Almost time for a new build and I would fancy a replacment for my early version antec 1200. I don't mind the noise of the case, everything on mine is stock and the only thing I find irritating on it is the cleaning of filters and pain in the **** to change over HDD. I would probably have stuck with it but the power button on mine is dead and I have to use the reset button now instead.

The depth of the 1200 is 513mm and I really don't want or need to go bigger than that or it will protrude from under my desk.

Any good cases I should be looking at with easy cleaning of filters and swapping of HDD's quickly and without tools?

Well i'm replacing mine with an antec p380 which has similar dimensions (bit shorter, but wider, same depth W: 224mm H: 555mm D: 557mm)

However it does have crap front filter placement (have to turn the case on it's back to get it out, bottom filter is smart and can be removed from either side of the case)

Though if you're not fussed about noise then the phanteks enthoo luxe is a good substitute but I couldn't stand the thing after moving from the antec to it (I had lived with a temporary build in an R4 case)

Tell you what I can do some comparison shots for you tomorrow when the thing turns up and you can see what it's like compared to the 1200
