yeah jsut noticed how overpriced it is. The P182 would have been much cheaper, bastards have dropped it out of the selection at ebayer.liquidat0r wrote:

So I might as well save the money, yeah. Well that was a nice full circle I just went in.

It's really not. I've got it and it's not at all what it's hyped up to be.liquidat0r wrote:

I just got a tape measure and compared it to my current case. For one thing, it would stick out from under my desk (depth). Also, it looks like it's considerably taller.Poseidon wrote:

Pretty much the same dimensions as my current Antec Sonata. And I would consider those dimensions to be reasonably average.Finray wrote:
My brother (Jay) has the 900. It is quite big. Much bigger than the average case. He's having to buy a new desk because it won't fit under his current one. It's an awesome looking case though. Really sturdy too. Nice pop-up part on top with USB, Firewire, headphones etc. CD drives are hidden behind a swing door. Looks really good.

i like the sonata.
everything you said there is nice. yeah, the cooling is great (well, not anymore thanks to the shitty cable management), but you pay in terms of silence and having to clean it out all the time. i mean, it's not awfully loud, but it's not whisper quiet either.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

I read the old 900 thread 2 years ago. Everyone drooled how great the case looks in the marketing pics and the features it supposedly possess.
When ppl actually got their hands on it, they noticed its cable management sucks and it is terribad dust magnet.
If you'd actually read this thread, liquidator does not exactly praise sidepanel windows either, same goes probably for the leds.
+ Its far from quiet case. If you think it is, you haven't ever had one.
stop sucking other ppl's cock and get some facts right.
End of post.

Did not know that. I will be using it for storage only so thats only a benefit for me. There is no way to disable that?haffeysucks wrote:

When I gave a budget of £900, I was expecting it to come in nearer £1000.
