Screw Removal - Antec 902

Haydz · 23 Jul 2009 at 12:07

Okay so my antec 902 arrived this morning, i have succesfully secured the PSU and now i am onto the motherboard, but oh wait, problem. Antec secured a box of screws into the case by screwing them on, and i can't for the life of me get the screw out, as the screwhole is needed for the motherboard risers. Help Please

Then you have to get it out! Anything else will likely damage the thread.
Try giving it a slight tighten first. Then it should be easier to unscrew.

DONE IT!

Got some plyers and gripped the sides of the screw

Thanks for the help

Received my 902 this morning too

Really like it.

Is it me, or is there virtually no difference in sound levels with the top fan on low or medium? I can feel more air being pushed though..

I hadn't noticed but just tested, appears there is no difference. Im more concerned with the fact 2 of my motherboard screws keep falling out and are not tightining at all. Think im gonna have to find some old spares

Did you not get loads of screws with your case (inside the box with the bay adapter)?

I used the same type of screws that the PCI-plates use, not the thin small ones that are used for DVD-RW's/HDD's.

Sorry for the bump, but I've found out I used the screws to mount the motherboard which are actually for the DVD-RW..

It's almost impossible to get them out once their in unless I manage to pull the standoff out, and found the screws for the PCI-plates work fine. Are you actually meant to use these?

I recently upgraded to the 902 and was quite simply the best upgrade i have done the temps in my old lian li were ridiculous. It seems that i had exactly the same problem where the screws i used didnt like the antec standoffs was quite annoying. Seems im not the only 1 thats had this problem. Although i thoroughly pleased with the case. Everyone thats seen it thinks its awesome. Great case IMO.
