Antec 902 vs Antec 1200...

Michaeljcox24 · 8 Dec 2010 at 17:39

the 1200 is going for a very good price on OC UK at the mo, but I already have a 902...

Worth the upgrade? Larger case looks nicer right?

Im just worried the leads on my PSU wont stretch to the top (in particular the ATX 12V)

Would touch either tbh much better cases out there now adays. When they were released they had the market very much down to a tee but nearly every other manufacturer out there now has bettered it.

I had a 900 that I ditched about a year ago....I now find them completely basic and generally quite ugly and lacking in so many features that are now standard

Ok lads can you recommend me a big case sort of size of the 1200 with just as good airflow?

I've read 800D doesn't cool as well as the 902 on air, and is only really suitable for water.

Antec 902 is a good case. You should keep the case if your components are fine in it. Antec 1200 is a larger version with 3 more 5.25inch drive bays, 1 additional exhaust and intake fan compared to 902.

The next real step up from your case, in my view, is the HAF X. I would just keep the current case, though its your decision!
