Antec 900 window mod!

[rapidman17]

Hey peepz,

Just finished the first Antec 900 mod.. .basically cut out the awful design on the panel using my dads rotary tool (no jigsaw lol took ages ;( ),and replaced with a single pane....

Pretty pleased with how it came out so hopefully this will be the first of many...

(soz bout quality of pics, camera phone was used...)







no hardware in there.... comp blew up .. i think you can just about see the burn marks at the bottom of the case in the last pic

nice job, i actually like the 900s window

Nice job.

Next on the list, get your internals coated black! I did it and haven't looked back. It is SO much easier to look at without the silver sticking out like a sore thumb. Best thing I've ever done!

Thanks guys for the feedback..

@noobieocer

The window is ok i guess, but the combination of the weird panel shape and the meshing just didnt cut it for me...

@°TheMadDutchDude°

Yep, tht is definitely the next thing for me to do... just need to save up a bit for the sandpaper, primer and paint....

looks much better then the original, as stated before black internals will make it look seckual

Great work, wish I had the skills/guts/equipment to do the same to my 900's side panel. Very tempted with the all black interior though.

Mate if you want i can do it for you...... if you pay for P+P, the cost of the plexi and rubber trim, and maybe a fiver on top, i would be happy to do it....

Thanks very much for the offer dude, have to pass on it for now I'm afraid but I might come back to you in the future. If I could though I would like to give it a go myself but me creating things involving saws and blades is never, usually, a happy tale.

 

[rapidman17]

Yh no problem mate, was just a suggestion

If you are thinking of doing it then the basic tools you will need are a rotary tool (dremel), a jigsaw, and some metal files..

There are some good videos on youtube that show you what you need to do... search for 'mnpctech window mod' i think

Really, it's nicely done. I noticed that you have holes on M/B tray for cable management. Have you made them aswell or is it 902 case??

No.. i only made one of the holes, the rest came as standard.

Im gonna put in some more holes for cable manangement, but i need to get a new mobo first so i know where to put them
