The GOAT: Antec 900 Case Revisit & New 900 (2026) Review, Benchmarks, and Thermals

Description

Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw We're revisiting the GOAT of cases from an earlier era: The Antec 900 (or "Nine Hundred," originally), but also, we're reviewing Antec's brand new 2026 900 case. The new 900 has absolutely nothing to do with the original GOATed 900 other than sharing a name, unfortunately, but it is a large metal and glass box with holes in it, so we'll test it like all of the other ones. Really, honestly, we were more interested in revisiting the old case. It was revolutionary and era-defining, and definitely a nostalgia punch for us in the office. In this revisit of the Antec 900 -- and review of the new Antec 900 -- we'll look at thermals, noise, and build quality while comparing them against each other.
