Quick decision needed, Antec 900 or 1200?

Vegeta · 24 Sep 2008 at 20:21

Hi, i'm buying either one of these here tomorrow with a Scythe Kaze-Master 5.25" Fan Controller - Black and was wondering what are your opinions?

For some reason I prefer the Antec 900 I know its the lower model but that case I think just looks nicer, however I do like the fact the 1200 has better cooling and black insides, convince me to buy the 1200 lol.

the 1200 has dust filters and a cable management area whilst the 900 doesn't =) the 1200 also has bigger fans as well as its increased size

Actually just seen the price of the 1200 lol and I thought it was £100 inc vat, been priced out unfortunately.

Ive got a 900, wouldve got the 1200 but the price was a lot more than it is now. I'd recommend the 1200, the amount of dust my 900 had after 1 month was amazing, but its to be expected with a case with so many fans. Fitted some tights to filter the front fans now, easy fix but i expect it to be a pita to clean in a month or two.

It was £105 including VAT but it's gone up in price by around £18...along with the price of the Q9550, graphics cards and the memory I was going to get. Am not a happy bunny.

I'm still getting the Antec 1200 @ £105 inc vat.

Check again mate, not including VAT it's now £104.99 and including VAT it's now £123.36.

Looks far too simple and cheap, ended up being a Lian Li

Not really.... Theres a reason why its £35 and it's not because they made a really high quality product with high quality bits to sell it for much less than what it's worth for the crack

Get the 900! It's not too big and look's nice.

The Antec 900 isn't too bad, just a bit cramped

That was my original plan, but I decided on the Lian Li A07 instead with a Scythe Kama bay at the front and I will git the 80mm exhaust fan at the top, worse airflow I know but it looks great if you ask me

Get the 1200. I'm glad i did. Loads of room inside and brilliant cooling too.
The dust filters do a great job and are easy to remove and clean.
Highly recommended.
