(HQ) Antec 902 Cold Cathode Installation

[dyrdek2011]

ebuyer rules i just got myself some blue cathodes to fit in my thermaltake level 10 gt snow case should look cool when i set the fans to blue and install the cathodes

[crimson177]

Ebuyer always do that I ordered a ram kit and a 140mm fan and they used a box around that size as well. What’s wrong with jiffy bags.

[mike123asd]

do u think the cold cathode wires are long enough to fit into a obsidian 800d

[Holtii14]

psu is the wrong way up

[CockatooFilms]

@Holtii14 Makes more sense putting the fan on top though :P.

[CoinMcCoin]

Hi i was just wondering ive been looking for those little port covers (on you pci/ddr left over slots) and i just cant find them anywhere. I know you said eBay but i have no idea what to type and have had no luck finding them. Hopefully you will reply back soon. Cheers

[TheChubbyCarlos]

Are the cathodes uv or are they blue ???

[HackMastery007]

you need more cable management ....

[ThatBum42]

You might have installed the LED bar upside down, with the LEDs pointing up at the top of the case and shining right at the metal. They're directional, you know.

[MorgieAlmighty]

are the blue cathodes UV?

[RemnantsOfBeauty]

You have the Flashing LED facing the wrong way, it should be facing down to get maxium effect =) Ebuyer don't sell this anymore =/ i would have bbought some if they did

[guitarfish83]

You should get the hyperx memory cooling fan, wood look great with your system (BLUEEE)

[ixy1987]

so did you buy the cold cathodes as a package or did you have to buy them seperately...part by part ????

pleae reply i wanted to get them

[zapsak]

xmas tree ftw

[GlazeBoiX]

WTF is that annoying buzzing sound ?

[fiestababy05]

15" Cathodes will fit inside the antec 902? Thanks for your help!

[XDHunT3RXD]

Cool. I got custom LEDs in my Antec 902, like 3 additional Blue LEDs, and My sound-activated Cathodes are on the way! :D I'm going to mount them as u mounted it, near the HDD Bays. 15" Cold cathodes, Gonna be a kickass!

Antec 902 FTW! :)

[Necrotwilly]

aw, i bought some of these for my new case wich im not gonna get :/

[arbi95]

@Necrotwilly why?

[Necrotwilly]

@arbi95 the store fcked up and went bust for some reason and no1 got their products :/

[arbi95]

@Necrotwilly did they give you, your money back. thats really bad, i hate when things like this happens. i did buy 8gb of ram in a shop on the internet, but somehow they didnt registrer my product, and i didnt get my money back, and after a month they sent it, and i got it :) . i was happy and angry XD

[TheXtraGuy]

you dont need a 900w psu for that system. you'd probably be fone with a 600 w psu

[DaRkStAr197]

dude, i can't get my cold cathodes to work.. i plugged them into inverter box, switched them on in the PCI bracket, and pluged them in, but when i turn on my pc they stay off..

[popomartin2]

thanks (Y) thumbs up

[xchlppprsx]

hey if you wanna do something even better with those cathodes, go to tjharlows page and he has a video on how to hook up a switch to the cathodes and you can put the switch on the front of the case in a 5.25 drive bay

[bunnyzog]

Hi ive got 2 ati radeon 5870s in crossfire they each have 2 cables 1 end is 6 pin connecter the other has a 8 pin connecter im looking to replace them with UV cables but having trouble finding UV with these connecters on any idears

[Durkadurka1995]

It's blinding! lol

[getlow1985]

[GENERAL1002]

[canontmr]

[oli3659]

[GENERAL1002]

[Flarinon]

yo do the cathodes go off when you power em off?

[canontmr]

[oli3659]

they turn off when ur pc turns of of course

[GENERAL1002]

@Flarinon

I would hope so...?

[haoski]

[Zadikastube]

[abc56975314]

What if you want to take the cathodes off?

[Brokennotion]

[MCDMaker]

Oh damn you wroted alot on the more information^^ xD

[darksupreme]

VERY NICE o.O BUT I MUST KNOW THE SONG NAME AND ARTIST PLZ

[Ankstek013]

man, its such a difference with a black interior rather then the grayish colour i have in my antec 300... :) gotta paint mine soon, if i dont become to lazy. and put a window on the side panel.

[sandiegoborn32]

Very, very nice clean setup you have there :)

[KooolaNL]

dnb dnb dnb dnb dnb dnb dnb dnb dnb dnb

[BabesShugar]

wer did u coneect dat cold cathodes ?

[YllePelle92]

Hey man im going to buy the dual Cold Cathode and install them in my antec 902 wich im going to buy soon :D,and i have one quation :P, it is a big diffrent when you had removed the lid from the side and when you squash it?, if it lights up as strong externally? :D, otherwise very nice video! :P

[fungi1994]

yay a vid with the same cathodes i'm getting :) they are seriously bright for the price lol. wish i had the moneyz for an antec 902 though :P. thx for the vid!

[tobleroneuk]

They are great for the price, I love the fact that ebuyer have a tonne of them as well, I can just imagine them all stacked in their warehouse! Show off your rig when you get them :)

[RobCharles1981]

Hey Bud Can you tell me more about the Cold Cathodes you had from Ebuyer can you switch them off when you don't want them on??

[tobleroneuk]

yeah they have a switch attahced, I keep mine hidden and leave iton 24/7 but yeah you can turn them off if you want to

[RobCharles1981]

Where is the switch them out of interest??

[tobleroneuk]

its attached to the blue inverter box, i have mine tucked behind the side panel

[RobCharles1981]

Ah Cool, I read on youtube that you can get a drive bay switch for these?

[tobleroneuk]

Sure you can, you might need to rewire them depending on the connections

[RobCharles1981]

Where can I get that from do you think?

[tobleroneuk]

not sure, it would be quite a bespoke part, I know some people make them themselves by buying switches from a hardware shop and then drilling holes in an empty drive bay. However, try places like microdirect, overclockers, scan etc

[RobCharles1981]

Ok Cheers! overall how do you find the Antec 902 Case?

[tobleroneuk]

For me its perfect, I dont really have the space for a full tower so this is a perfect size. Also, its all black inside, has a great airflow, is quiet and has dust filters, unlike the Antec 900 which got so dusty!! I would recommend it to anyone

[RobCharles1981]

I agree I'm using the 900 its a bastard for dust!!

[RobCharles1981]

Yeah just been cleaning it out today its pain! I've decided to get the 902 anyway.

Where did you run the hard drive cage fan wires too?

[tobleroneuk]

Glad to here you are gonna get it!

The fan wires for me all run out the back through the holes in the motherboard tray, then I hook them up to molex power all behind the case so you cant see it. Its a really great case to work with

[RobCharles1981]

Do you suggest a need for me to mod a hole for the hard drive cages for cable managment I was also suggesting to get 24 Inch Sata Data Cables.

[RobCharles1981]

Cool, I was suggesting to get 24in Sata Cables and was going to Mod the Case for a hole?

[tobleroneuk]

Ok I know what you mean, I think that would be great if you have the tools, I don't want to mod my case just yet! If you do that, Im sure you have seen videos where you can mount your HDD cage the other way around for a really clean look?

[RobCharles1981]

Yeah Cool Thanks I've ordered my Extention Cables And Cathodes From Performance PC's so they should arrive in due course.

Yeah I've seen that mod looks cool!

[tin701]

i like the original 900 better :D

[DaUltimateKilla]

Wow, really cool.. :D

I have the same case and 2 old cathodes are still in my old case xD I need to put them in my new..

Nice ending

[Rickardlowenberg]

do you think that i can buy the flash light? i live in swe

[Fireburd]

not from ebuyer i dont think

[stussykim]

HIGH CONTRAST + ANTEC!

LEGENDARY!

[gameace1000]

You do not want to install both of the cathodes running up the side... One goes on the side, and one runs across the top... there is a notch and you can just slide it above.

[aodknifer]

I have the same case with a non modular PSU and i have trouble closing my back side panel, it will shoot out if i take off the screws haha. Do you have this issue? -_-

[tobleroneuk]

It is a little stiff to close but it is not that tight, just try to get the cables as flat as possible to the case and maybe use cable ties to wrap them together. they should all fit under nicely, just take some time to manage them all.

[aodknifer]

yeah I didnt take as much time to manage the cables in the back than i did inside the case. I think i will use more cable ties and try and flatten out the cables more. Thanks and nice video. :D

[freedomfighter40000]

is ebuyer good for buying stuff, you know trustworthy delivery and customer service ect?

[tobleroneuk]

Really good for everything, they are a massive company and when i have needed an RMA they are very quick. Its a huge conpany that sells everything, their warehouse is really advanced, they even have a vid on youtube about it.

[doomtomb3]

Looks beautiful! nice placement

[tobleroneuk]

I changed them recently so that you can't even see them now, inside the HDD cages. Also, i got an 8pin CPU extender so my cable management works even better :)

[Younowkoed]

how did you oc your q6600? is there any easy way? like putting up the multiplyer by 1?

[tobleroneuk]

Multiplier is locked, you can only multiply down. The extreme CPU's can have thier multiplier increased overclock using the FSB.

[SHARKPUNCHER]

the cathode on the side are blue right, there not UV color? cuz i bought blue and i hope it matches with the antec 902 that i have

[tobleroneuk]

Yes they are blue and they match really nice with the Antec 902

[Kitarist88]

Great case!!! i'll be building my new rig soon but i'll just wait a little bit so the prices will go even lower hehe

[tobleroneuk]

Great choice, it really is so easy to work in. Hopefully I can add a HD video soon I got a new camera to make much better videos :)

[dits17]

route the switch cable round the back, push the switch into the water tube hole connect up wires.

[tobleroneuk]

I used to have that on my Antec 900, the water holes are perfect for switches, i think for now i will just leave it where it is, as i prefer to leave it on 24/7 anyway. Thanks

[staticxmako]

nice man

but plz dont call this a mod, all you did was buy stuff and put in , thats not a mod

nice tho ok

and i have the same philips head as you do lol

[sushiboy805]

nice wat wre ur average idle and load temps of the cores

[tobleroneuk]

Idle im about 38 c

Load i get to about 68 c

Thats using the older B3 stepping Q6600

[dits17]

is your cold cathode switch round?

[tobleroneuk]

Yes, it is round
