Antec Nine Hundred and Top PCI-E Slot

Does anyone know if the issue has been sorted out with the above case and the top expansion slot? I've read that if you have a mobo with the first PCI-E slot at the top then the dvi plugs are too big and won't fit under the lip of the recess at the back!

Anyone got one of these and run their gpu in the very top slot?

They're absolutely fine.

In the second revision of it, the chopped a big chunk of metal off the back so that it wouldn't have that problem anymore.

I bought mine last month and as soon as I got it I checked the back as I'd heard of this problem aswell, and it looks as if OCUK are only selling the case with the improved back panel

Cool, thanks for that. I knew a Rev 2 was planned but didn't know it was actually out. I do have another question though, can i use my own 120mm fans in this case or do you have to use the TriCool ones that come fitted? reason i ask is that i have 2 very nice and quiet fans at the moment and would like to ba able to use them as intake fans...

You can replace any 120mm fan thats pre-installed in any case...... :cool:

I thought that was the case, but in the reviews i've read they didn't mention it at all, just complained about the amount of noise the included fans made at full speed. Any self respecting pc owner will have their own preferred quiet fans anyway!!
