Antec 1200 case

[shabby]

If you love the antec 900 and watercooling, you'll love the antec 1200.
Check out the massive 200mm(?) rad, capacity wise its only 7% smaller then a 120x3 rad.

Website is in french but it seems to talk about dust filters, something the 900 didnt have. And the rad seems to be optional.

Not to bad. I hate the 900 because it is to small for what it is.

This one looks promising, well not the water cooling... Just the case.

Sweet!!! :thumbsup:

Is it just taller, or is it deeper too as that is what the 900 (and all the midtower, stacker-style cases need - more depth). I hope Antec doesn't make the radiator standard equipment as almost no one needs WC. At least with the rad, the top mounted fan has a reason to exist. Top mounted fans are superfluous for most cases.

.bh.

Hahahahahaha. These new case designs get dumber with every revision.

Very nice looking. My 900 is too cramped and attracts way too much dust. Is the 1200 out yet? Can anyone recommend a case with just as good cooling that wont attract so much dust?

Holy fan tower.

EDIT: Can't say I'm a fan of that glowing blue light thing. If they offered a 1200 with black or orange fans (blades and ducts, no lights).. maybe

Well, they are just normal 120mm fans, if you found some 120mm orange fans, i don't see why you couldn't just replace them all.

Zahriya: Silverstone TJ07. Anyways, looks like all they did is make the 900 taller. I like taller, but also plenty of depth. Glad I didnt hold out for this like I was going to.

Edit: double post.

The radiator on the top looks bigger than the 120mm fans, I hope it's not a 200mm radiator made just for this case... that probably means it will be a shitty alluminum one.
I liked my antec 900, but it had flaws. This doesn't seem to have fixed any of the things I didn't like other than space and (possibly) fan filters.

With some time and patience, one can watercool the 900

Antec 900 Watercooled, EVGA680i SLI, EVGA8800GTX, E6850, 4GB Firestix, XiFi, 2x74GB Raptors, SammySata DVD, Cooling by Swiftech

This is my first watercooled rig. All is overclocked and temps are as follows under full load

CPU=52
Northy=42
GPU=52

I paid $79 shipped for the case from outpost

That 1200 is to tall but I like it

 

[LOUISSSSS]

seems like thats all antec has been doing in terms of larger cases. p180 -> p182 -> p190 all generally the same case 900 -> 1200 same story

 

[bigpow]

super-size it!


Is it for server?
I would never need something that large.
For my purpose, small is beautiful.
