Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
Huge, lots of fans, LEDs, wire management, solid. Addendum to manual shows how to mount two.5" SSD to inside base of case with four rubber grommets (which I used). A single side panel screw hole was misaligned. Front fan filters are on two bays. But air intake is by way of all front bays. And the rest only have a very large metal screen - not filters. And side panel has big open screen for intake without having filter. So the two filters seriously don't do substantially. No leads for Chassis Fan (CHA_FAN) connects on motherboard so all chassis fan manage is manually switched on back of case (no software package control).

Space (thing's big), cable management, fans, fan controls, eSATA front port and internal cable, looks, extra fan slots, built like a tank, cheaper than pretty significantly something in the very same top quality range. This and the Nine Hundred will be my go-to case selections for future builds. Size could be a difficulty for some. Not for me, put it next to my desk and it looks good. This thing is wonderful! Fits every little thing I have easily and looks great performing it. eSATA port on the front is wonderful, no a lot more adding a slot eSATA port to the back and then routing a cable in. The fans keep everything in my system a chilly 87 degrees max on low speed. I've added two fans to the extra spaces and it is superior than I expected. Read on one review that it's not wide enough for some graphics cards, but that's bull. It's wide, tall, and lengthy enough to fit everything you've got. Ordered from Newegg on Monday, standard shipping, got to my house at 7ᛆ Tuesday, so props to Newegg for that.- Antec Twelve Hundred- AMD Phenom II x6 3.two GHz (not OC'd but)- G.

Don't know yet. Mangled beyond use. This thing should have fallen from ten+ feet! The corner of the box was crumpled like the front of a compact automobile. Plastic bits and the tabs the really should hold the front fans/cages on were falling out as I removed it. The bottom front corner plastic was totally smashed, so challenging that the removable side was bent and no longer fit correctly on the case. Finally, the fall was so challenging that the case was no longer square. It had to have been twisted at least 10-15 degrees and would not sit level on the ground. I will give props to newegg for putting another in the mail right now, without waiting for the return. And the return label was currently paid for. I'll do one more review when I get a usable case.

Wonderful case with lots of airflow and fans. The intake fans have filters which I Adore!!! The case is Big with lots of space and suits my laptop perfectly. Best case i have had. Have to be sure to wipe of filters every when in a even though to guarantee maximum airflow. But it is easy to take them out.

Roomy alot of space adore the cable organizer none wish it had removible motherboard and my ATI Radeon HD5970 practically didnt fit had to angle it in

Comment:
- Enormous- Room for every thing. Fits my gtx570 with no troubles- Can mount the optional side fan with a Zalman CPNS9900 Max CPU cooler. Tight fit, but fits- Really quiet when all fans are running at low speed. Can hear my mouse click more than the noise of the case fans- Separate controls for every single fan. Max for gaming, min for surfing net, and so on- Tons of drive bays- Space behind motherboard to route cabling. No messy cables showing in clear window. I use a modular PSU- No need to have to ever obtain a different case once more. Solid develop materials.- Keeps almost everything super cool. Can run i7-2600k @ 4.5GHz simple cheezy. - Huge- Does not fit in most desk pc compartments. Have to use under desk- As tall as a two year old toddler- Loud when all fans are turned to max speed Best case I have ever owned. I have the original Antec Sonata as well and its held up for more than 7 years. This case will last as lengthy or longer. Just get it if you are making a gaming computer system. Don't even appear at the DF-85.

It has filters on the intake fans.It has a lot of fans and I can add additional.Lots of space.It has uncomplicated to use fan speed switches/knobs for all the stock fans.I like the blue lights and they are not blinding :PI routed the cables behind the mobo with my Antec Truepower 750W and it looks great.Its like a wind tunnel. You cant turn off all the lights only the top 1. My build.i7 950ASUS Rampage III FormulaCorsair Dominator 1600mhzGTX 285Antec Truepower New 750WAntec 1200750GB 7200RPM 32MB Hard Drive

-Hands down, 12 expansion bays = love!-Love the 6 fans with LEDs! -Adore the removable 3 x 3 HDD bays-Dig the fan controllers-It's a tank, extremely sturdy -Heavyyyyyy, couple it with a CP1000 power provide and it alone is heavier than most men and women will ever want to move.Throw some HDDs in there and forget it, go get a little red wagon.-Way too much removable hardware required to access HDD bays (thumbscrews x 8 on both sides) just to remove three x 3 bay.-There is an outstanding lack of room to make use of all of the touted cable management. We're talking a half an inch so all of your cables had far better not be laying on leading of each other.

Comment:
I underestimated it's size, but it is effectively worth it. Air filters are a large plus. Built in cable management in mind is a excellent factor for additional eggs. Great job Antec on a great product. None. The air filters are a shining feature, along with the air flow.

Like most other reviews have stated, this case is a MONSTER. You will fit everything you have into this factor, plus a small puppy (although I don't recommend putting a puppy in there).It has 6 fans pre-installed. Six. FREAKING. Fans, with one of them getting the huge boy 200mm on top. Plus there's room to fit two far more. Its like the Arctic inside, and it will laugh at you if you even dare to overheat something due to the fact of the excellent airflow. Plus they're all individually controlled.What are cords? The back panel comes off so you route them all behind the Mobo, clearing the region in behind the plexiglass window, so you can stare in your achievement of the rig you assembled in this case.Gonna put a smaller PSU in here? NOPE. To totally take benefit of the case, make positive your energy cords are Extended so they can reach all the way by means of the case to exactly where they need to have to go.Most instances hold 3 or four hard drives. The Antec 1200 spits in their faces. TWELVE BAYS. That's clinically insane A few too quite a few thumbscrews. If I need to have to take out the fans to clean the dust grates, you need to have to get rid of 4 on every side, for 3 fans for 24 SCREWS just to wash them.From the moment you get the box, you'll notice it's excruciatingly heavy at 37 pounds. Hope you don't like traveling with your PC.Once more, make sure your PSU cords are lengthy enough to reach every little thing, particularly if you want to go behind the Mobo.Front panel is UGLY. Could have accomplished greater than the flat face and plastic front controls This is the last case you'll ever require

Awesome BIG tower. Very reliable and well built. Great design and strong. After 1 year, everything works great, the leds are still glowing the inside to give this awesome picture look. Lots of space for everything and to make some upgrades. Like it better with a full tower instead of a mid tower, more space to works in the tower. Great product, would buy again.

Comment:
This case has just about everything you could want or want. I actually liked that I could guide the cables and wires throught the back side of the case and how simple the drive bays come out in the front. It also just looks cool and intimadating. Not genuinely a con but the price is rather high, but as usual you get what you pay for. Nonetheless shipped on time regardless of the blizzard that came via this week. Newegg rocks!

I'm a very first-time builder, and prioritized for reliability and ease of assembly.This case worked perfectly out of the box, no tweaks or adjustments required. I couldn't be happier with it.If it provides me trouble down the road I'll come back and amend this assessment. Otherwise it's still going powerful. None. This system was uncomplicated for a beginner to assemble appropriately.

Roomy, well built I installed a Silverstone PSU into my old Antec case with no trouble whatsoever. The screws on the PSU lined up perfectly with the default screw holes and it was so easy. This time, the Thermaltake 1200 DOES NOT line up perfectly and I cannot get it installed effectively but. Seeking guidance at the official Thermaltake forums correct now. It would be nice if Antec actually read this post and saw this problem. A PSU installation need to be really simple.

This case has a lot of room, no problem with video cards and aftermarket CPU cooler. The cable management is excellent, my construct looks quite clean. The variable speed fans function well, when adjusted for average use the case is quite quiet.It is nice that the case is prepared far more mounting a SSD. The SSD sits nicely in view by means of the side panel.This is a great good quality case that looks fantastic! None Right after reading numerous reviews I went with this case. It has met every single expectation I had.

Comment:
TOUGH.Huge.Attractive.NO tool-less c rap every thing bolts together...good.Not as heavy as I expected.Packaging is good and supplies a secure location for the case to rest. Perhaps the reality that it does not come with a side fan....It comes with five 120mm's and 1 200mm so I cant actually complain. Excellent case. I take into account this case for an individual who appreciates a properly built item. This case is built like a muscle auto from the 60's, strong. No plastic c rap, tool-less attributes or any other low cost things that could break.

I bought 1 of these, and then i bought one more, that ought to about wrap it up. But just incase it doesn't, The removable dust filters are a life saver, i have 9 120MM fans operating air through this thing and it's got a vacuum cleaner suction in the front, a peice of paper will stick to it, the filter collects enough dust in three months to draw in it. Mostly mainly because we have new carpet. Better in a filter than my 5970. It's big, optimally, you need to set this up on a table and off the floor, otherwise you will have every thing in it from the floor in a month. I'm waiting on the Antec 1500 case, with all 240MM fans or some thing lol. Antec = Quality.

Comment:
tons of fans/space/amazing airflow the only bad factor is that you have to get rid of all the front screws in order to clean air filters. Not a massive deal although. I appreciate this case, its massive and has incredible airflow.

Comment:
This case is Wonderful! It's extra strong, fantastic airflow, and additional heavy. It can hold it's own. Tons of space, even for a GTX 295. Fans in the front have filters on them for effortless cleaning. Case works out truly nicely..\ None really. Had a difficulty with the energy button, but more on that in a sec.Leading fan is a little hard to clean at times, if you don't take everything out of the case. Then once again, I have a Zalman fan poking through half the case as effectively. The power button was faulty when I initially got it. If I slapped the case, it would turn on/off, depending on the state it was in. A speedy email more than to Antec and they sent out a new switch. It got here fairly quick, cost-free of charge, and It's worked perfectly considering that then.

Almost everything None

Awesome case with plenty of room and airflow.Has enough room so your machine is completely upgradable. was kind of upset to discover out what looked like a fan in the side panel was genuinely only a vent. If a fan were there it would be blowing straight onto the motherboard and video card. Is there a way to acquire a fan for that spot in the door and install it?

Comment:
Lots of small issues that make this case nicer than my 900, like the fan controls being built in to the outside of the case to the way you can cable manage between the wall the motherboard bolts to and the other door. Two things1. They could have set the case up to you could screw the difficult drives in with out pulling the bays out of the case.two. The hole behind the motherboard that provides you access to put the CPU heat sink on could have been a little larger. (it barely accommodated the stock bracket that came with the i7-970, on a gigabyte x58a-ud3r) I ran out of room with my Antec 900 (which I really like) so this was a logical option for my new pc. Over all extremely happy with my choice. On a side note I discovered the SSD mounting setup a small strange, I ended up just using the bracket that came with my Intel drive to accommodate a standard 3.5 drive bay.

Comment:
Tons and tons of space, every thing fit easily. I strategy on performing an SLI setup ultimately and I'm sure I'll have plenty of room left over right after that. Filters on intake fans are incredibly extremely nice, I have but to have to clean the inside of the case. Nearly no dust gets in the case. heavy and large, but I knew that prior to I purchased it wish the fan controls had been on the leading or front

Comment:
this factor here has LOTS of room. all fans have their switches high and lows. 1st day received: 1 broken screw discovered rolling around inside the case from the large fan.

Comment:
Alot of spaceVery cool well built alright this is not genuinely a con but its the only thing i could believe of that was not to my likeings with the case and that would be that the reset button is like seriously sinsative so when u attempt to move the case and your hand touches it like barley it will reset the comp. but its not truly a con fantastic case and i would recommend it to everyone. stays genuine cool and looks awsome
