It's supposed to have provisions to make the fitting of watercooling equipment easier, what that means though, I've no idea, however, if it's cheap like the 900 then it COULD be a good budget case for WCing, I don't think it's particularly ugly tbh, still, each to their own.

It seems to have 12 5.25 bays so that means it'd potentially take a 120.3 in the front.

as far as i can tell it has a rad in the roof, see the pipes coming down?
 
Yep, looks like a 120.1. I'd still like to see if a 120.3 would fit, enough space for a dual loop perhaps? There's not that many budget cases out there that'll take a 120.3 internally and look ok(ish), plus I think it's better looking than the old Stackers, be interesting to see a review...

Having owned a P180 I found it a vastly overrated case, both in terms of noise reduction, build quality and asthetics, as my girlfriend once commented, it looked like a fridge. :p I'm certainly not saying this case is a real beauty but it's certainly no worse than a P180.

thats is not 120.1, i wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt a custom 240/250 or something
 
its a 200mm top fan, and the option of a 200mm side fan as well :eek:

Also on display was the upcoming Antec Twelve Hundred. This case will come out in two models: one with support for water cooling, and one without. Both will come equipped with 12 5.25" bays capable of accommodating hard drives, a 200mm top fan (and an optional 200mm fan port on the side of the case), and an interchangeable rubber mat at the top—a finishing touch for users who like to leave gadgets or loose change on top of their PC.

The bit-tech article says that Antec are open to opinions with regards to features etc. The radiators a 200mm unit and has just been put there as a mockup/point of discussion. There'll be two versions, one for water and one for air, link

You've made your point :P

I'm indifferent to this one. It's alright. Not totally ugly but not the nicest either. I'm using the P180, I don't really think of it as a fridge though. But then I cant think of any cases more boring than the Lian Li range so i suppose there's no telling other people what is nice and what isn't.

I think i'd head for a stacker over this. Maybe an Armor. Anyone know what sort of price range this is aimed at?
