Airflow: Wonderful airflow with selection to add even Much more fansLooks: Enjoy the blue LEDs and the painted interiorSize: This thing is massive! (Space for gigantic CPU coolers) Back side panel is a bit tight to put on and the manual was a bit vague...Nothing at all Main... I wish they would add an internal hot swappable drive bayWish the "SSD Support" was a hot swappable drive bay...It's so large that my Corsair 750 Watt (Non-Modular) PSU with "extra long" cables doesn't reach the 6 pin energy connector on my MOBO when routed behind the MOBO...(Though that's probably much more of a PSU con than anything)Works great even with no ANY cable managment. ;)

Incredibly nice case, very best i've ever owned, although i need to say, I technically have the previous version. The cable management behind the back side is fantastic. I have really couple of cables showing, despite the fact that you had very best make certain your power provide has long sufficient cords. The dust filters on the front and side fans can be removed to clean. It stays nice and cool. plenty of room for drives, 13? glows blue, looks awsome with my blue psu. can see through side. very roomy for big cpu coolers and extended gpus. the challenging drives come out the front so you dont have to take something off your mobo. some cases require gpu removal to take out/ put in a tough drive. the front 3 fan filters demand 8 thumb screws per to pull out. the side one is simple, i wish they had been too. as with the fans, to eliminate or add a hard drive, you have to take out 8 thumb screws, and then use a screwdriver to put them in place, kindof aggravating. It is a heavy case, which is fine for me, but individuals who LAN alot wont want to get a full size tower.

This case is big! Comes with frontal USB three. and looks awesome. The SSD mount is not worth employing, stick to a two.five to 3.five bracket. Luckily, my SSD came with 1. Otherwise, the SSD ends up way too close to the case wall, making plugging in the cables quite challenging to do with no unscrewing the drive. The USB 3. has to be run by means of the back of the case, given that 1155 boards don't have frontal USB assistance but.

Tons of room, fans are fairly quiet, very good layout and fit. Only includes 1 3.5" bay adaptor, so (as in my case) you require to install additional than one three.five" device you have to order yet another from antec. Also the huge case size indicates that if you use a lot of the top drive bays you almost certainly will have to settle for less than optimal cable routing, as power and other cables just barely reach. Also the right side of the case, which is for cable management, is so shallow that it can be hard to put the cover on. An additional 1ǚ" of depth would have helped.You have to take away each side covers and a lot of bay screws just to clean the front filters. My front USB connectors don't seem to operate for all devices, not certain what the result in is.

This is by far the finest case I have ever worked with. Utilized it for my personal gaming Pc and the airflow is outstanding with this case. Getting in a position to control all the fans is a massive plus simply because when I play games I normally play with most of the fans on high and its a small noisy but I used high volume surround sound so no worries, however when all the fans are turned to low its surprisingly quite very. Keeps my GTX 260 OC'ed idle at 35-40C and 55-65C even though playing Crysis with the fans up. Overall a lot much better cooling than my old case with these components, those cards are just heat magnets it seems like haha. CPU running at 20C idle. Good cable management, the hard drives fit in nicely and the air filters on the front intake fans is a plus even if they are somewhat challenging to get too. This case just plain looks remarkable and does anything I've required it to and far more. Would advocate to anybody making a high end gaming Computer. Big and Heavy with all the components installed, but its not going anyplace anytime soon so no big deal technique I utilized this case for:Antec 1200AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2ghzASUS M4N82 Deluxe 980a SLI8GB DDR2 8002 GTX 260 OC'ed 896MB 448-bit SLIKingwin 1000w Modular Power Provide

Incredibly effectively built case. Wonderful airflow. Fits all my goods incredibly very easily. None that I have located. This factor is massive! Read the dimensions and get a tape measure and see how massive it is. I totally underestimated it but I am incredibly content about it. Fits all my internals and water cooling like its nothing and just looks astounding sitting next to my desk.

Every thing about it only con i could feel of is the amazing cleanable filters are tough to get to. it is well worth the money

Comment:
This case is amazing in many techniques! Even though building the whole setup i by no means ran into a difficulty with this case. I truly like how u can run most of the wires behind where the mobo sits to make it a lot more presentable. Also with as quite a few fans as there are on this factor..it is truly kind of rather, but i will be honest when all the fans are set to High it can have some noise but with all do respect the only time u will have them turned up that high is when you are gaming so your headphones or speakers will hide the fan noise. Not one so far entirely worth it!

I've been building PCs for ㅋ years now, this is the very first case that "FEELS" like your assembling a thing "top-shelf". Tons of space Plenty of air flow and it looks Amazing! SOLID, RUGGED, SPACIOUS! The cut outs in the mounting plate for the mother board make cable management so nice, identical with the cut out for an immediately after market HSF! YOU WILL NOT REGRET Obtaining THIS CASE! Why are you nonetheless reading this, GO ORDER IT ALREADY! Not actually cons, just factors to preserve in mind or factors for Antec to take into account for possibly a V4?This is a FULL tower, so make certain you have space for it. It's also SOLID and quite heavy once loaded. Make positive you don't have back issues. ;P My prior case had a pair of latch's to take the windowed side panel off, so you didn't necessarily need to have to screw it in location. That would have been a good touch on this case.Unless it fell out somewhere, I saw no manual. A couple occasions a simple 1 would have saved me some time figuring out a couple points. I didn't thoughts, but it might frustrate some men and women. Honestly NO complaints about this case. Nothing worth taking an egg away for. It is a solid case so it WILL be heavy when your by means of assembling your rig. It's also a full tower so keep that in mind. I saw some folks make minor complaints about fan noise. What I have observed is if they are on low, I don't notice them at all. If I turn them all the way up, I can barely hear them. Getting used high RPM 80mm fans in my prior case, these fans hardly even whisper compared to them.

This case is heavy! in a very good way. Not flimsy or inexpensive at all. Plenty of room for even the greatest video card. Very very good airflow. 190T running stock HSF at four.1GHz under full load sits about 50C. Heavy lol. weighs about 50lbs with all my components in it. The 200mm fan power connector was broke upon arrival, but it was an uncomplicated fix and not worth dropping an egg for. You get what you pay for, and this case is worth every single penny!

My very first self built laptop and I could not have asked for a much better case for the process. - A lot of room - Fantasic air flow- Sweet looking led lights- Fan speed externally adjustable- Side 120mm fan choice- Top usb/mic/speaker- Bottom mount PSU- 200mm large boy top exhaust fan- Lots of drive bays- Dust filters on all intake fans- Wide enough for some of the tallest heatsync'sYea just acquire this case.

Packaging was adequate for secure delivery. Every little thing intact, all parts and manuals included. Large amount of space inside for anything you could want. Fans not broken as many complain about when acquiring situations. Shipping this practically 40lbs behemoth expense almost as considerably as the item(FPO/APO address). But that was expected.Definitely, there isn't a lot you can say against this though. Shipping for FPO/APO address said it would take 2-6 weeks, it arrived in only 9 days. Just amazing.

Can fit everything I put into it! [giggity haha jk] the fans function great and cool every thing down way superior than my mid-tower case ever could! ginormous!! haha not genuinely a con though, I wanted a full atx tower and Antec provided me with the best case Just friggin remarkable! I enjoy it!!

Comment:
Easy install, excellent fan setup for cooling drives. Filters for the fans make standard cleaning simple-ish. Too tight for a side-facing SATA connection. My mobo's SATA connections go straight into the tough drive mounts, way too close for comfort. A left- or appropriate-facing drive bay would be Considerably beter. Upward-facing SATA connections or smaller than full ATX would be fine. It's a small tight for cabling with massive format video cards in the case as well.

Every thing about this case is extremely nicely made and believed out wish the hdd dive could fit in the braket with each fans....idk I just began to create no difficulties so far.....

Comment:
Following moving my rig from a mid tower to this case my graphics card dropped 6 degrees. None I purchased 2 additional for other builds. This is the finest you could get.

Comment:
I love this full tower... have bought two of them.lots of room inside and very easy to rout cables...definately a must for gamers...Thank NCIX;)

At this moment I can not write an actual evaluation. Purchased the previous version of this case back in Aug. 2010 and have been waiting for the additional cash to create a new rig. For now, five eggs from all the other reviews I've read. None that I'm aware of but. Lastly working on spec'ing out a new program as I now have the extra cash to create my rig (woot! Go automobile insurance!!). Anyway, I plan to purchase the Gigabyte G1.Assassin EX-ATX motherboard. I just need to have to know if the Twelve Hundred case supports the EX-ATX size, particularly the dimensions of the G1.Assassin.A manufacturer's response to this question would be incredibly much appreciated, as it would be extremely disappointing to order every thing and not be able to put it together mainly because the motherboard doesn't fit my case.

Lot of room, cools nicely, and has USB 3. on the front. Getting able to manually control the 3 front and two back fans with the knobs/switches is truly good too. No fan on the side, but I can always add one :) Love it so far, such a nice case.

- Design: This case displays a presence of elegance and energy. Searching at it you're in awe of the lights, minimal design, and size but at the same time intimidated becase you know what ever hardware is in there is meant to be used. And utilized tough. The see-by means of side panel give or take for me, I'd prefer a lot more surface location for cooling rather than aesthetics but man, seeing all my new hardware in there all tidy and humming away brings a smile to my face.- Material: It's a durable steel chassis for the most component, but the bays and front mesh cover are produced of some sort of plastic which doesn't bother me (at first). Rounded edges on the internals to give you a anxiety totally free building experience. Most of the standoffs are pre-mounted, and the cable management choices are endless.- Efficiency: This is my final selling point mainly because it does specifically what I wanted it to which is keeping my hardware at roughly 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperature for the duration of full load and at idle speeds The only actual downside I found was those front bays. The have screws that are about 1.five inches lengthy for being able to mount rubber shock washers to your difficult drives. It's good to have, but if you occur to order an SSD it's practically impossible to discover a way to effectively mount it, even with the SSD's mounting bracket that it comes with. It may be because I purchased a GSkill SSD and the other manufacturers use a different normal for mounting, but I doubt it.The truth that they created removable bays from the front is a huge bonus, but they don't seem to be that secure in the case seeing as how I pulled one out and was unable to get it latched back in with the similar secure result. Ultimately, I adore this case. I believe it's a excellent style and cools efficiently and is able to house all your goodies, which is pretty considerably all you really should be searching for in a case (besides the obvious private appeal). Currently my SSD is mounted to it's bracket, then that is mounted inside 1 of the 5.25" bays through zip ties. It's particularly secure, but it's not how it's supposed to be, hence the 4 egg rating :\ Sorry Antec, pretty much although!

Man, I bought a Dell XPS 2 years ago and thought, "JEEZ this box is Huge!", but this Antec is like my old stripper ex-girlfrind, this Box can fit 2 guys in it! DOH!! Lot's of space, good color of blue with the lights out, lots of air, keeps all my new tech inside good and cool! The leading fan is so large, its like a medium size pizza! Well, could be far better explanations or directions. But other than that.....NONE!!! Seriously, you want a excellent box, invest the additional ฮ.00 and get this 1. Super major, and super air flow! I'm so happy it created my sticker peck out!

I bought this case about a month ago and it was part of my first PC build. It was easy to figure out how everything worked and were everything went. I have a GTX 580 in it and I was originally worried that it wouldn't fit but I have a solid inch or two between it and the drive bays. The only problem is the cable managment which is ok but its not the greatest and I am sure if I was a more experienced computer builder it would bug me more, but I dont have anyhthing to compare it too so I dont mind. Overall great case though

Comment:
A significant quantity of airflow and space. The huge fans give me a lot more then sufficient cooling, plus you can add a side fan. Wish it would have came with the side fan.

Comment:
I previously owned an antec 900. this factor is so much far more then i expected. Huge does not begin to describe it. Extremely sturdy and lots of room to meddle with almost everything. If you want a case and you dont get this then I DONT LIKE YOU. MY @#$%in tuniq tower 120 extreme will not fit with the side fan by maybe 1 cm? I know, I know, what what i thinking receiving a tuniq tower AND wanting a side fan. I am not sure if antec is watching this or not but is there anything i can do to solve this concern without attempting to break the case or the side panel? or is there anything i can acquire? I know it is a tad extreme to want so several fans, but come on Antec produced this case for ppl like us who want our gaming rig to be cooled by a tiny jet engine and i am getting denied max speed!USB 3. cable is strange and i personally suggest the connection to the back of the motherboard at least split to permit for the use of the slot it takes up. HDD bays have to be taken out to add additional HDDs. Not sure this is a con due to the fact i can't believe of a fix for it or why i uncover it wrong, i was just surprised when I got to putting my hdds in. Acquire this case... Unless you have a tunia tower and want a sidefan? Ya know nevermind get the case anyways, becuase antec cares and will engineer some thing for this situation.

Extremely roomy. My 120mm Zalman vertical cooler sits in here with ample room to spare. A lot of room for running cables and stuff.Switch to turn off lights on the leading fan.Every single of the six fans has it's own speed control. Finish on the plastic parts. The plastic places have this pretty much abrasive really feel, very unpleasant to the touch. Minor, but it could be better.No filter on the leading fan. There are none on the two rear fans either, but that's ok mainly because they're exhaust fans. Getting an intake fan, I feel the top should have one thing far more than the honeycomb grid that I can pretty much fit a pencil by means of. If I ever get to watch a fly get sucked in there it'll be worth it although.Lame USB3 rigging. To hook up the USB3 port on the front, you have to run the included cable out the back of the case and plug it into a rear USB3 port on your motherboard. So in order to have a USB3 port on the front, you have to sacrifice 1 from the back. Seems sort of a chinsy way to do items, but whatever. If you don't want to hook it up, there's no will need to. The case consists of no bracket for mounting two.5" drives in the three.5" drive slots, on the other hand it has hardware for mounting 1 two.five" drive to the floor of the case, next to the energy supply. Weird, I know, but it seems to function nicely. I use the spot to mount my 64GB boot SSD, and if I get more SSDs in the future, I'll just get the bracket to adapt them to the three.five" slots.All in all, extremely satisfied with this case regardless of the cons I mentioned here! 4 eggs since it's not ideal, but I'd purchase this case once more!My rig:This caseASUS M4A89TD Pro/USB3 motherboardRadeon HD 69501 SSD, 2 HDDsEnergy supply of unknown name.
