Well done! Did you cut the holes in the motherboard tray or do they come like that now?! Work on hiding those wires!

7/10 Nice Work!

It's a common case, but that means it must be a damn good case. I feel it is as I have one!

Well done! Did you cut the holes in the motherboard tray or do they come like that now?! Work on hiding those wires!

Those two holes in the side next to the RH edge of the MB Tray are a part of the newer Rev. 2 Antec 900's. I just installed my AC S1 on my 1950XTX and cleaned up some of my wires. Nothing near a TK or 'Slade special, but I'm content! Nice job on this case fafa!

i helped build this! the one really tricky part we had was with the heat sink i put it on wrong and we had to actually read the directions to put it on right. it took us about 2 hours for the whole build. i too think it could use some more cable management but i thnk its great.

Good job. Wiring could be improved a whole of a lot if you exploit those holes in the hdd cages.

8/10


EDIT: Age isnt an excuse :p. I'm 15 too.

Actually it looks like it's touching but there is about 5 mm of space in between
