Does the P5B-Deluxe work with Antec 900 Case

[kenton]

Is anyone running the P5B Deluxe in the Antec 900 case?

The 900 has a problem if the motherboard's first slot is a graphics card and is the first slot on the backpanel.

The P5B-E has a 1x PCI-E slot first, but the P5B Deluxe does not have this slot present.



Can ANYONE tell me if the P5B Deluxe's first PCI-E slot is the FIRST or SECOND slot on the back of your case? The first PCI-E slot is the first slot on the board, but that does not mean it's the first slot on the back of the case.

they fixed that issue on the 900, it's all over the review sites.

I don't have the same board but didn't get an impression that the case would have a problem with any board in general?

It's EVGA 680i board with Antec 900. Hope it helps.

The problem he described, while a real problem, was addressed by Antec by a revision to the case and by pulling all the Rev. 1 cases off the shelves more than a month or so ago. It's been so long since this was an issue that I think you'd be hard pressed to find a retailer who has a Rev. 1 Antec Nine Hundred case still in stock.

He's just pulling up WAY old news without doing any basic research or reading.

Fry's was still selling the rev. 1 cases as recently as a few weeks ago. I bought one and wasn't lucky enough to get the rev. 2 case. I am not sure if they have pulled the rev. 1 stock and now have only rev. 2 but Antec is being extremely cool about this and sending out the newer bare chassis (no fans, side doors, etc) to customers who received rev. 1 but need the newer version. Of course, it's taking several weeks for them to ship the replacements.
