Antec 1200

Potentially awesome.
Is that a PA160 in the top? Very small barb size, would be really disapointed if you couldn't use something bigger. Not too sure on the top fan cover, looks a it garish for how I'd like it to have been the P182 top is bad enough imo :p

PA120.3, PA120.2 and that rad in the top = fun ;)
 
Whether you like the looks of the NineHundred is purely down to personal taste. I do like the stylings but the 1200 seems more plain to me...not as attractive but definitely massive.
 
This looked to be my next case however they didnt get a good shot of the inside, cos it looks the same length wise as the 900 meaning its not that good for GTXs.

But will see.....

Posted a while back, as usual, little constructive comment and plenty of whining. Personally I think it could be the "new" Stacker.

Dont really see how people can say its ugly or looking rubbish...... Even Anandtech say there 900 is always in there workbench, thats cos its just an excellent case.

3x120 front fans? I think only 2-3 cases offer that sort of cooling power.

Even when I had the Antec 900 I loved it, good solid feel and well built, excellent ventillation my mobo/cpu/ and my GTX stayed cool always... to the point it never revved up and still remained silent with 2x120mm silent fans on front!

Only my Eclipse had one thing better then it and that was the depth/size which made it easier to work with and a joy to build a pc.

My Antec 182 doesnt come close to Antec 900 but it does have more features to boot but I found them nothing working ie sounddampening only the grommets/silicon around parts to help.. apart from that not impressed.

I Cant see the Antec 1200 size one main thing that put me off strongly against the Antec 900 was the size and also the fact the GTX hit the hdd bays almost.

From the poor pictures shown around the webby it looks like they gone taller and no difference inside!

And its late October now and still no release....
 
I like it but too narrow and dust magnet won't need to hoover your room with that lot going.
 
I'm hoping it'll take a nice 120.3 in the front, perhaps even a fully internal dual loop of some description? I've reached the maximum I can get in my A16, i'd been eyeing an old shape stacker for ages but this looks nicer and hopefully about the same price so i'll hold off until it's released.
 
Hex*s got more shots and info, due for mass production soon.. £89retail price.

Ive looked at the shot of the inside and am disapointed its no longer then the 900, looks like its gonna be very cramp inside the case the GTX will proberly hit the hdds again !

So ill avoid this one... still not a bad case at all shame its just not out when I wanted an actual case as in this/next week !
 
Hex*s also got a small update, they show someone from antec discussing there products he clearly says antec 900 is its best selling product in uk, they cant make enuff of them.

They dont mention it but they show some prototype quick shots of the Antec 1200 also, can see the esata port hasnt even been fixed on:)

but still no release of it :(
