managed to run my cpu power cord under the mobo without any extensions, lol. I love this case... but it seems like everyone has one now, lol!

With this board I had to do that. It's REALLY a stretch but I didn't have any 8pin 12V extension under the hand. Silly me, I never looked carefully at the 8pin connector, I was sure it was 2x 4pins side by side but it's not. :/
I would feel better with an extension though, lol.

Hehe, I've always really liked their power supplies, and so far it seems like their cases are on par. I'm looking forward to later this week working in the Sonata III my friend ordered.
