So, I was really looking forward to buy this case, I read the reviews and youtube videos.

I was all set to buy it when I noticed this: "2 x USB 2.0 "

Not USB 3.0?

So I will not be able to use my USB 3.0 motherboard and USB 3.0 memory sticks??

You could purchase USB-3 add-in card with rear connections, and also a front panel USB-3 unit that fits into a 5 1/4 external bay.

You can buy a USB 3.0 version of the 900 from sources such as NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021.

Why would you want to buy this loud rattling beast? This bad choice for a slient system loud LED fans and case window. They will rattle and viberate terribly. Why not the Fractal Define R3 or Coolermaster Silencio 550?

Gamers bought this case in droves. It was the definitive LAN party gamers case at one stage. Naturally enough it is easier to take your 900 to a LAN party with this Antec accessory http://store.antec.com/Product/accessories-other/lanboard/0-761345-30210-4.aspx. My local hardware dealer incidentally is currently offering a free LanBoard with the Antec 1200 V3. Incidentally, the follow-up to the 900 the Antec 902 was reviewd by SPCR http://www.silentpcreview.com/antec-902. I would suggest that anyone considering purchasing a 900 should look at this review first. The current V3 release of the 902 has USB 3.0 ports fitted as standard.

Either way it's bad choice and it's weak compared to the the two I've mention. I game myself and I would not be caught dead with a blinged out LED fan, windowed case. I guess if your into that stuff but money is better sent on proper slient case.

Please post everything in this topic.

I think Fractal Design Arc is better than Fractal Design Define R3, because it has included 3 140mm fans with a controller and it has USB 3.0.
I'm torn between the 2, what is your experience regarding noise, post on other topic...
