Just got an Antec 900. Git a question, on the front panel connecotrs, the manual shows connectors for HD LED, Pow LED, PWR SW, and Reset. Thing is, in the case,  I dont have a power led, just the other 3.

Curious what others have got. I know I've had others like that, but not many.  I got some PSUs/GPU issues I'm trying to clear up and I'm not leaving anything unturned..

Anyone else got the PWR LED-less Antec 900, or, creator forbid, did I get a defect?

thanx, penewahwah

Mine is PWR-LED-Less too.

Ditto here.  I wonder if they planned to have one originally and then decided not to and then forgot to change the manual.

No I don't but if you need a light that will work in its place I've got them in red, green, yellow and amber even got some I can put together and make it look like a lazor beam sight if someone walks by.

LOL, nah thnaks, I got a disco as it is. LOL. Thanks Eggxs, I just needed to know, to rule out some things, now on to ampage pergatory.

Penewah!

On the Antec website they say that this case comes without PWR Led, the two front LED case fans serve that purpose.

You don't actually have to have anything connected to the motherboard PWR led terminals, for what that is worth.

Now, my turn, is it true that this case doesn't have a case speaker for beep codes?   

That is indeed correct. I was surprised when I was hooking up my mobo to the other cables on the case, only to find there was no speaker in/around the case. Luckily, everything was put together just fine.

Well, the "follow up", LOL, I had nothing attached to the PWR LEDs, as I stated, I was troubleshooting some lossed power to the GPU, via a short. As I suspect, and thanx to great help from HogH and FatB, I traced it to the mobo tray, or lack there of, i.e. removable tray. The CPU cooler was touchin, ever so slightly, whch was problematic with the flush tray, w/o any depressions. But a quick readjusting pulled the short out, thus a prime example of folks having PSU issues, where anything could sap the power, to rebuild slow within, or externally.

I have a bunch of speakers laying around, so wasn't an issue for me, but one would have been nice. I must say though, it is one darn nice case. My GPU and CPu temps have dropped 7c & 5-6c respectively on idle. Havent quite measured load yet. Got to think the fan arrangement is the reason why, nothing like the 220mm Big Boy, as they refer to it, as the prime player. The thing is just plain sturdy as well. The HD cages are awesome, and the fan controls admirable. I slammed a 120mm LED on the side panel, so I've retained my disco fever as well.

I told my 3 yr old to "come check this out," with the room's lights out, as opposed to the Apevia Cruisier, which was well lit in its own right, and her response was, "aaaiiinnynyyy" which is Peanut-speak for "Big deal Daddy - get a life." Critics aye?

Thanks to all 4 your comments, my faith the Eggxs is reaffirmed once again.

Peace, Pene

I just had to post this link in here...

I mean, is that not the sexiest case you ever seen?I am so happy I found that because now I am going to buy it. I just wish the egg had it so i can buy it for cheaper, but jesus it is sexy! 

Wow, looks cool, but seems like a lot of $$$ to get it to green. Is that a Nvidia logo on top, isnt quite clear? But yeah, I think its pretty cool.

I was thinking about changing athe color of a fan or two down the road in mine. maybe if they burn out.

Nice find.

Yeah it's nvidia logo on top. I was going to just change the lights, but figured to much of a hassle.

The Nvidia version looks good but I'd figure I can change the fans myself since many people including myself says the stock tri-cools don't push much air and make alot of noise.

What would you replace them with then?Cause i really Like the green LED. That is what i wanted to do when I first saw the Antec 900. I love blue, but am tired of it for LED Lights in my PC.

 Probably Green or White . I love the blue color but it kinda bores me..

I just got my 900 last night and Mine only had 3 wires Power, Reset, and HDD Light. Not even a speaker wire, which is fine by me... and considering the fans light blue, maybe that is thier reason for no power wire. I guess if someone were to go and replace all the fans with something a but more powerful, or just prefered they did not light up that might creat an issue for that user, but then all you have to do is plug the HDD LED into the Power LED and it will work just fine for that job. It's labelled HDD, but it's just a light with 2 wires use it on almost any LED connector, that only uses 2 wires, you please.
