Very nice
Any chance of some pics?
Seen it with grey & black interiors & what’s the case like with front panel off.
Is it the same type of dust filter as the 300 or more like the p180 style?

Would be interested to see some pics of builds using a antec 900 mk2.

Cable management should be much easier and the black interior looks great. Not completely won over by the top panel and its fan.

I want one, just need to find a spare one hundred pounds.

dont bother, save up some more cash and just get a 1200.

Alexdaredevilz · 24 Jan 2009 at 01:38

to me its looks the same, a couple more holes, painted black and the fan looks more 'bulky'

Too big for my desk really, I would have got a 1200 as it’s much nicer than the old 900 so this new one seems a perfect compromise.

Fledge · 24 Jan 2009 at 14:47

Well I don't really have much space under my desk...I think this is about 2" too big >.<
Damn!

-)G(-Sawyer · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:34

It's gone up a pound already. :rolleyes:

vincent1989 · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:46

ugly as sin, and cools just as well as many similarly priced cases (with less fans). when ever i see a case with a billion fans i always consider why they need so many fans (usually poorly built).

antec need to stop trying to make gamer cases and go back toward their roots, they used to do some pretty stylish cases (sonata II for one) but these new 'gamer' cases (read: over hyped pap) really are RUBBISH

having said that i hope anyone who buys one is happy with it

edit: black innards, the one thing it has going for it

Benimaru · 24 Jan 2009 at 18:00

Is very tempting to get that for my new rig I shall be buying soon but not too sure if I would get that instead of the lian li A10 I had my eyes on

thevet · 24 Jan 2009 at 18:38

re

1200 only, the more space the better,that new case is nice though

cje · 24 Jan 2009 at 18:40

I'm still happy I bought a 1200. But what have they actually overhauled and updated in it to justify calling it version "2"? I haven't owned one, but I can't see a difference. Maybe some fan filters?

muppetkiller · 24 Jan 2009 at 20:34

Have the 900 and 1200. The 900 i found is very good and i was very happy with it till i got the 1200. Found the 1200 has so much more space inside and was easyer to work with.

If the new 900 is still the same size you will run into it been cramped when working inside the case. I do notice they have changed a few things but noting major.

Oh and about the fans.. yeah they have lots of them but you will hardly notice them when set to low. Also if you read reviews the 900 and 1200 both are super at cooling "yes i know they have lots of fans" but your video cards make more noise then the case fans. Well in my experience.

I built a rig with a 1200 ages ago, and I didn't really like it. Quite a bit of space, but the build quality felt pretty cheap, and I thought it looked pretty ugly.

Comes down to personal taste, though.

Helios1234 · 25 Jan 2009 at 18:20

When did those antecs get so expensive? I remember when the 1200 was at that price!1

snakeater · 25 Jan 2009 at 21:24

Yeah, it's pretty expensive for what's essentially a budget case. Picked up my stacker for £180 about a year ago, making the price difference not that great.
