*Official* Antec 1200 Case's,Builds,Modifications & FAQ's

you need to sort the date on your camera then cos it says it was taken 19.08.2004, unless you're some sort of time traveller? :eek:

EDIT : and you should clean your room as well cos for two weeks thats a hell of a dirt collection on your front fans

Im a time Traveller ;) , nah got the camera from my uncle was his old one, I never botherd with setting it up properly as it is a bit crap. I've changed the date now :)

Yeah was thinking thats quite a lot of dust for such a short time period, my rooms not that bad actually, I've just never been great on the dusting front :(
 
I'm thinking of buying one of them corsair H50 for my i7 @ 4GHz coolers but I don't want the rad to be exhausting hot air out of the case because I want to have cooler temps than what I currently have. So I plan to stick the rad to the front of the case but behind the 3 intake fans. I remember I got an additional fan bracket for extra cooling of hard drives and I was going to use this to hold the rad in place. However there is a problem, I'm not going to buy the cooler and then figure out it doesn't fit and then i've wasted 60 quid. Could someone who has these two parts confim this is possible.
 
Some Great builds in here :D:D


Just bought this case with the H50 cooler and was wondering what would be the best place to mount the radiator. Am using the antec tricool fans except on the radiator in which will be 2x xigmatek fans in push/pull config.


Any help appreciated
 
Does anyone know if its possible to remove the big boy fan at the top of the case for modding or replacement purposes?
 
Does anyone know of a guide? I was given the link to a youtube vid which showed the LED's being replaced but neglected to shed light on removing and remounting the fan
 
anyone tried using a red theme on their antec?
like replaced all the blue fans for red and red liquid for the water cooling
maybe its been done i just havent seen it yet.
im looking for a new case but it seems most of them have blue lighting.
 
Miffy I dont have the link anymore but the guy on the you tube video had replaced all LED's with Alien Green....
 
I know this is an old thread but really like some of the work done on the 1200's :)
I'm about to watercool my 1200 and don't know whether to go for a triple rad in the front or 2 x double rads, hmmmm

Does anyone have any pics of a 1200 with multiple double rads?

Heres mine as it stands at the moment...

Just been having a look at some cases and this one appeals to me the most. Will be ordering one this week hopefully, looks awesome. :)

All fans set on low with possibly a side fan and a fan blowing onto the gfx card should lower my case and cpu temps. Would also like a nice fan controller to match, any recommendations?

Would I need extension cables for my PSU and if so, which ones? Had my PSU for quite afew years now, I may go for an upgrade, whats the best option at around £60-£70?
 
ctunnicliffe01 do you have some sort of blue led / cathode in the HDD bays ? that is super bright compared to mine, so im assuming you do
 
2 cathode lights are facing each other just behind the window. There mounted vertial in about the only place you can get them. They are very bright but work great. I need to sort out some braiding soon and a tidy a few things up. but overall im happy :) If i get chance ill take a pic !
 
will be getting this case for my new build next week, quick question are the case fans 4 pin passthrough connectors or will I need to grab a splitter?
