The Antec 900 is back!

The Antec 900 has returned, and it’s shaping up to be a great PC case

It’s official, Antec is reviving their iconic Antec 900 chassis, and we were hands-on with the new case at Computex. We toured Antec’s Computex booth, and alongside their new 900 chassis, we saw their incredible-looking Vortex View CPU cooler and Noctua Edition Flex Pro PC case.

As much as I love the Antec 900’s original design, the PC industry has moved on from that aesthetic. That said, Antec’s focusing on the same design fundamentals that made the original 900 a great PC case. In other words, the new 900 focuses on airflow.

At launch, the Antec 900 will have several colour options. However, these colour options will only change the colour of the case’s frame. At Computex, Antec had Black, Blue, and Green models on show.

The Antec 900 has a rotated PSU mount

Antec intends for users of this case to install their power supplies in a rotated configuration. This means that all modular PSU cable mounting points will be facing the case’s right side panel. This makes standard power supplies act like Corsair’s Shift-series units. This can make cable management (and cable removals or additions) a lot easier.

At the top of the case, we have space for a 360mm liquid coolers. Alternatively, users can install up to two 140mm fans or a 280mm liquid cooling solution.

At the front of the Antec 900, up to a 420mm (3x140mm) liquid cooler can be installed. The case also supports fans up to 200mm in size. Below, you can see a black Noctua NF-A20 fan installed inside this case.

The Antec 900 is coming back, and I couldn’t be happier. The 900 was in its prime when I started building PCs, so seeing the series make a return is filling me with nostalgia. Even so, this new incarnation of the 900 is shaping up to be a solid PC case. Hopefully we will get a chance to review this case when it launches.
