Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:Not many weakness coming with this case. It has almost evverything. The only real downside to this would probably have to be the price. As it never really budges from the $200 range to much, it is not ment for everybody.
Pros:Awesome Case. Very big, very spacey. Has excellent wire management system. With the large amount of fans, the motherboard and entire computer stays sufficiently cooled even throughout the most intense overclocking sessions Comment:
over all, is a very good case. There is room to put absoltly anything you can think of, and will never even slightly get filled up. Dont know why this is considered to be a mid-tower case, when clearly it has all the markings of being an awesome Full-Tower! |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:-Loud-Heavy
Pros:-Looks great-Amazing ventilation (lots of fans)-Lots of room Comment:
I'll start off by saying that this is a really nice looking case, especially when turned on with all the lit up LED fans. I also love the painted inside, looks really sharp. Amazing ventilation, especially with the 200mm beast at the top. But given that I have 8 fans (3 front, 2 rear, 1 top, 1 HDD, 1 side), it's really loud. I love the 2 liquid cooling holes at the back, very convenient, the cable management holes...etcThe motherboard tray isn't removable, but this case is pretty big, so it shouldn't be a problem. Considering it's made from mostly steel, it's a pretty heavy case, but that shouldn't be that big of a deal since it's not like you're going to be carrying it around everywhere.Note: The description says it's a mid tower case, but it's the size of a full tower |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:Plexiglass side is put on with cheap plastic screw type things that will break off if you move your case / ship it around too much. You can crazy glue them back on, but it is just poor design. The top of the case is loose (slides back and forth). I would still buy this case again.
Pros:Great airflow, lots of room, will fit any SLI setup (I have 2x 280 GTX), will fit ULTRA 120e 1366 heatpipe. In 25C ambient room with 6 harddrives, 2 280GTX, optional wind tunnel fan on graphics cards, I have 36C CPU 39C GPU at idle. CPU is corei7 920 j 4GHZ (50% overclock). Great case. Comment:
I sized up cases left right and center and went with this one. The cooling and space are great. I am not a big fan of the look, or the blue LEDs, but you get over it fast as it sits on your floor. My older computer is in a P182 that I wish would fit all this new gear, but there is just no way. I don't regret buying this case and would do so again. |

Cons:The Hard drive and front fan "Tray" are very tedious to get out even though thumbscrews there's 8 of them just to install another HDD. Instead of drilling the water cooling holes Horizontal they are vertical..
Pros:Great case, the design is amazing and its extremely spacious. Cord Managment is a breeze and the fans are outstanding. The overall airflow in the case is amazing. Comment:
Over all this case has amazing features and I love it, it smashes down every other case I have owned and its painted inside!, (Thats amazing... Trust me) |

Cons:Absolutely nothing.
Pros:Lot's of room.Comes with removable modules.5 x 120mm fans1 x 200mm fan.Blue Led fans.Excellent airflow.Water cooling ready/capable.Looks sharpBottom mounting PSU.Fan controllers on all included fans.Antec quality. Comment:
Absolutely one of the nicest cases I've ever owned. Amazing air flow due to all the 6 blue led included fans. 5 x 120mm, and a whopping 200mm fan on top for superior heat removal. All with fan controllers for those who like minimal noise pollution. The water cooling ready platform for my water cooling system works well. Antec even took into consideration cable management when designing this casewhich is always a plus. |

Cons:NONE!
Pros:SIZE!PerformanceLookCooling Comment:
This is a MONSTER case! Full size. Can be a bit expensive, but if you're patient, wait until you find a good price and price match! Got it for $152! This case looks sharp, has amzinging cooling, and can fit everything you could possibly want! No more worries about your graphics card or heatsink fitting. IT WILL FIT ALL. There are two optional 120mm fans you can fill, buy 2 more fans and you're good to go. Ultimate Gaming case hands down. |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:maybe if the lights on the other fans (not just the huge top fan) could be turned off, it would be alright, but aside from that, there simply is no other weakness.
Pros:appearanceremovable dust filtersblack interiorside panel with windowairflow Comment:
Aside from the fact that it is a freaking huge case, there really is no drawback. Airflow is amazing, keeps my temps down on all low fan speeds, looks great in my room, and it really does what it says. It is a very good gaming case for anyone who wants to build a computer for fun. |

Cons:Because of the huge size of the case, some cables might not be long enough to hide them the way you want.
Pros:Lot of fans, nice design Comment:
This case is awesome. Lot of fans but still very quiet. The front fans have air filters which is nice. A bit pricey but it's all worth the money. Definitely one of the best case design I've seen. |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:Heavy to move for someVery ominous and threatening when placed on desktopCan be considered loud when all fans on med-highCost prohibitive for some
Pros:Excellent airflowLots of room insideVery well built and attractive case Comment:
Um, I love it. Everyone who has seen it thinks it's a work of art. It's all black, outside, inside, and on it's backside. I have a Maximus II Formula with Q9550, Xigmatek HDT-S1283 heatsink, GTX260 GPU, WD Caviar Black 1TB HD, Corsair HX620 PSU, 4GB of Mushkin Ram, and a Samsung DVD writer in this thing and it looks empty inside. There is so much more room to spare. The led fans are really quiet on low and look really nice and are not to bright and in your face. Cable management in this case is excellent.....if you take your time to do it!Dust so far doesn't seem to be an issue, but it has only been a week.I highly recommend this to anyone that isn't on a budget. |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:Power button is a bit close to the headphone jack, just be careful not to push it when plugging them in.For some the looks, but it looks fine to meNo PSU vent on bottom of caseCase isn't really elevated off the ground
Pros:BigNice finish (painted black inside and out)Decent cable managementComes with more than enough fans for the average gamerExtra fan slots are in excellent positioningTray on topEasy access front ports for mic, headphone, USB, and firewireSturdyFeet for PSU Comment:
I've rigged this case up with all the available fan slots.3x 120mm in the front (included), 2x 120mm in the back (included), 1x 200mm on top (included), 1x 120mm in the middle of the case blowing on GPU, and 1x 120mm on the side of the case blowing on the GPU.From that I can tell you that it is easy to get a good push pull configuration inside the case. The air is pulled out the rear of the case on all hardware components (PSU, GPU through PCI expansion slots)It really is a nicely designed case, especially for the price. The stock fans all come with blue LEDs so that's an added bonus, as well as the sharp look of the case. Ideal for air cooling and easy to get good temperatures when setup properly. There is also a lot of room to work inside the case.One thing it would be nice to have in this case is that it be elevated with higher feet or bars, even casters so there could be a vent for the PSU on the bottom. But that can always be changed later if you know what you're doing.Definitely a recommended product! |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:Bays in Static Groups of Three
Pros:Excellent Build QualityInterior is FinishedPSU at the bottomCable Management120MM Fans - Great Airflow Comment:
I absolutely love this case, the build quality is obvious when working on it, and the interior finished black metal is excellent. You can always tell when your working on a cheap case, and this one is good. The cable management is great, and combiend with all the fans, makes for some very efficient airflow.Youll probably want to pick up at two extra 120mm fans for the door and interior... the case is designed to take advantage of it with its prebuilt brackets, why not use them? Fans go on sale for like $5 all the time, well worth it.The only thing I didnt like about the case, is that the drive bays are static groups of three, each with their own fan... so if you have three or less bays to use, your fine, but i have a Sentry LX fan controlelr that takes 2 slots, a card reader that takes a slot, and a DVD burner... if i wanted to use all 4, id have to sacrificae a fan, and put two covers over the 2nd and third bay for that block. I end up just removing the card reader and buying a USB external reader, so i could keep the fan...and it looks way better with the fans.For the price, i couldnt find a better case. Highly recommended. |

Cons:The dust filters are a slight nussence when taking out as they require alot of pressure to push out. I actually cut my finger once :P.
Pros:-Size : Plenty of room for oversized Video Cards.-Airflow : With the massive 200mm fan spinning at the top it's always cool.-Dust Filters : The three removable dust filters at the front prevent most dust from entering so you don't have to clean it every week.-Features : The two USB's at the front are handy when using Memory Sticks or other USB's.-Finish : The sleek black look along with the Blue LED's make this case wicked.

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:Could use more room behind MB for cabling.Label on top panel jacks would be nice. (Audio Mic)
Pros:Tons of Room, Great Cooling. Comment:
This case is amazing. There is a ton of room inside for everything. Running cables behind the motherboard panel can be a little tight but do-able. Audio/Mic jacks on the case front are not labelled so you have to guess the first time (or follow the cables). Despite the number of fans it is really quite quiet. It only makes slightly more noise than some of my older machines. I highly recommend this case.

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:The fans aren't the quietest.Not fun changing out or installing hard drives, way to many screws for no real reason!Made for designing and building a system - Not for one where you want to often change out hardrives.One heavy mother, which is good or bad depending :)
Pros:Price!Excellent Build Quailty : Zero sharp edges! Good cable management with lots of room to work. Good airflow keeps things cool.Front fan controls, USB and HD Audio.Will take a large Heatsink!Ability to run cables out the back from MB for external devices. Comment:
It's got the looks I wanted. With lots of hardrive capacity. The little shelve on top is nice for holding things, but the corrugated side strips on top are just dust collectors. The fan lights look kinda bright in photo's but I don't find them bothersome at all and they look way kewl. I'm enjoying the case and feel it was a good value for the money. |

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Cons:None.
Pros:Easily accessible dust filters, tons of room, painted interior, cable management holes, adjustable fans, quiet, subtle lighting, sturdy construction, ample use of thumb-screws. Comment:
This is an amazing case. I use it for my computer, and have built a computer for a friend in it. It is a pleasure to work with, is very well built, very well finished. All the edges are smoothed and everything is painted nicely. The buttons on the front of the case are sturdy and feel nice when pushed, they're not cheap feeling by any means. The HDD cages are super easy to work with and the airflow through them is great. The lighting on the case is subtle, but really nice. It doesn't light up the room or glare annoyingly. The case is very quiet with all fans on low, and only moderately loud with the 3 front fans on maximum. With all fans at max it is quite loud, but is flowing an enormous amount of air. There is also SO much room to work in, it's lovely. Way nicer than cramped cases. |

Cons:A little too big, this case does not even fit in my computer desk and I am kinda wondering what to do with it at the moment, Check the dimensions before you buy to make sure it can fit in your desk...The fans are also noisy when on high but that is to be expected...
Pros:Lots of Space, Great and Easy Drive Bays, Cool, Easy to work with, Adjustable Fan speed built in. Comment:
Great Case, Lots of room, maybe too much room as it is large, but overall a great case to work with. Quality is great although instruction manual could be updated and more informative for the new DIY'ers, i had no problems but some may get confused... |

Cons:HeavyTop 5.25" drive bay somewhat covered by the top lipSide window scratches TOO easily
Pros:HUGEnever seen so many fansPlenty of Power supply room Comment:
I can't really say this enough this thing is gigantic. If it was possible you could probably fit 2 computers in it. The hard drive cages are great and are easy to access. A few simple screws and anything can be moved around. This might not be tooless but everything will be secure and won't rattle. I should warn you not to touch the side window as it scratches easily, I removed the fan filter and my finger nails left marks. Got this on sale too so 5/5 from me. |

Very good gaming case, plenty of air flow. LOts of room for SLI/crossfire. cable managment is very well planned almost everything can be hidden if done right. Loud case (for me) even with everything low. Good quality build. Highly recommend if you don't mind noise... =D
