Ultimate gamer case? Just maybe. With a partially perforated package that still finds room for four huge yet quiet fans, you have a seriously cool gaming case, and that's no joke. You expect the Antec Nine Hundred Two to be ready for lift off, especially with the 200mm TriCool exhaust fan and perforated port atop this stylish case. It even has mounted dual 120mm fans in the front and a 120mm fan at the rear panel! Contrary to what you might expect, this case is very quiet, unless you have all the fans going at their highest settings, at which point you might hear . . . something.
The 5.25" bays will hold optical drives, burners, or even (gasp!) your aging floppy drive, and up to six 3.5" drives can be installed in cages behind the fans, and these can be arranged along the front any way you like. This case provides a plethora of possibilities, and room to explore placement of all the pieces. The PSU, in a departure, is at the bottom of the case, for better case stability and thermal environment for the CPU.
The side window of the case, in addition to letting you show things off, provides additional ventilation, either by way of the vented screen, or by the fourth fan in the box, mounted in clear plastic, for a clear and elegant mounting. This is a sturdy steel case, with enough cooling technology to keep things frosty in the hottest action. Take one home today and build yourself the "coolest" rig around!

DO NOT WRITE A REVIEW UNLESS YOU OWN IT!!!
- Pros: So yeah i didnt get this from newegg...:( But it's absolutely amazing! It has everything that was great from the first version of the nine hundred, the black finish on the back metal plate makes everything look devious when paired with red or green led fans/cathodes. altogether the best made case I've seen in a long time apart from it's counterpart. Airflow is top notch, haven't had any issues whatsoever w/ my Phenom II setup...of which i love....alot. Visuals are more appealing to me, slightly more compacted feeling than the old one, mainly due to the lack of plastic molding on the top. Whatever I can live w/o it.
- Cons: Costs 50 bucks more than it's older counterpart. Other than that nothing really.
- Other Thoughts: Steel...is...heavy. Fully loaded...LOL...no lan parties w/ ease anymore for me. I comes in at about 35-40 lbs. Nothing compared to a full tower, but still more than you wanna lug around. Space is a bit cramped w/ 2 4870x2s, they're the ASUS 3-slot beasts...they're great, but freaking huge. Work great on my MSI DKA790GX Plat. Motherboard. Did I mention I love my Phenom II?
GOOD CASE but flawed
- Pros: Its black, it holds a motherboard, and has a power button! costs 60 bones more than the original
- Cons: JUST TO SHARE. There is a major change to this case that should be noted! Because of the extra 8th expansion slot they had to move the motherboard placement up higher in the case. Dangerously close to the 200mm fan. if you own a intel machine the heatsink could be a HUGE PROBLEM getting stuck in the fan. AMD socket is lower and shouldnt be as big of a problem. LOOK at pics and confirm for yourself
- Other Thoughts: They changed the slots to allow better 3 gpu card support, but if you ask me they failed big time. If I had a 3 card setup id be in a 1200 not 902 in the first place.
Because of this i bought a storm sniper instead.

Beautiful Case
- Pros: Great Quality, Great Airflow. Cooled my system by over 10C from previous Coolmaster Case. Love the Finish and lots of Room. Would recommend this case to anyone. Fits the 5870 if you take out the harddrives in the one slot.
- Cons: Wish it had some more holes on the backside to put more wires. Only complaint is that I need to remove both side doors, and hard drive case to clean the dust filters. Takes a good 5 mins.
Solid and sexy, but not perfect
- Pros: . Very sturdy build
. Good looks
. Tremendous air-flow characteristics
. All Black
. Excellent quality-control (essentially defect-free)
- Cons: . Access to optical drive/hard drive basy requires removal of BOTH side panels
. Not tool-less by any means (screws for everything).
. Tight fit for larger VGA cards, and 11" inch behemoths will require a lot of ingenuity
. Difficult cable management without sucking up drive space in the process (I will never buy a non-modular power supply again)
. Apparently there may be some grounding issues as the speaker jack picks up a lot of EMI/RFI from the components
- Other Thoughts: All-in-all I'm very happy with the Nine Hundred Two. The problems I encountered were not unexpected, because I have a space issue and a full-tower would not have fit. MOBOs and Cards with rear SATA/Power connections present some interesting challenges depending on how they are arranged. The drive bay access and the EMI issues are my major gripes and the reason for the 1-star deduction. A good choice for most applications, but beware of the shortcomings.
Big Improvement
- Pros: Much improved from it's older brother 900 1. Love the blue L.E.D. on the big boy fan. Filters on the front 120 mm fans are another new feature. I like the matte finish on the front of the case and fan speed controls for each fan. Just feels solid. For the price you can't beat it.
- Cons: Not much but if I had to write something I would like a full view from the side panel.
