The Antec 900 Cooling is AMAZING!

Hi folks,

So I finally installed my Antec 900, after several issues with faulty PSU's (Jeantech 700W Storm!) I decided to buy another PSU.

Got a 700W Thermaltake Toughpower Modular, with 14cm Fan

Its fantastic!

Anyway!

The Antec left me worried, because I couldnt be very neat with cabling, I did my best, but its quite cramped...

HOWEVER

It does not seem to affect temp because heres my temps!

CPU = 20 degrees (yes TWENTY!)
MB = 31 degrees
CPU Fan @ 750rpm

My CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6600, running @ 2.61ghz.

With my last case, a thermaltake Armor, which was bigger and more spacious, the cooling was

CPU = 28 degrees
MB = 39 degrees

So this Antec is FANTASTIC!

Cannot recommend it enough, if you are looking to buy one! Do it you will not be dissapointed!!!

Looks awesome to me, That and the TT Armor are the best looking cases out, the rest are horrid IMO!

My CPU cooler is an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro.

Using ASUS Probe to monitor the temps.

I'll try and take some pics later.

TT Armor was dust magnet, but nothing a hoover every other week wont fix

Where can I get coretemp?

Lian Li are the most boring cases though, they are like what you see in an Office block

I like the all flashing all dancing boy racer cases!

Core 0 32 degrees
Core 1 35 degrees

Is that good temps then? I thought below 30 is best for CPU's?

I'll take pics later

Sorry about the delay

Anti slip mat, can go in the groove bit on the top of the case.

It's sturdy, my TT Armor was better built though.

The Sonata? I dunno but that looks bland to me, and has a door...Very annoying!

The Blue LED's are in the fans, so you'd need to replace them.
