I received my new Antec 902 case today, guess what? there's no manual.

Any suggestions on how to find one?

Do they exist? lol

Actually, no, as it doesn't mention how to take the front bezel off.

There are two screws on either side, but once removed the bezel will only come apart to near the top. I didn't want to force it off, so I thought I'll try and find the manual, as there may have been hidden screws etc,.
 
Try looking from the inside of the case, it might have these weird plastic bits that stick into the metal bezel. My case did, and they're pretty stiff the first time you try to pull it off. If there are try easing them out from the inside, it may help.

Thanks. I'll give it a go.
 
Oooo just found out, that there might be a couple of screws on the inside attaching the front side parts of the bezel to the steel frame once you take the side panel off. Unless you've already taken them out this could be another reason why it's refusing to come out nicely.

Yes I removed them.

I may (will) need help in plugging in the cables from my Antec Earthwatts EA750W to my Assus P6x58D-E Mobo.

Are you familiar with these devices?
 
I know what they are, but I haven't worked with them personally. Although you only need two cables for your motherboard 24-pin ATX which is the obvious huge one and the 4/8pin for the CPU, both of which should be labelled and possibly with diagrams in the manual.

Shout if you need help though, and I (or someone else) will answer the call.

I thought that they'll be labelled as well, but, the 8 pin has P3 on it!
 
Yeah, kudos to Antec on the labelling. Would be so much easier if they just labelled it ATX 8 PIN or something. Anyways, your P3 labelled one should be the other motherboard one for the 8 pin socket by the CPU. And then you've just gotta find the cable that says PCI-E and likely has 6+2 pins and put that in your graphics card and thats the main bits of the mobo done. Hard drives and opitcal drives are easy, sata power cables are pretty obvious what goes where.

The PCI-E cables are labelled, I'm waiting for my memory and Optical drive to be delivered, so I can finish.
 
Well at least they did something right lol.

Out of interest got any specs for this rig that you're building? X58 mobo I notice - so clearly i7 at least.

Looks like you got yourself a system that's gonna run games with high fps alright:p
 
Looking sweet as man! For someone who called himself a "noob" no arrival you've chosen some pretty awesome gear!
 
Hey! Thanks for the comments.

At last my memory has arrived and an extra Cooler Master fan (cheaper in Germany!).

I might have this up and running today (fingers crossed).
