Antec 1200 at Computex

By the looks of it I quite like how they've handled the cable management. Put the cable ties at the back of the mobo tray and the holes there into my Lian-Li and I'd be happy. I just don't like the look of that case, although I'd rather that than a 900 imo.

for the record: 'better cooling' does not always mean which developer has crammed in the most 120m fans on to the front and rear of the case. thats not good cooling manegment. it's the by hook or by crook attempt. maybe if antec designed their cases, and the internel airflow of said cases better (akin to lian li) they wouldnt need to have 5 120mm fans, and 2 200mm fans :rolleyes:

I didnt say or suggest the more fans the better, simply that Id bet the Antec 1200 would have better cooling then my current Lian Li case.

Negative/positive air pressure does factor in im aware of that also, from my experience I do tend to prefer Cases with front 120mm fans I belive they offer good airflow across the board/components which my antec 900 use to do very well in fact only needed 2 120mm quiet fans.

As long as you have the right balance with air pressure within an Case you should get some good temps :)
 
I don't know why so many people are so critical of a case that they'll never buy. It's the same with cars, shows like Pimp My Ride design arguably tasteless, OTT make-overs for Ford Fiesta's and the like but they're catering to a certain market. Everyone else happily buys their overpriced BMW's and the world keeps spinning.

The point is that these types of cases will always exist. You should criticise a case based on build quality and percieved tackyness, not on whether you like the aesthetic. Antec 900's are very built for the price; they are solid and have good features. I don't like Thermaltakes but that's because they are flimsy and include un-necessary plastic bits in the wrong places.

If you don't like how this case looks, then stick to buying your Lian Li's. Just please quit with these boring negative, flippant comments which make up half of this thread. I want to learn something about this case, not read the world and his wife's opinion on how it looks.

Agreed, too many threads on this forum get trashed by people's negative comments, try to keep it constructive please. :)

Yes, but once one person's said it, it starts to grate. And anyway, it's not that ugly, I think it looks quite smart, and its better designed internally than most cases, and I don't see what's so commendable about Lian Li designs anyway, it's hardly difficult to make something in the shape of a box. At least Silverstone can add a bit of flare to their exteriors. This Antec case only gets the attention that its getting atm because the 900 sold so well, so obviously people like it and it does the job.
 
I loved my Antec 900, so solid and well constructed and the best cooling ive ever had... obviously it had some major flaws but none the less out of Eclipse62/antec 900/antec 182/Lian lis ive had in the last 2 years the Antec 900 still falls pretty well.
 
im an adult, not a kid. hell my ultiamte choice would be the p182 gun metal case with a black interior (ie p182SE) with super p182 cable management and a window. this come close in most of those catagories :)
