[dr. sarf]

Thinking of getting one of these cases, not convined my 12V CPU cable is gonna reach up there, especially with a cable mod.

 

[HEADRAT]

yeah good point, I'd need to extend mine as well.

 

[sepulchre]

The Antec 900 case I received a few days ago has 3 holes already precut + 2 holes for watercooling

I've seen a few pictures on the web of the 900 with 2 holes on the back for watercooling so maybe they have revised the model a little?

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.

You can get an extension cable, something like this for a couple of quid:

Hey i sure could use that Exstension 12v cable where did you get it from although my striker takes the 8 pin one

Ohh yeh, as i stated in a post before thye have revised the Antec 900 it went like this

1 - The normal Version like mine
2 - 2 Holes added at the back for External WaterCooling
3 - Watercooling holes and Motherboard tray holes.

Anyone know where I can get a 12V 8pin extension cable for the PSU?

I think the only way we can answer that is by mentioning a competitor. No can do.

It is easy to become distracted from ones main intention when looking at OCUK's website as easily as it is to push the buy now button

Thanks Guys just what i need

 

[dr. sarf]

Thanks a lot to the OP. My case arrived today and I've done a similar mod - although I have the new rev case with 2 holes in the backplate and 2 grommeted holes on the back for water cooling.
It tidies the case up hugely, just awaiting my motherboard & CPU to be delivered, then I can tie the cables down, take some more photos and share them with you.
Excellent mod, albeit fiddly and time consuming, but well worth it.

Thanks Mr OP gonna do this once my case comes, my parents 10+ year old case want cutting it for cooling, Ill post a pic when its all done.
Nice looking ram coolers BTW

 

[sepulchre]

The OPs case is a v1 (as far as I can tell from the pics) the later ones are v1.1 with holes in the back for water cooling and holes in the mobo tray for cable routing, although you still might want to cut some extra ones
