Pros:

1. Space, space and more space....did I mention space? Space for all the rads, pumps and fans you could want!

2. Metal frame and simple yet good looks. Though supjective its a neat thing about it.

 

Cons:

1. Panels feel flimsy and the pci brackets on the back are the flimsiest pieces of metal I have ever seen. Bends easier then pudy. Also the bottom doors fall open when moving it...a lot.

2. Motherboard tray flex. Even with a maximus formula vii in it with the steal backplate.....It still had lots of flex.

3.Side panel came in bent and could't get it aligned no matter how Hard I tried to make it flush with the rest of the case.

 

Thats really about it. I really didn't find the hot swap drive bays all the needed but for some its a plus. I purchased this case but do to how flimsy it felt compared to my graphite series case I decided to return it.

I downgraded to a mid tower because I would feel the need to fill my case up 100%  and that would cost a ton for all those watercooling components

so now im limiting the money I spend by how much space I restrict myself to :)

I have the 760T. Love the full side panel window but it is a little cramped for my custom loop. I'm thinking of selling my 760T for a $100 or something and buying the 900D. That way I could throw away my dual bay Reservoir and get nice big\sexy tubular Res. Unfortunately I'd also need to buy new Radiators because the 900D requires some big ass Rad's to look right. I guess I could sell off my AlphaCool 280, 240, and 120 mm radiators but it would still cost me at least $500 out of pocket to switch cases and buy the new Rads. I'll do it eventually but I'm also really hoping a new big boy case is released soon. Maybe the 1000D :lol:

I'm currently in my 760T I need to upgrade to a bigger case during the holiday season. This case is way to small for my liking.

You could RMA the side panel right ?

Probably. However I returned it to new egg as I thought it was too flimsy for the price.

I don't think so just becuase of how big the panels were. They increased the size but not the thickness of the metal panels. Maybe it was just a bad one. I have no clue.

The 900D is awesome but after owning mine for almost a year I don't think the build quality justifies the price. Both of my basement doors are troublesome. They don't stay closed and they're also warped ( I have to slam them to keep them close which probably isn't good for the magnets.)
