Antec have really in the face of craziness done is again a new case that incorporates the style of the Antec 1200 series and stuck it in the ass of the 900’s form factor. So I can say with the word of wisdom the new Antec 900 case plus the number two just a little add of sarcasm what a load of S*%!#!. Just to break the difference of the famous Antec 900 and the high performance of the 1200 came through a head of some corporate genius as he is, just join two cases together. Much to my imagination it is a great thing for Antec to make a hybrid performance case but still have the size to fit on of the basic form factors.
The Antec 900 series +2 is a ATX case with full black aluminium body with the total nine external 5.2in optical drive bays, with the feature of having the custom of having the 3.2in hard-drive bays in any place top or bottom and included is a dual blue LED fans that has a size of 120mm with max rpm of 1200, so complete silent cooling for the drive bays in the back is a single the same size and spec fan but a low profile one. And the grand theme of the case is a large 230mm fan blue LED included giving the case a closed triple cooling phase going from the front of the case is the metal mesh to pass cool air and with the help of the two fans, pushes the air in the heart of the board and can go either the PSU bottom compartment or in the back top of the case or the real top part that the 230mm fan pushes hot air out giving a silent performance cooling is stamped all over it and the inclusion of optional external water-cooling with the two pipe holes located in the side of the magical nine number of expansion slots.
For the cooling test of the Antec 900+2, being the stress test suitable is all out passive cooling fest with only the case fans cooling the board, the lot. With a 4870 1 GB a P35 chipset, a Intel QX6850, 4GB of DDR2 memory one Hitachi 650GB SATAII HDD and Antec’s own signature PSU. For the idle temp generally only went 30 degrees giving that it is all passive cooling and went 65 degrees in load. And the fans are in their highest rpm count giving the fans general noise level at 45dBa in load. But given lower figures in active cooling you can still see good performance charts and still bugging me to say it a good case to have to hold your precious mod into place.
