Ultimate gamer case? Just maybe. With a partially perforated package that finds room for six huge yet quiet fans, you have a seriously cool gaming case, and that's no joke. You expect the Antec Twelve Hundred 750 to be ready for lift off, especially with the 200mm Big Boy 200 LED fan and perforated port atop this stylish case. Contrary to some expectations, this case is very quiet, unless you have all the fans going at their highest settings, at which point you might hear . . . something.

The 5.25" bays will hold optical drives, burners, or even (gasp!) your aging floppy drive, and up to nine 3.5" drives can be installed in cages behind the fans, and these can be arranged along the front any way you like. This case provides a plethora of possibilities, and room to explore placement of all the pieces. The PSU, in a departure, is at the bottom of the case, for better case stability and thermal environment for the CPU.

The side panel plastic window, in addition to letting you show things off, provides additional ventilation, either by way of the vented screen, or by an optional 120mm side fan. This is a sturdy case built of steel, with enough cooling technology to keep things frosty in the hottest action. Take one home today and build yourself the "coolest" rig around!

  • newegg Big Boy 200 Fan The Antec Twelve Hundred features a unique top-mounted 200mm Big Boy 200 blue LED fan to exhaust heat away from the chassis.
  • newegg Transparent Side Panel Window The Antec Twelve Hundred’s transparent side panel window provides a direct view of the inner system and reveals the 200mm fan's cool LED lights for added stylishness and eye-catching fun. A 120mm fan can be installed on the side panel for maximum heat dissipation of the system.
  • newegg Flexi Drive Bay System The Antec Twelve Hundred’s twelve drive bays provide four possible combinations including 3 x 5.25-inch external and 9 x 3.5-inch internal drive bays, or 6 x 5.25-inch external and 6 x 3.5-inch internal drive bays, or 9 x 5.25-inch external and 3 x 3.5-inch internal drive bays, or 12 x 5.25-inch external drive bays.
  • newegg Extreme Airflow and Cooling The Antec Twelve Hundred features one 200mm Big Boy 200 fan on the top, three 120mm TriCool front blue LED fans, two 120mm rear fans and optimized internal airflow for peerless cooling performance.
  • newegg Convenient Top I/O Panel and Top Power Switch The Antec Twelve Hundred’s top I/O panel enables remarkably convenient access to two USB 2.0 ports, one eSATA port and two HD audio ports. The top power switch and reset switch with blue LED ensure convenient access when the case is placed on the floor.
  • newegg 750W Power Supply The Antec Twelve Hundred comes with a powerful 750W power supply unit to handle all your power needs.

5 out of 5 eggsAntec 1200 Case

Pros: Great case. It's heavy, well built, solidly designed. Cable routing is well thought out for the most part (more in Cons), fans all are fairly quiet, with lots of speed settings.

Cons: The CPU power cable does not reach the port on the motherboard when trying to route it behind the back side of the case. All the other cables should have plenty of length, leaving you with a beautifully open case, excepting that one cable. I would recomend getting an Extender, or a power supply with a longer CPU power cord, but overall not a major problem, I just let it drape over my GPU, plan to pick up an extender some time.

Other Thoughts: Would buy again multiple times, and I recomend it to anyone that wants a large, well thought out case. However I would not recomend to anyone wanting a smaller case, as it is quite large.

5 out of 5 eggsThis thing is a tank!

Pros: Sh*t, this thing is heavy. The UPS guy had trouble bringing it to my doorstep. If this ever fell on anyone... it would be on the news...lol Anyway, I got this on sale, so for me it was a good deal. The PSU came attached, to make sure that it didnt scratch the inside of the case/plexiglass. It's like a cavern; the thing is huge, my dog tried to turn it into his new home. There's plenty of extra screws and whatnot to put whatever you want in there, and it cools everything inside without a problem. It's really not that loud, just make sure the hot air has space to go to, otherwise it will create a sauna behind your desk. The case has great cable management, and gives alot of space for watercooling, if you're panning to use it. I'd highly recommend this case.

Cons: It's heavy? It's actually so tough that when I put it on its side to install stuff it scratched the cr*p out of my desk. but the case? nothing, lol. Like I said, a tank. Make sure your desk has enough room for it.

Other Thoughts: READ READ READ EVERYTHING BEFORE U GO STICKING UR HANDS IN THERE. If you're the type that likes to start rippin stuff apart without reading, you will screw urself when it comes to putting the bays and everything back together. Screws will get lose and you WILL get frustrated.

5 out of 5 eggsSWEET!!!

Pros: I knew it was just what I wanted when I saw the delivery man struggling to get it out of the truck haha! This sucker is huge =) And to think that I was worried about fitting a large video card and a tuniq 120 extreme cpu cooler in here. I'm sure I'll have no problem. Ok, so for the pros
-GINORMOUS
-Heavy duty
-Awesome 6 fan layout(each with speed settings)
-Tons of extra hardware
-750w PSU included(tons of connectors....and then a couple more lol)
-2.5" HDD mounting bracket included
-Fast Shipping

Cons: Only one bad thing so far. I noticed that other reviewers ran into the same problem as well. The case is shipped with the Power Supply mounted in the case and due to rough handling the mounting bracket was bent a little. Not really a big deal....I just straightened it with some pliers. However, I am surprised that newegg hasn't addressed this issue yet.

Other Thoughts: Worth every penny! Can't wait for the i7 875k to arrive *twiddles thumbs*

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome

Pros: Fans are quiet, the weight of it ensures no vibration, its huge, a million extra screws and wires, good cable management, arrived in perfect condition. Feels like it cools the whole room. Customize the fan speed to max and watch your equipment start plummeting in temperature... and its not even that loud.

Power supply installed, motherboard ATX spacers already in.

Could stop a bullet.

Cons: UPS didn't even ring my doorbell when they dropped it off(and 1000 dollars of other stuff)

Its a real pain in the *** to get all those screws out but its a one time thing. One of the screw holes for mounting a harddrive wasnt drilled perfectly but it works fine. Labels on the screws and packaged seperately would have been a bit more helpful. Be careful not to use a wrong screw in the motherboard because it will strip and get caught.
The LED's are annoying if you are looking at the case. They pierce through random spots and blind you.

Other Thoughts: Expensive, but probably the last case I will ever need to buy. The fans pop off a little in the front so don't be alarmed when it looks like they are damaged, they just pop out if you move it some. Comes with a manual, READ IT and don't remove more screws then you have to! I wasted time removing too many!

5 out of 5 eggsIT'S HUGE!!

Pros: OMYG...it's huge.....what can you do with all those bays????>....with room for all the drives you can imagine and enough cooling and fans....doubles as a safe....

Seriously, this is the case to have if you are constantly upgrading your computer...enough room for everything, nice cable placements, clear window, the fans are great and if you combine with a LED display (Corsair) for the memory, a beautiful display case as well.

The cage system works very well with all the drives.

Cons: Sure it's heavy...but it's not meant for a laptop or netbook...it stays in one place....

i would have preferred less screws and a panel attachment like the 1030B but the screws are ok...

Other Thoughts: The Case to rule all others.....

5 out of 5 eggsAntec blue 750

Pros: Antec has always been my favorite because of the great quality they have on there products, you can fit every thing plus inside this case, all the fans are quiet even in high speed, the blue LED's are a great touch to there design.

Cons: Not much of an complain but.
PSU already installed I had to remove it to use a different on the particular build I'm working on, would of save me time if was not installed.

Other Thoughts: when you buy the Antec 1200 case without the power supply it comes with 2 extras 120 mm Fans you could use it for the side panel and maybe inside of the case if you like,
This set with the power supply does not come with the 2 extras 120 mm fans.

Over all it's a 5 Egg Case.

5 out of 5 eggsideal gaming case

Pros: amazing cooling. all fans are adjustable for quiet vs. performance. cable management is pretty good. roomy enough for endless upgrades (which I plan to do). power supply has nice wrapped cables.

Cons: power supply was fitted in very loosely and during shipping was actually RIPPED from the brackets that support it. after some work with pliers bending 2 corners of the brackets back in place, I was able to reattach the PSU, but its not very stable. was gonna get a replacement but I didn't feel it was that bad of a problem. I recommend buying the case and power supply separately though.

Other Thoughts: this case is BIG. I replaced my older case with this 1200, and its about 1.5 times as tall as my older one.

I would have liked to see slightly more space on the back side panel for cable management, but thats mainly me not being able to tie stuff down well. on the note of cable management, the 24-pin and 8-pin motherboard connectors DO fit behind the motherboard tray, but its pretty tight. buy extenders only if you want to do some fancy configurations with those wires

5 out of 5 eggsBest Case Ive Owned

Pros: The case. I bought this case for my new build I was going to keep my Antec 900 for my new build vut I sold the whole PC for a nice price. Well I was going to just replace the 900 but I saw this and the price, well it can be beat. Antec has very high quality products and will continue to be my choice for Case and PSU.

Cons: None.

4 out of 5 eggsperfection

Pros: CPU heat sink hole, many fans, large size, turned edges, room for hiding wires, did i mention large? This case is about as nice as it gets. The included power supply is also great, and handles any system with up to 2 of the best graphics cards. Their usage together, however, is not perfect. The power supply was attached very well to the case when I recieved it, and was in perfect physical shape, but there was one small issue...

Cons: So, there's nothing 'wrong' with this combo of PSU and case, as long as you don't mind having the 8-pin power for the motherboard drape over the front of your visiably exposed motherboard. This is easily fixed with an extender and by routing the cable behind the motherboard, but why create a combo that doesn't meld perfectly? small flaw, but hey, thats what should separate the 4 stars from the 5. Good on antec for attaching the psu to the case, now include a nice, three dollar, eight-pin extender and you get your 5th star.

Other Thoughts: Don't let the little flaw of a short cable turn you away, just plan for it. This is the best case for the price range, and you will not regret getting it. Due to its size, working inside this case is amazing, but also know that its size may not fix where you want it, just to remember to pull out a ruler before buying to make sure it will fit where you want it.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case

Pros: Lots of room
Heavy steel
great airflow
watercooling expandability
looks great

Cons: cable management can be a little tough...but that depends a lot on how everything on your mobo pins out and where, so it's still a 5 egg case!
the fan filters are hard to clean because you must take off the case, and then 4 screws per filter!

Other Thoughts: its heavy...but i like that.

3 out of 5 eggsAntec 1200 case

Pros: Well constructed, nice finish, usb ports nicely placed

Cons: Does not cool sufficiently for gaming hardware even with an additional side fan. Dust screens not easily accessible to clean as you have to remove both side panels, loosen drivebay brackets, move each drivebay out, then remove and clean each individual dust screen. They should/could have made a case with one the front frame bracket's moveable to access the screens OR made the screens removeable without spending 10-15 minutes to just get to them. My work enviroment is dusty and I have to clean them at least once a week or it overheats and bluescreens

Other Thoughts: Due to overheating problems, a top mounted PS would be better but that was my poor choice, not the case's.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome Case

Pros: I haved used Antec cases in my last 4 builds. The quality has been awesome. I upgrade PC's about every 9 months. On my next build I do not think I will replace my case. Actually I know I will not, unless Antec has a replacement 1200. I upgraded from the Antec 900 and I am happy I did, the 900 was a great case but I wanted a little more room this go around (water cooling). I am planning to add another 5870 sometime in the next month or so and this case gives me the room. This case and my water cooling setup keeps my temps low on my i7 930 clocked around 4.8 ghz. Keep up the great "QUALITY" Antec. I did not have an issue with my acrylic side panel being scratched it was covered and protected in plastic. Oh and the PSU unit is great ! You really cannot beat this price combo. You get a true 750 psu. Antec makes very high quality PSU. Only ones I have used in the last 3 years = no issues.

Cons: If any well I cant think of any. Some might say the price but I think once you purchase this case it can last you a long time. Probably only needing replaced if you want to not because you need to.

5 out of 5 eggsPlenty of Room

Pros: Lots of room; fan controls on the outside of the case for all 6 external fans (i LOVE that); plenty of bays and expansion slots; built in blue accent lighting; inside painted black; cable management is a cinch (even comes with a few reusable zip ties); tons of airflow at minimal cost to sound (fans running on low or medium is fairly quiet)

Cons: headphone and microphone jacks on the front not labeled at all; not very easy to make additions to the bay area once assembly is done (lots and lots of thumb screws)

Other Thoughts: big and heavy! not really a con but make sure you are aware that this is not going to be an easily portable platform for LAN parties and the like. mine stays at home in my office but if you need something portable, make sure you're willing to carry 50lbs each time you want to move it.

5 out of 5 eggsBig Black and Beautiful

Pros: Comes with six fans installed, 3 120mm intake fans, 2 120mm exhaust and one 200mm top fan. Case is absolutely huge. Had room to licquid cool inside case, or to mount a big air cooler with room to spare. Case has plenty of places to hide wires and make it look neat inside. This is the best full tower I have ever purchased and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of buying one.

Cons: Abolutely zero!!! Some might say price but I think you get what you pay for with this case. I wish mine came with filters for the fans, but they are dirt cheap to buy anyway.

Other Thoughts: I built a q9650 licquid cooled rig and with all the blue lights lighting up the case it makes the uv tubing glow. To the person who took the hose to their case "Are You Mad". Of course you can't take the hose to it. You have to remove the filters and wash them in your sink. Next time you might want to take it to a professional, or at least someone with more common sense than you.

5 out of 5 eggsBest Eva!

Pros: Lots of room.
bottom power supply spot.
9x hard drive bays with three large 120mm fans.
Panted a beautiful black inside and outside.
Very nice not smooth black texture on the outside.
You can turn off the top fan light with a switch.
All fans have a fan speed control.

Cons: Because of the 6 huge fans, there is now a draft in my room.
have to take out 12 screws to put in/ take out one hard drive.

Other Thoughts: My room is now colder due to this case, but that is a very good thing.
I have an internal water cooling on my i5 @ 4.0GHz and the temp dropped 10ºC.

Love this case!

1 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Many good things about this case, if you're looking at it you probably already know. Nice gaming case, lots of fans, controls and filters for dust if you have a dusty room like mine. Good airflow keeps things nice and cool inside.

Cons: Big and heavy but that is to be expected with this type of case.

Other Thoughts: I bought this case and didn't have a chance to use it until a month or so after.

1. The case side panel thumbscrews came stripped.

2. I didn't know until a month later when I built the computer that the power switch did not work.

3. The power supply died within a month.

I asked Newegg about replacement but being after the 30 day mark they told me to contact Antec about it. Antec replaced the case and is about to replace the power supply but they won't cover shipping both ways. I've never had a problem with Antec but I'm guessing that recently their quality has dropped. Someone else on here had a review of the power button not working as well.

Now I have to pay extra for Antec's screw up and lack of quality control. Maybe I'm just unlucky and ended up with TWO defective products from the same manufacturer at the same time.

5 out of 5 eggsCase is not waterproof

Pros: I like the black and blue combo of colors, plenty of room, very pretty at night! I think anyone intrested in excellent cooling will really enjoy this case! This case is very quiet even with all fans on max!

Cons: As mentioned above the case in not waterproof, it seems. After owning the case for about a year I noticed there was alot of dust in the fans, I remebered that it had washable fans so I took it outside to hose the dust out of the fans...and when I come back inside and try to power it up POOF! Needless to say I opened the case up (got shocked) there was water all over everything..I'm afraid everything in the tower is ruined now because the "washable filters" must be removed prior to washing them. This is the first case I've ever had issues with spraying water on it

Other Thoughts: I'm very dispointed/shocked this case was not waterproof. Furthermore when I called Antec about the problem they told me the case was never intended to be hosed off or submerged?? I have the Seal Shield waterproof keyboard and this was going to be great with that setup.

Antec please make a fully submersible gaming case, I think theres certainly a market for it.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case

Pros: By far, the best case I have ever owned. Where to start. Clean design, plenty of fans, plenty of fan speeds (silence vs. cooling hehe) and plenty of hard drive slots.

The front dynamic audio ports and usb slots are great, always using them and the blue LED lighting is awesome at night.

Overall, a great case and I would recommend to anyone. Infact, my uncle will be buying one shortly.

Cons: Shipped with contents inside, my glass wasn't scratched like others though :) Box was a bit beat up, and back corner of case slightly dented, not enough to RMA/return though.

Other Thoughts: Comes with Power Supply pre-installed, ASUS P7P55D fit first time, had to screw in a few additional pegs and I was ready for the other parts.

Running Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156, G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB and HIS Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5.

Pros: It is a good case. I purchased it to house a new i7 build I am doing. For all of the fans 3 in front, 2 in back, 1 fan in the power supply and a hugh big boy on top it is very quite when running.

Cons: When it arrived one of the 120 x 25 triCool blue front case fans was broken and made a racket when it first received power. I contacted Antec right away and was told a new fan was on its way. It never showed up. I tried to contact support again and I was told my case was out of warranty when I had just purchased it from newegg. So I had to send them my invoice e-mail to prove my recent purchase.

Other Thoughts: If you get a case that survives shipping then you should be ok but I dread working with Antec Suport because even after contacting them the first time they act like they never heard of me or the problem. Lame.

Pros: Lot of room. Cool my I7 920 to 50C under load. 750W PS is more than enough for any gamming PC.
Will buy another one for next build.

Cons: None

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case

Pros: Awesome case, tons of room, great cable mgmt, 6 fans stock with the option too add 2 without modding, contrary to other reviews no quality control problems everything was in good working order.

Cons: None worth mentioning

Other Thoughts: Like other reviews state, if you want to hide your 4/8 pin mobo power cord behind the motherboard your going to need an extension, got one here at newegg for 4 bucks.

5 out of 5 eggsJust a Suggestion

Pros: I was thinking about getting another one of these cases to make another machine, however after reading 9/10 reviews that said the case was damaged due to the PSU in side of it, I would just order the case by itself ... I ordered mine before this deal was made and the case came perfectly fine no damage or anything, and all fans worked.

Cons: None

3 out of 5 eggsGreat case, power button not working

Pros: Love the 6 fans. they are very quiet on low speed. When turned up to highest speed, they get noisy but keep things cool! Saves me from buying a cooling unit unless i want to OC to higher than 3.4ghz on Ci 920.

Cons: Probably just me but the power button and front audio jacks do not work. I switched the PSW fire with my RESET wire. I am using the reset buton as the power button, which isn't bad but still, i'd expect the case to work perfectly since it is a new case, hence the 3 eggs. If for somehow I get Antec to contact me, i'll redo the review.

Other Thoughts: Great case anyone who wants a spacious machine with cooling power. Pretty rare to have a fans in the drive bays, intersting idea since the air flow in to HDD Racks and into the machine to give the air to machine as well.

5 out of 5 eggsThis Beast is awesome

Pros: Price, Quality, Looks. I am a big fan of value in quality, and this case has it. Very heavy duty case with loads of cooling and even more room can keep everything you could want/need safe and cool. Plus it is one of the best looking cases available.

Cons: Size could be a issue for some, this thing is big! The amount of info given about the power supply, I had to read through a bunch of reviews b4 I found that is does have 2 pci-e power cables for sli systems.

Other Thoughts: Top of the line case, with all the features and room for demanding systems, and a power supply large enough for almost anything; all for one sweet price. I couldn't be happier.

1 out of 5 eggsAntec 1200

Pros: It has six fans with the option to add one more. They are extremely quite. Was an option that swayed me to this case. With my Cooler Master V-8 installed on a 17 950 and a EVGA classified motherboard, it keeps the temp to around 30 and lower while idle and minor tasks. Have not been able to stretch it out on account of resolving problems with case. Has nice blue leds in fans and accents the case if you like that sort of thing but was not my priority. Also comes with a plexiglass side panel letting you view the inside. This case has a lot of room in it. Was a requirement for me because I wanted to add a good cooler and eventually take part in the SLI 3-way option I have. The front of the case has four bays whereby you could put 12 disk drives or 12 hard drives or any combo you could dream of. Has 2 rubber grommets in back for you guys who like the water coolers but I am still not sure about those things yet. Lastly located to the top front is 1 esata and 2 usb ports. Also headphone jac

Cons: My case arrived with the plexiglass scared but was not that upsetting to me. After building computer, found out that the on/off switch did not work. Most upsetting part was on the phone all day long trying to get customer support to answer their phone. Called so many times that operator wouldn't answer her phone. Was persistent though and at the end of the day when my blood pressure was 999, I believe they finally got the message that I wanted to talk to someone about the bad switch. Talked to a resonably nice fellow and problem was addressed. Don't like the part about having to fix their problem seeing as how much money I paid for the case.

Other Thoughts: This case is on the high end and was terribly disgusted that it arrived in the shape it did. Should have took note of fellow neweggers who quoted the lack of quality control. There are too many other case manufacturers out there to put up with their lack of quality control. I was going to give them two egg rating but after thinking about customer support almost gave me a heart attack, I vote them goose egg. I personally will never buy their poduct again no matter how good it is.

5 out of 5 eggsNot shabby

Pros: Huge, Heavy, Sturdy. All my cables are nice and tucked away. 6 working fans. Easy install. Glad I got it no regrets.

Cons: 2 more USB ports on the front would be a nice update.

Other Thoughts: Had to remove lower rear fan to install MB with a dou orb cpu cooler. Put it on the clear cover mount so still get to use it. DON'T FORGET TO GET EXTENSIONS FOR YOU MOBO POWER LEADS, 8 PIN WAS DEFINITELY TOO SHORT.

4 out of 5 eggsNice Case But...

Pros: Nice case really like the all black look and the multiple settings for the fans is a nice option.

Cons: Power supply died after two weeks of normal operation. Having to daisy chain all the fans together is pain to tie up and hide but not really a con. Wish you could cut off the leds on all the fans.

Other Thoughts: If you have this same problem, don't contact newegg they will what the case and the power supply back. Just contact Antec and RMA the power supply with them. Less hassle then dealing with neweggs stupid policies on replacement. If you sell the case w/o a power supply and you sell the power supply w/o the case then why not just replace the power supply.

4 out of 5 eggsThumbs up

Pros: Tons of room for whatever you want. The case is very sturdy and well thought out. Easy to manage and hide cables. All of the fans keep everything cool and don't forget the pretty blue lights!

Cons: The mobo wire on the power supply is short and barley reaches on my motherboard. The case is very heavy and the fans can be a bit noisy on high. Takes a lot of tools to work with and you have to remove 8 screws just to take out/put in a hard drive.

Other Thoughts: I would recommend buying just the case and getting another power supply. The only con on the case is the drive bays take a bit of work to add swap. But don't let that deter you! Each bay of 3 has its own dedicated fan. The PSU however is more standard. All in all the case is 5/5 eggs the PSU is 3.5/5 eggs. The only reason I bought this combo was because it came with a 1TB hard drive and I already had my own PSU to swap with it.

5 out of 5 eggsMotherBoard wires Are TOO SHORT

Pros: The case is fantastic, and with a deal like this is great but there are a few flaws

Cons: The PSU's Mobo connections are too short, even when you dont hide them from the back. The 20+4 Pin struggles when you try to connected it to the Motherboard, As well as the 4 and 8 Pin wires

My suggestion is to buy an extension, Newegg choose the wrong PSU for this Case for its wire length

Other Thoughts: Its still a good combo but you have to spend a few more bucks for its flaws

5 out of 5 eggsFirst build

Pros: Solid. Looks great. Airflow. Roomy. Easy to clean fan filters. Not as loud as they say at all. Very quiet actually.

Cons: One of the screws broke out of its plastic holder on the outside plastic window. Not a biggie and easily fixed w/ superglue. Everything else was all metal on metal. Wish it were easier to switch the BigBoy fan for a red LED.

Other Thoughts: Very satisfied with this case and what I'll be able to do with it in the future.

5 out of 5 eggsGot it when it was $189

Pros: It is a great case overall, i got it when it was on $189 and it was one hell of a deal.
it has 3 intake fans on front and 1 exhaust on top and 2 exhaust at the back so you are getting the best performance for cooling. With room for up to 9 harddrives you can never run out of space.
it has a space of 11" for those big graphics cards. There's water tube holes for external water cooling systems, and the PSU is mounted on the bottom [which is a plus] And the PSU's 20+4 Pin does reach the motherboard if placed right

What's best is that the PSU is modular [Semi Modular] so it increases air flow

Cons: None, only flaw of the case is the "Non tool-less design" but that isn't a problem for most people

Other Thoughts: this case is mostly for medcore to hardcore gamers since it has a 750 PSU

two PCI-e 6 pins
and
two PCI-e 6+2 Pins

5 out of 5 eggsThe case is the ultimate workhorse

Pros: I just built a second quad core with plans for many drives. I build a 6 harddrive rig in a Lian Li 1200 and I though that it had a nice design until I basically was forced to leave my 750watt supply hanging out the back if I used all the bays. But its the smaller case, even so, I didnt like its compartmentalization.

This case is cheaper that the 1200 and it offers more cooling and better layout for hiding cables behind the mb. I think the people complaining about 2 more fans have issues because this case is a tornado when cranked up.

I love the 3 sets of HD cages, each has an led fan on the font and holds 3 drives in total of 9 of the 12 bays. The top 3 bays have plenty of room for full length devices.

Lots of fan controls front and back, led switches for back and top. Front fans have cleanable filters (like your window air conditioner).

Plenty of space for a 1000W supply. Fits my rosewill fort120 no problem.

Ready for water cooling (but frankly its not worth the

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Make sure you need this much room, the 900 might be a more practical case for some.

BTW I was comparing this to a $300 lianli and Im really glad I went with this one.

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing case

Pros: Where to begin. This is a full ATX tower, so you know you'll be getting a monster. It weighs 40 pounds, so be ready to pick up the box (I wasn't quite expecting the weight, but no matter).

If you're big on aesthetics, this is undoubtedly the case for you. Every pre-installed fan comes with a sweet blue LED light. The main side panel has a huge window, so be sure to set up the guts nice to make it look even better. It comes pre-installed with 5 120mm fans, as well as the big boy 200mm fan at the top of the case. If that many fans still aren't enough for you, there is a space for a 120mm fan on the main panel, as well as a mounting space in the 2nd hard drive cage for an additional 120mm. Each fan also has different levels of speed. The front ones have a nob that turns, and on the back there is a switch for the others.

PLENTY of expansion slots, if you're one of those who like having multiple graphics cards. The 750w PCU should be more than enough to deal with anything you throw at

Cons: I can't think of a single con. When I took it out of the box, the very bottom attached fan was popped out of the case entirely, but with the fan wire still weaved into the case. Not Antec's fault by any means, but if anything I'd place a blame on UPS. The box also had some nicks and holes in it... Case arrived unscratched and undamaged, though so no matter.

It was a bit tricky getting the popped out fan properly placed back in its cage, after a few attempts at clamping it on unsuccessfully, I just unscrewed the whole cage and clamped it, then placed it back in.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Case

Pros: Everything fits, fits my 4 videocards, Love the Top space gives me plenty of room to have the 4 fans on my cpu-heatsink. The Top 240mm is nice if i want to draw all the heat from the bottom straight up. Two rear fans 120mm good air flow on medium. 3front fans. All wires from Powersupply (bottom) have a routing path through a holes in side of case out the side an back in from the side middle top an bottom, It's beatuifuly large case an all my cables hidden. Plenty of space between haddrives an add-on cards. This case can be heavy with a really good PS. PRICE:I paid 179 wooohoo.. Adjustable fan speeds on all FANS. Which can make for a nice quiet case. Setup up was a tad longer than most cases, but It went in so easy I didn't even notice. Everything worked outta box for me.

Cons: Front fans are not moving enough air for me, my opinion. Top 250mm fan when on high sucks the air through the hole case making the rear fans useless just about. Harddrive removal can be a pain(I did not find it hard or a pain). Price 250bucks!!! With all fans on high it's like haveing one Video card with the big air coolers on 85%, can be loud.

Other Thoughts: Price 250bucks!!! I guess its worth, But I'd just go with the other older antec case 900 an so on.
I've had Server Tower case since 1990 an this one is strong an very tall like they use to be. A fold out motherboard tray would be nice to have. No cramming what-so-ever. I have all the room needed for the 3 way an 4 way SLI/Crossfire setups. I like the powersupply on the bottom, I bought an powersupply that goes in a desktop which does not have a fan on the bottom. Could be my flaw but it has a rear fan plulling the cold air from the bottom front fan through the PS. I guess a bottom fan would blow up towards the video cards an help some more. Preference i guess. Temps are good if your room temp is at or below 70F.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Very Good structurally, everything worked great! Power cable for MB was too short to run properly. But did work if ran through middle of case, just as reviews stated, NO BIG DEAL!

Cons: Two fans had popped out of clips during shipping. A little tricky to reinstall. Power supply that came in Pkg. may be a littl light in the loafers, for a case that will handle large scale, BA, System!

Other Thoughts: I LIKE IT!!!

1 out of 5 eggsBad case

Pros: Its really big...on the outside

Cons: I don't like the fact the power supply sits on the bottom of the tower, makes it to where there are cables all over the place especially when connecting all of the fans, it's just one big spider web of cables, not to mention, why the heck should i have to take out 8 finger screws just for a slide out tray that's big and bulky then screw down my actual hard drive, following it off by putting the cage back in its position just to have to replace all 8 thumb screws, i had to do 16 of them seeing is how i have 2 hard drives and i didn't want them making out with each other in the little space they would have in one cage. Lets just say after wards my finger felt like goo. Antec you failed with this model i would suggest a new strategy with this case, it just fails

3 out of 5 eggsNice Case, QC leaves a little to be desired.

Pros: Looks great, nice and big... plenty of space. Haven't started my build yet but looks easy to work with and I love all the fans!

Cons: Was shipped with the PS installed (why?) and done so loosely. During shipping it mangled the mounting hardware, came free and scratched up the plexiglass side plate. It was also missing one of the screws on the plexiglass side plate. Disappointing as now my "new" case is scratched up and has a loose piece of plexi.

Other Thoughts: I'll contact manufacturer, but not much they can do without replacing the unit...
