1.4 Before You Begin In order to ensure that your building experience with the NINETEEN HUNDRED will be a positive one, please take note of the following: 7 While working inside your NINETEEN HUNDRED, keep your chassis on a flat, stable surface. Make sure your build environment is clean, well-lit, and free of dust. Antec chassis feature rounded edges that minimize the occurrence of hand injuries. Nonetheless, exercise caution and control when handling chassis interiors.
