Category: Computer Enclosure
Product: Antec Nine Hundred (Ultimate Gamers Case)
Supplied by: Antec
Reviewer: Kevin Elliott
Date: 12/30/06 

Antec has been in the business of creating some of the most cutting edge cases for about as long as any of us can remember.  Cases such as their Super LANBOY, or Sonata has made them one of the premier case makers in the world.   The case we are looking at today is billed as the "Ultimate Gamers Case", the Antec Model Nine Hundred.

If nothing else this case has more than enough fans to cool off even the sweatiest Legionnaire and ample room for more than enough hard drives and optical drives which should make not only gamers, but photo editors and web designers happy as well.  Now that we have covered the sweet spots on the case we will let you become a bit more familiar with it as we get right on into the review.
