Antec NX Series NX600, Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case, Tempered Glass Side Panel,Supports up to 6 Fans,1 X 120 mm ARGB Fan Included

i bought this case for my first pc build and wat can i say i love it. it shipped fast only took 3 days(not bad for free shipping). from the moment i opened the box i was surprized it was alot bigger then i thought it would be but thats good. i love the sleak black design simple yet beastly lol i was looking for a case thats simple and slick, im not too big on cases with crazy colors and odd shapes.i feel the price was right for the quality of the case. its very sterdy and seems like it will hold up a long time. the side window is very nice and has a vent hole with a additional fan mount on it if u wanted to add a fan. the lighting on the case is perfect. its a nice blue witch brings the inside of ur case to life. the lights arnt too bringt or to dim its just right. evryone that saw this case was stunned on how uniqe and pretty it looked. the inside of the case is spacious and had plenty room for all my parts.the fans are 4 pin molex connectors that u willl have to plug in ur psu not motherboared like most case fans. the case got a nice lil try on top for storage witch comes with a rubber pad that goes on it so it wont scratch the finish. over all i would very highly recomend this case to anyone its perfect for gaming or just wateve u digg. it had lots of expansion slots and drive bays. only thing i would change about it is the wire management holes to tuck all ur extra wire away,they a lil to small and close together. alot of ppl drill extra holes but i stay away from that and even how it is i still got all my wires tucked away neat.the case has VERY good cooling and is suprisingly quiet for how much fans it got.(i added a extra antec fan on my side panel window). i keep alll my fans on med and my side panel window on high and there very little noise. im very pleased with this case its a great overall case.

This case, while not the easiest to work on (no quick releases... anywhere), has housed three different PC internals for me over the years, has endured travel a few times (on the floorboard or trunk of an automobile), endured multiple HDD upgrades and has enjoyed a full complement of fan replacements, along with a repair to the main "big boy" fan on the top (blade snapped). I've had this case since 2008 and it still looks nearly as good now as when purchased. The paint and acrylic have held up very well, but I am also very careful with it when working on the system.While I'm not a professional system builder, I have personally gone through 12 cases over the last 20 years, all costing as much or more than this case is currently priced, and have been using this one for more than 7 of those years. That says quite a bit. The primary reason? Unparalleled cooling capacity. I simply cannot get anything to run hot in this case. And right now I'm only running two intake fans (rear and side panel, reversed orientation - have done this for years but is now only catching on), and the exhaust fan up top. As a bonus, this case features two ports in the back for routing water hoses through, but with the lack of space internally, I'm not sure how usable that is without removing the top mounted fan to make room for the radiator. More experienced reviewers are better suited to address that topic.For anyone looking to buy this case today, there are some things to keep in mind:- It is not a joy to work on. There are no quick releases, less room to route cables and tuck things away than other more modern cases.- The top exhaust fan will break if you smack your fingers into it enough times. The blades are cheap plastic. Maybe Antec has improved this since 2008. I have no idea. Additionally, the included variable speed (manual switch) 120mm fans only lasted about 1 year. At my time of purchase they also all required molex connectors, which may be problematic for you. The final Rosewill replacement fans I use have lasted for more than 4 years and are also variable speed (knob adjustment, bracket mounted. 4 pin connected), and for half the cost.- For what it is, it is expensive. Other brands claim similar performance with quicker access to components for the same or lower price.If I were buying a new case today, I'm not sure if I would pick the Antec 900. Because I already own it, I have a difficult time replacing it (it works and it works very well), On the same token, I already own it and haven't had any reason to try other cases for years now, with the exception of building family and friends new PCs, and they never wanted to spend more than 50 bucks on the case. So I really don't know what's out there in the ~$100 market. For personal use, this has been my only desktop case for years now as all my other active PCs are laptops or the like. Take that for what it's worth.

So this is an awesome case. It's the first one I bought and for $100 I think it's a fair price. Of course it is not perfect. Here are some pros and consCons> The fan speeds are useful when you are doing your build and then they're not so useful. I mean, they're not very easy to get to once everything is installed. You CAN change the speed but since they're just dangling about you have to be extra careful. A master fan speed control somewhere more accessible would have been miles better.> I worry about whether it will get dusty. This is the first case I've bought and while it feels really nice it doesn't appear to have many safeguards against this.Pros> Steel case: It feels very sturdy and solid. I expect it to last!> Cooling: It comes with four fans installed and it feels like cooling won't be an issue with this case. Whenever I use it I can tell it's really cool in there.> USB 3.0: You get 2 USB 3.0 connectors up front. This is an excellent feature! It's about time we get the world into 3.0 USB connectors. The 2.0 cap of ~30 MiB/s is ridiculous.> Screws: I got 2 to 3 times as many screws as I actually needed. For a newbie, like me, this was a really nice surprise, since having enough screws was a concern when I set out to do this build.> Thumb screws! It feels really nice to drop the screw driver every now and then.> Side view panel looks awesome!> Blue LEDs: The light show is also incredible. Honestly it looks amazing and it gives your build a great touch.> The top rest for your external drive, etc. is really nice.> Hard-drives, PCI add-ons, etc. were really easy to install.Neutral> Basic cable management: There are some cable management features but they only go so far. They will definitely help you with the mess of cables but it is very very basic.> You need an adapter to install an SSD. I knew that going in (since I would only expect a high-end case to have a way of installing SSD's without an adapter) but then the adapter I bought turned out to be less than useless. Of course, this was the adapter's fault, not the case's, but just something to consider.I've seen some cases with extra nice features like dust collection and advanced cable management (on top of the features this case has). This case has none of those extra niceties but those cases are usually $150-200 (the ones I saw at least). So I really recommend this one!
