Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
This situation has a massive amount of space. The multitude of fans also keeps air moving regularly more than critical heat producing elements. I actually appreciate the all black interior as it shows off all my elements extremely nicely. I also like the dust filters, they supply a clear indication of when it's time to clean out the computer system (which, depending on the traffic in the space the personal computer is in, could be as soon as a week or as soon as each and every other week). I don't like having to get rid of both side panels and 24 thumb screws just do take about 10 seconds cleaning every single filter off. Also, the cutout on the motherboard tray for the CPU back plate could be a bit larger. It would also have been good to have the situation wires wrapped, but that's not actually a CON...

Filters on all fan intakes. External fan speed adjustment. Lots of room to bury cables behind motherboard. Heat is not a issue in this situation. Filters can only be removed by sliding out the bays, so you have to eliminate both side panels, unscrew 4 thumbscrews per bay, then do the exact same in reverse. Would have been better if the filters could have been moved without the bay obtaining to be moved. With a 24" case, it would have been great for some decrease external USB ports. Upgrade from an Antec 900. The 900 is more affordable, but I would acquire this a single before it.

This point is wonderful! It keeps temps incredibly low, its not as well noisy, it has alot of room, the LED's are set at great level (not also bright or too low), the wires for the fans are extended adequate to attain the power provide effortlessly, there are 12 drive bays, fan speed is built into the situation, you can turn off the top fan LED if its annoying you, and the filters are definitly a step forward! and effortless to clean! I would have to say the cons depend on what the purchaser is searching for. If you take your laptop or computer to your buddies property or move it alot, I wouldn't say you really should get this. Rather i would recommend a shuttle, buddy has 1 and his is fairly high powered, but cramped. Other than that this issue is ideal! I wouldn't place the weight as a con since i had no troubles with the weight being young and powerful and all. I truly liked the weight to it, it actually provides it that feeling that it wont fall more than very simple at all. Plus this thing is Quite strong due to the fact its steel and all. I highly recommend this situation!

got this for a make for a christmas present. was searching for anything with sufficient space for fans and a lot of area. this has a lot of area for both and then some. weighs a ton. if you don't mind a heavy situation and want a lot of function space this ones for you.i swapped out all of the fans which took me a small over an hour. lots and lots of screws holding in the fans but nothing at all i would thoughts.

wow,what an outstanding case. there is so considerably room in this case you can fairly significantly put anything you want in it and you`ll under no circumstances run out of area. like the blue led fan lights also. really like the glass door panel, which permits you to see almost everything inside the case. i give this case a (BIG A+) worth every penny!! none!!! i have the ASUS cross hair IV extreme 890fx motherboard,and even when the computer system is off there`s still lights that keep on,on the board,,so awesome to see!!! but even superior when the comp is on. this is a wonderful get and im sure you`ll enjoy it like i do.

Hands down the greatest situation I've ever employed in a create. I'll attempt to list out the PROs:-Strong construction-So quiet I hear my netbook in the subsequent area more than it. -Wide adequate to fit ANY video card/CPU Cooler-Super intelligent cable routing-1Ǚ the price of the closest comparison case I've utilized. None I wish I'd ordered a few more when they had been 贍

This is really an incredible case. It absolutely has much more than sufficient area to fit just about anything you want to stick in it though also getting the capacity for more future expansions. I really like being capable to take the back of the case off and snake my energy cords by way of the back so that they stay hidden and out of sight. Of course the cooling is what a lot of people would be looking at, and I can vouch that it can undoubtedly keep factors inside cool, even though getting a great blue glow with the lit up fans. Worth the funds! The prime LED's on the major fan can be turned on or off, but the other 5 fans are constantly on and I wish you could have the solution to turn them on or off as effectively.The only other con would be that if you choose to turn all 6 main fans on full, it can be rather loud, on the other hand I have not required to do this, but if for some purpose an individual demands them all on complete, it is noisy! More LED colors and option to turn all LED's on or off.

case is amazing so much air flow its coming out cooler than the room itself and has all the space u will need an much more, the bottom mount for energy provide is also good its outta the way an has an exhaust fan proper above, very cool ? get one

i did allot of study b4 purchasing this situation. the hype is actual appear at the evaluations. This case is enormous, if dwarfs my old total tower. u can get the corsair 750 non modular and route all the cables behind mobo tray for a clean look. situation is Extremely sturdy and properly produced. i almost paid two bills for the HAF with no air filters had to rearrange to make area for it the major boy 200mm fan is over 7''

Large, spacious, heavy, air filters, plenty of space. Speed handle fans, 5 bigs fans, then one ceiling fan on it to boot. I just required more space for my personal computer as my old situation although alright just was to small, so I went and bought this massive case and when I say major I mean it, there is no if ands or buts, unless you have ever noticed a single of these it is just impossible to grasp ones thoughts how substantial this situation is. The box it comes in would be suitable for a 30+ inch tv, it has plenty of extra screws for any you may well have lost in prior upgrades, like me. Like all ungrateful technologies I purchase, it refuses to cook, tuck me in at night, and clean for the most component, it does get some dust off the ground so I guess there is that. This case is going to be utilised to house my coming upgrades on my ageing pc.

Extremely tall, and sufficient fans to cool off the entire situation, my typical temp. is 22. Not loud unless you like the fans on high. No dust gets caught on the mesh, but it has air filters for the dust that tries to get to the fan and go inside the situation. I really like it, and i am happy As i said it is tall and make confident you have lengthy sufficient cords for your psu. The place to hide your wires is a little little but it will do. Demands to be thicker and a tiny longer. Other than that it is a great case.

Incredibly massive. Regardless of it's size, it's not as heavy as you would consider. Wonderful construction and wonderful choice of materials. Plenty of air flow. If you overheat with this situation, you're undertaking anything incorrect. Excellent cable management tends to make for a incredibly clean look. The Coolermaster V8 produced the fan choice on the side panel entirely useless. The clearance is very modest. This might not be the situation's fault, but the reality that you can't appropriately eliminate the plastic cover with the molded fan size and clips is really disappointing. I can't show off the V8 as well as I could. The mounting holes on the SSD bracket for the "OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTX160G two.five" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)" did not align perfectly with the mounting holes on the case. They should give a plain plastic cover to replace if you do not want the side panel fan.

The great: The case is well designed, the screw holes line up where essential. The edges are smooth so you wont cut your self! This tower was in a position to preserve my i7-950 3.06ghz intel processor cooled along with three graphics cards, 2 SLI'd Geforce 480 fermis and 1 geforce 9800 GTS (physx mode) I then upgraded to water cooling on my video cards mainly because the fans had been to loud at 100% usage. I set the fan settings to run at 100% if the cards got to 65 degrees celsius. The water cooling remedy worked quickly for this case, due to the fact they have two holes in the back for the hoses. I was in a position to mount the radiator on the back of the case more than the two exhaust fans. The radiator had screw holes that appeared to line up to the fan screws. I was in a position to eliminate 4 fan screws and employed longer screws to mount the radiator and fans with thoseI was in a position to maintain the case clean of wires since their are holes cut out for cable management. I basically just took the left cover off and tucked the cables away. The not so good: I like that is makes use of air filters, but in order to clean them, you have to open up each sides of the case to take away the drive bay screws Ƙ per drive bay * 3 drive bays) in order to push the drive bays out the front of the case to remove the filter (see picture provided with newegg.)I like the fact it has so many fans, but not all fans are on switches to asjust the speeds. This is not a big deal, but it wouldn't hurt to have added that function. It does incorporate fan speeds for the best fan and the two back exhaust fans. I have utilized this case for more than six months now and am able to explain the excellent and the bad.

This factor is Huge. You could fit a modest kid in it. Lots of fans, filters are actually nice.A thing I would very advocate... If you are working with only one DVD-RW or Blu-Ray drive, move the front fans+drive mounting bays UP to fill in the gaps. This positioned then front intake fans straight across all components of my mobo, really decreasing the case's temp about 2-three degrees. A simple mod, with good advantages. None so far. Pricey, but you most certainly pay for what you get, and this is no exception. This must include yet another LED fan, or at least a non-led fan for the side panel. Ended up having to obtain a fan for it... Worth it although, blows directly on to my stock cooled, more than clocked 5870 and noticeably reduces temperatures of it.

This case is amazing! I have had it for two years now and there are no regrets. None! I replaced a Thermaltake Armor case right after 1 year from the original create because it didn't maintain things cool, in particular in the summer. I had to turn on an extra external fan blowing on that case.Tons of airflow. And the fans are adjustable. I live in the cold Northern portion of the country so my office temp fluctuates with the seasons. In the winter I can turn the fans down to minimum speeds and it still keeps everything incredibly cool. In the summer, just turn the fans up and it keeps temps under control.The parts listed below are a recent motherboard/cpu/memory upgrade. None truly. Just a minor anoyance....would be good to have the space behind the motherboard tray be just a touch wider. When stacks of fan connectors are connected together, it is just a little as well thick for the space and bows the back panel out a bit. Like I mentioned, just a minor problem.

Words can not describe how awesome this case is. Just the great quantity of cooling this case delivers overall is amazing. Compared to my old case, with normal air cooling my gtx 285 went from 80C to now 50-55C while playing games. Thats a Big difference for just swapping cases.Not to mention all the space this case adds. I cant say something negative about this case simply because its so good. If your home is dusty, be prepared to clean the filters alot! Not a con for the case, its a con for living in a dusty residence!

TALL AND Great BUILT CASE-ANTEC Instances ARE BUILT Really Very good-Excellent Top quality FOR THIS Create-I Believed I WOULD Try THIS TALLER CASEi have bought antec prior to.w-wanted additional room-at the lower finish of mother board.well..there is none.they fixed it-so the mother board.is proper down on leading of the power supply-massive gap at leading of case.how stupid this could of been a gamers dream case.if mother board.mounted larger up-exactly where it should be

look nice, ton of room to operate with. come with 6 fans with control. the xfx 5830 card and Zalman CNPS9900LED CPU fan, they each fit in nice. too heavy when completely loaded. no switch for the led light for 5 of the fans.

Comes with all the fans you'd ever will need + simple to clean filters created out of plastic so they don't degrade over time. Challenging drive cages make putting in new drives a lot less difficult and permit straightforward access to front fan filters. All fans have controls; the two back fans and the leading fan have three-speed controls whilst the front fans are potentiometer controlled. Antec has given ample quantity of space to organize and route cords behind the motherboard with access ports proper exactly where you want them. The place of the fan controls are not convient, requiring some work to come across them and adjust them to the speed you need (unless you use a 5.25 fan controller in the front).This case I would not recommend for internal water cooling as the space is restricted and calls for some modification to the major panel cover to permit a dual 120 radiator to fit mounted on the back two fans. If you do go internal water cooling I highly recommend acquiring a 5.25 bay resivior considering that space is restricted. My water cooling setup: Back case fans have a dual 120 rad mounted on them with two far more 120mm fans on the other side of the rad; CPU water block; GPU water block; pump/resivior combo sitting on the bottom/inside of the case.

I have built THOUSANDS of PCs and Servers in my life ྮ years in IT) and this case is the nicest case i've ever worked with (except for some Authentic high end servers).it is sturdy, easy to wire, you can fit anything into it. In truth I wan to meet the guy to ran out of space in it, this case is a beast!I can't say enough about this. Go Antec!but I would appreciate to be in a position to turn off ALL the lights. :) 2 days soon after I bought it, the value dropped ๑ (black friday). I talked to NewEgg and they gave me a ๑ gift card. Amazing service NewEgg, you virtually usually look out for your prospects. I say nearly since I am waiting to hear back from a different rep who might not share the 'lets be great to our clients' philosophy. I'll update this following resolution.

I just put every little thing together and I should say this case is quite big, I was in a position to fit almost everything in fairly quickly. Excellent design overall and it was fairly uncomplicated to put in every little thing I required to. Not necessarilily a Con but I believe a pull out tray for this type of design need to be implemented for the motherboard and also optional snap in drive bays. Implementing these would make this case killer! The other issue I sort of had was putting in power supply, not all of the holes fit but I could nevertheless get it in securly. The other concern also being how far apart some of the optical drives are from the power supply. This case really should also have in it a type power strip that would connect the power provide for all of the drives if required. My final case also had this and it was a mid tower. Overall fantastic case, a definite suggest to invest in for any gamer that will go from air cooling to water cooling. Aside from the advised additions I am pretty satisfied I purchased this item.

Massive case. Modular in each sense of the word. Straightforward to route cables behind mono. The three pods on the front have a fan on each and every. Based on the number of drives you have, this may well remove the will need for an HDD coolerCase supports utilizing a liquid cooling rig Enormous case. Could be an concern for some individuals, but this is a non-issue for me.Be wary of the dimensions should you program to put in a desk cabinet The plugs for the fans could be merged into a single circuit. Not a big deal, but it would remove "cable clutter". On/off capability for all the fan LEDs would be brilliant

I enjoy this case.Massive: Huge adequate to fit my Radeon 5850, and nevertheless adequate area to fit larger cards, (although you may well run into an HDD cage, but there are plenty of those!), and has superb crossfire capability. Expandable: Up 12 five.25" bays, and up to 9 three.5" bays. I do think I have sufficient space for the future.Area for Crossfire, and apparently water cooling as properly.Cooling: 6 Fans general, a single getting 200mm. Space for a side 120mm fan. Looks. Looks wonderful next to my desk, Blue LEDs and all. The window is an exceptional add on when you wish to show off your personal computer.Tool-less design, my Disk drives and HDDs aren't rattling about. Though could grow to be annoying if you like to be swift with finding tune-ups done, nevertheless, I am not, and glad knowing my hardware is secure.All about incredible, will advised this to my friends when they decide to construct their personal Pc Largely nitpicking, but worth mentioning.Cable Management could be a little better. I am making use of a Corsair non-modular power supply. It has really, very extended cables with plenty of connections. These were rather difficult to fit behind the motherboard tray, but I got it sooner or later.Could be a challenge if you have a million cables that need to have to be hidden.Certainly Huge! I knew this before purchasing, but I could not fit it beneath my desk, but I am using a wimpy desk, and I don't mind staring into it's window to appear at my construct. I have never ever applied a Full tower case, and you'll be shocked at how big it is. It's also very heavy, even when empty. Throw a few HDDs, PSU and some other hardware, you're reaching the 50lb mark. Not for toting to LAN parties.Can't turn off all the LEDs? I have to think seriously tough to discover cons for this beast, I completely adore it. I purchased this for my first ever develop, and I genuinely glad I did. It's definitely brilliant. Fantastic Cooling, Huge, and quite great searching. I plan on utilizing this case for years to come.
