Antec900No-Drilling Cable Management Tutorial 1/3

[kingdibbe]

Can you close it on the back with that thick wires?

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks for all the + comments guys

[xBigWill94]

i have this case too, and let me say that it is a serious bitch to get it looking good when it comes to cable management

[GamingPrower]

I have the first version of the 900, no stock holes :/

[notimplementedyet]

only seen pt1 but im liking it already.. u did a really good job :D

[artificedooktb]

whos playin with the newest map pack? uh i cant believe just how superior it truly is! its far too overpriced however so i simply downloaded it at mw2forfreeYinfo (replace Y with . ) the other week. i am going to utilize the cash i ended up saving to get a brand-new mouse

[ChizzlaChiz]

Hey nice, mine's nearly the same, but I got lazy, and it's not as neat as yours. :P

[Grapeshavenutztoo]

honestly, i did the same exact thing for my 900, besides running the exhaust fan cable under the mobo, instead sent it out the back to watercooling holes:P taki.

[niggataytay300zx]

Haha rly =] funny stuff

[haloslayer78]

what power supply is that man nice vid btw

[niggataytay300zx]

Kingwin Mach 1 700 w Very nice and reliable. And thanks =D

[cantfunction98]

nice vid needs better lighting

[niggataytay300zx]

Sorry =[

[Airbusa319thehornet]

Antec 900 Two is the nicest case I've ever owned. Props to Antec for this one. This guy's a riot! I love his comments below! lol!

[FiSKEN80]

sexy voice

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks =D Never heard that before haha

[FiSKEN80]

haha^^ been listening to it for a while now:P just bought antec 900 so i needed some guidance on cable management:D

[niggataytay300zx]

Good to hear =P How u like the case?

[FiSKEN80]

havent started putting in the shitz yet:P pretty lazy, its just standing there looking good:)

[niggataytay300zx]

I feel you lol When ya plan to start?

[FiSKEN80]

i noticed that you ditched your 900 and bought 1200, were you dissapointed with the 900?

[niggataytay300zx]

Never!!! I wish I still had it =[ Jus had money and wanted to spend it lol

[FiSKEN80]

ah^^ is 1200 fulltower? and i think ill start now fixing it

[niggataytay300zx]

yep It is giant lol Anybody that walks in my room just stares, then points, and ask " wtf is that?" Lol My ex said my case made me the biggest nerd she dated haha

[FiSKEN80]

haha thats bad:D

[niggataytay300zx]

Well the truth is I am veeery nerdy. My appearance is just far from the typical nerdy gamer haha

[DayLight95]

lol you did the same thing with the molex fans that i did

[niggataytay300zx]

Haha  rly? It is a good setup

[DayLight95]

yeah it sure is lol

[couchpotatoe387]

Good video! I'm about to build a system with the Antec 900 so this is going to be a big help

[G9xXx]

get the nnew haf instead if u going for miditower or armorsuit

[Cotton926]

i did this

but ended up drilling holes anyways... im woodworker and have the tools

[niggataytay300zx]

I wanted to drill holes but didn't have the bit. I always asked my construction teacher to bring me his from home and he drinks too much and would always forget lol Now I graduated and its too late haha

[steelekilla101]

what extension cables did u need?

[niggataytay300zx]

None for this build. I would reccomend a 24 pin and 8 pin extension for the mobo. Look at my antec 1200 cable mangaement vid for links on these cables =]

[steelekilla101]

k thx

[takeapieandrun]

Routing through those two holes becomes a bitch if you use the optional fan holder.

[niggataytay300zx]

Yes it does =/ I never used it so I never had that annoyance

[takeapieandrun]

I actually got it to fit eventually. Just had to give the cables some slack and shove the fan holder in.

[lizardmannnn]

you should use the northbridge fan it came with

[niggataytay300zx]

I do use it now =] Look in my newest video

[revolverfive]

wtf?! my antec case dosnt have holes!

[niggataytay300zx]

Some don't =[ You can drill holes though

[wingsuser]

Are you able to put the side panel back on with all those wires stucking out?

[niggataytay300zx]

Yep, sure can =D

[wingsuser]

Thanks i just did some wire management too! mine isn't as neat as yours because i have a hard drive that uses IDE and also an SATA one so theres power cables galore

[niggataytay300zx]

Nice =] Even a little cable management can help with airflow !

[artillerypr]

no drill? :O my antec dont got stock hole :O nice luck dude!

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks =]

[Gokkyyy]

is that a Zalman Power Management..??

[niggataytay300zx]

Sorry, I dont exactly understand what you mean. If you are talking about variable speed/rpm , then yes it is. It comes with an adjustable speed knob. I run it max rpm 24/7 It is kinda loud but my room always has a tv going and a fish tank with moving water so it doesnt bother me =]

[sinjalas]

sure its not your dildo vibrating?

good video btw im planing to buy the 900 2nd model

[niggataytay300zx]

Haha Ya, the on/ off switch sometimes goes to on. Thanks man and the 902 is a great case. Looks hawt and I like how the inside is painted black and there are dust filters

[tippete123]

what do you think of this case????? im maybe gonna get one.

[niggataytay300zx]

I would definately get it. Such a great case for the price and youll never have cooling problems unless you overclock like mad and say run tri- sli lol This case the 900, the new version of this 902 and the 1200 all from antec are amazing cases. Would recommend all of them. Keep in mind they all are bottom mount power supply, so you need fairly good length in your cables. My psu almost didnt reach my 8 pin mobo spot =/

[tippete123]

thanks

[niggataytay300zx]

yep =]

[KarmaPolice93]

yep i got one and its a awesome case..airflow is great and looks really good as well....cable management isnt the best but you can manage with a heap of cableties...

[1f0und1]

this case is AMAZING ive had it for about 5 months, i would recommend it to anyone.

[niggataytay300zx]

Agreed

[Neil6160]

If you turn you power supply upsidedown that cable will reach drill out some hole s in the bottom of your case to vent the power supply

[niggataytay300zx]

Thats a good idea thx =]

[spazticmedia]

God, I wish I saw this before I did my cablemangement, wouldve made things go quicker

[Morris1987]

Great vid mate, really helpfull.

Didn't wanna drill and didnt wanna spend any more money on my new build. Probably get a coolermaster HAF 932 in distant future. but for now this will do :P

Cheers

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks and welcome

[HellbenderDXZero]

Inetresting video, man. And have to agree about you goin against drilling holes. Just a little nervous about damaging my case and wasting money getting another one. x.x

[niggataytay300zx]

Yep =] The only thing is I might drill holes in the far future =/ lol  But for awhile this is how my case is going to stay since its fine. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

[niggataytay300zx]

Glad to help =D

[Charlaweyd]

ah, thanks for these videos man, i didn't wanna cut in my antec 900 too :P so i kind of followed your way of doing this, thanks again ;)

[megagamer44]

thank you i need to know this stuff for my gaming pc to-be

[Lexusstylie]

nice tip for running the power cable behind the Graphic card,was struggleing with that cable for some time now ^^

[niggataytay300zx]

=] Ya, It took me awhile to figure that out aha. I was like " Why does the grafix card have a notch?"  lol

[brycepark]

Nice video, I'm putting a i7 and new mobo in this weekend. My cables are sloppy with my current build so I figured i should do it up right this time. So do you leave the powersupply free from the case, or do you screw it in after you send the cables out the back?

[niggataytay300zx]

If you are running the 900's front sound cable the way I did,(so it comes out the little hole near the power supply) make sure you do that before you screw it in, otherwise it doesn't really matter. I preferably seat the power supply about in its mounting position, but dont put in the screws until its all connected. Then I put in the screws.

[ZackMcLeish13]

why would i have to run the power out then back in? why wouldn't i just plug it in normally? just wondering why the 900 comes with so many small-plugged cables when i don't need them? lol

[niggataytay300zx]

I did that so less cable was showing and to help airflow. The more cable(s) inside the case, the less airflow you have. Even putting away a part of a cable can help overall airflow. =]

[ZackMcLeish13]

ah i see that makes d

sense :P but for what ill be using it for, the Antec 900 meets all my cooling needs and more :P but im still wondering why they include a whole bunch of wires with the case?

[niggataytay300zx]

The wires from the top are for the top ports of the Antec 900. The Power button, reset button, usb ports, and firewire port have cables to run to the motherboard. The firewire and usb cables you dont really need, those can be hidden in the back. You do need the power,reset cables hooked up to your motherboard. Any other wires in the case are for the 4 fans.

[ZackMcLeish13]

oh yeah it does have ports @ the top. would never have thought of that....lol.

[ZackMcLeish13]

uhh idk if you would know this, but would an asus m2n-sli have all of those ports for the wires? and 1 more question, how many power connections do i need for the fans? i have a 500w with 5. one is going to the disk drive.

[niggataytay300zx]

Yes that motherboard will have all the connections =] There are 4 fan connectors and luckily they are double sided, meaning they can plug into eachother =] The top fan, and two front fans can all plug into eachother, making a total of only 2 connectors. Your powersupply is fine =D Hope I helped

[ZackMcLeish13]

just what i needed to know. thank you so much! will i have any extra connections for an exhaust fan?

[niggataytay300zx]

You should have enough connections for the Antec 900 exhaust fan and even a side 120mm fan =] Anytime man, jus ask any questions you can think of

[ZackMcLeish13]

oh good. because im getting all my pc stuff from Summit Direct computers, and they have a fan that mounts in the available slots behind the pc (the ones with metal covers) and it mounts underneath the video card (i have a 7300gt) and literally takes the heat off it and blows it out the back. great little upgrade for like $15. it takes one power connector, so i was a little concerned. thanks for your help :) btw, i subscribed ^^

[niggataytay300zx]

Oh, a graphics card fan, you will have a spare connector for that =]  No problem and thank you =D

[ZackMcLeish13]

well it has a fan already on it, what im looking at is basically an exhaust duct.

[niggataytay300zx]

I know =] Its a squirrel cage design. Should drop temps greatly with your 7300gt

[ZackMcLeish13]

yeah of they dont have it ill just but a 120mm and but it backwards on the side panel mount for the exhaust. i think my hard drives could use their own fan each.... or even i could just buy a ram stick and build a back up pc with stock parts if i wanted to.....lol!

[niggataytay300zx]

Haha

[ZackMcLeish13]

hey i just found out that the exhaust thingy has a "pass-through plug", so i can have both the exhaust thing and a 120mm side mount :D

[niggataytay300zx]

=] Very nice

[ZackMcLeish13]

1 question, will an AM2+ Chip (Athlon 64 X2 7750) work in an AM2 motherboard (ASUS M2N SLI)? ASUS says that the AM2 boards that can support AM2+ chips includes the M2N-SLI and the M2N SLI Deluxe so im just making sure.

[niggataytay300zx]

Nice Chip =] I just ordered that same one for my friends computer build. And yes it will work in your motherboard, you might have to try different bios for everything to work 100% but that's no trouble

[ZackMcLeish13]

the thing is, i don't know anything about bios :P

[niggataytay300zx]

Well lets not worry about that right now ;p

[ZackMcLeish13]

because i wouldn't want the update to fail....i don't think i'd even need one, really.

[niggataytay300zx]

It depends on a lot of things, but everything should work fine anyway.

[ZackMcLeish13]

if it fails, is there a way to reload it again?

[niggataytay300zx]

It wont fail because Im pretty sure Asus as an Automatic Bios update program. When I had my Asus P5q pro, it had "Asus Update" a program that connected to Asus's internet server, downloaded all the Bios for my motherboard, and let me choose which one to use. Everything is automatic. Hopefully your asus board has that

[ZackMcLeish13]

it comes with a disk. i was inquiring about it when i went to summitdirect and the guy who was helping me said that all i would have to do is install the drivers for the hardware then itll be all good.

[niggataytay300zx]

You should be fine then. =]

[ZackMcLeish13]

if it tells me i need to should i install it? i highly doubt i need to, as the board has every connection updated for my hardware. DDR2, USB 2.0, PCI-E, SATA, etc.

[niggataytay300zx]

Install the update program? Yes I would install it

[ZackMcLeish13]

thats not the bios, right?

[niggataytay300zx]

Nope something different,  It updates the Bios though

[ZackMcLeish13]

so if it fails, is there a way to start the update over?

[niggataytay300zx]

You can  dont worry

[wpday07]

cheers mate, i should have more parts later next week hopefully, thanks for the help on the power supply though, i have ordered it and hopefully be delivered by late next week, because of the crap weather.

[wpday07]

And i havent recieved my accessories yet because royal mail is still down

[niggataytay300zx]

Wut are you waiting on in the mail? Btw Your case looks very good =D

[wpday07]

I made a video, but only using old components as money is a bit tight at the moment, but take a look, thanks

[wpday07]

yo, i have just ordered this case, can you tell me if it is possibe, how long is your 24pin and 4 pin ATX connectors in length CM, INCHES Thanks

[niggataytay300zx]

For my Kingwin Power Supply

60 cm for the 4 pin

45 cm for the 24 pin

If you want exact measurements contact Kingwin

1-909-598-2888

[wpday07]

Thanks every so much, very nice chap 10/10

[niggataytay300zx]

You're welcome.  So you plan to get my same power supply I assume?

[wpday07]

Yes, the UK has had terrible weather and because of it, i have yet to be delivered my ANTEC 900, so sad because its an amazing case, nice build by the way

[niggataytay300zx]

That's a shame and thank you=] Good luck with your build

[wpday07]

Wierd to deliver on a SUNDAY in the UK, but i recieved it, cheers

[DazToraUK]

Ive got this case and Im having the same problem with the CPU power cable, damn things to short

[niggataytay300zx]

My graphics card has a notch on the far side of it so the Cpu power cable can go in between it and the motherboard. If you cant do that you might have to buy an extension. If you are familiar with newegg, put this in the search bar

StarTech 8" 8 pin

Please let me know

[niggataytay300zx]

Lol Go for it

[Himom2032]

I'm totally gonna drill a bunch o holes in my panted antec 900... :P

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks

[kimzor1989]

That looks very tight with all the cables

[niggataytay300zx]

Ty and sorry for the wait for it to come out =[ And ya the views are a little misleading haha, 13,000 in 1 day

[AshKilamande]

hey thanks man, nice vid, it has gave me a few more ideas for my cable management, and already so many views!

[niggataytay300zx]

Thank you for your response and please check out Part2 that should be done uploading tonite.

And Lol @ my phones vibration, it does sound like a cruise ship horn XD

[RickArter]

Great video and your phone sounded like a cruise ship horn thought you were going on a cruise after the video LOL. 5/5
