Hey guys i dont post here often but i modded my Antec 900 and i thought id share my simple little mod with you guys
Ok so to the parts and tools im going to Use.
To drill holes i am going to use an Electricians Hole Saw Kit
The Drill i am going to use is a Makita 18v Cordless Drill
Now this stuff i couldnt find anywhere in the Uk until Watercooling UK came to the rescue with Neoprene Rubber Edge Trim (they say its the Modders Best Friend)
Also some other bits and bobs such as Marker Pens and Masking Tape so i can mark out where i need to cut before removing the motherboard
Just thought id add this bit, It is better to use a modular PSU than a Standard one, simply because the Antec 900 does not have that much room behind the Motherboard tray to close the side in the Revision 3 they have maximized the space and added there own Holes to the motherboard tray (IMO not impressed with Antec's job of holes) thats about it any more Questions PM ME
Anyway Guys here is the pictures of my Small mod, Also any other people who have modded the 900 did you have trouble the the ATX 12v wire from the PSU i did mine it is tight as hell but anyway heres the pics.
The Tools
Before Modding and some very small black marks for where i am going to drill
Holes Drilled and Edged (Back)
Holes Drilled and Edged (Front)

Also Highlander, i have seen a few Antec cases with there own cable managment and i was not impressed at all, in most of them they have just put 2 holes by the side of the mobo and havnt even brought the PSU into consideration
