The Nine Hundred is one of Antec’s cases designed specifically for the gamer. Containing a huge 200mm fan on top, and no less than five places to mount 120’s, at least it should run cool… About Antec The year was 1986. Starbucks had onl...

The Antec Nine Hundred is unnecessary. No one really needs five 120mm fans AND a 200mm fan, but then again, no one needs quad SLI. I personally love the Antec Nine Hundred, and I think that it could easily find a loving home with any gamer. For £69.99...

Video Review: If you're in the market for a new chassis, I would strongly recommend checking out the Antec Nine Hundred Case. It has most of the ingredients you should look for when purchasing a case. There are lots of fans and one massive 200mm fan at the top of the case, which provide excellent air circulation inside the case. There are many drive bays and modular HDD cages, which can be configured for your particular drive setup. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the e...
