Cons: Front fan not included. Only a top and rear. Somewhat heavy.
Pros: Tons of space and air flow. Excellent wire routes. Rear motherboard fan mount! Comment:
I recently purchased two of these cases for a server and desktop. Overall these cases look great and have lots of breathing room. My only complaint would be for the price point I would think they would come with a frontal fan. |

Cons: No dust filters on the side panels.
Pros: Great case for the price.Aesthetically pleasing. Comment:
I needed a large mid-tower case to fit my budget. I got this case on sale for $89.99 back in July 2012.Detailed Pros:The cut-out behind the CPU socket.Although it might not seem like much. This gives you access to the back of the motherboard underneath the CPU which is great for replacing the heatsink on the CPU without taking the whole damn motherboard out of the case.Spacious interiorThere is a TON of space for a standard ATX motherboard. I believe it can fit an ATX-XL. The rubber grommets allow you to hide the cables from your power supply among other cables behind the motherboard.Cons:I really dislike that this case didn't come with dust filters on the side panels. To remedy this situation, I bought 3 Silverstone FF122 Plastic Fan Filters. For one side panel, no work was required. But on the plastic side panel, I had to use some velcro strips to attach the filters. This is something that Antec should have put in their design but with a little work, you can get rid of this con.8/10. Would have been 10/10 if there were filters on side panels. >_ |

I needed an XL case and this fit my budget. Excellent purchase and would highly recommend this case. |

Cons: None that I can see
Pros: Huge case, lot of room for anything you put in it.Great cable management. Great quality Comment:
Well I went from a Antec Sonata 500 to this and what a difference! Has a real neat rail system when mounting drives. Dedicated place to install your 2.5" SS drives no adapters needed. Tons of places you can install 120mm fans. Great cable management where you route you cable behind your motherboard. This will fit any size motherboard or the largest video cards out there without a problem. Best case I've owned so far and I've owned a lot. |

Cons: 200mm-only fan mount on the top—no option to mount any sized radiator up in the roof. Front panel connectors were ~1cm too short for my cable routing tastes (at least the HD audio one).
Pros: Spacious. Great cable management options. Easy-access fan filters. Huge motherboard tray cutout for any backplates. So many fan mounts! Comment:
I love this case. It looks great without being over-the-top. It has lots of fan mounts, which is what I was looking for. There is copious space behind the motherboard tray for cables, and the routing holes are of course a very welcome touch. The grommets stayed in place while running cables through, too. I'm currently utilizing the fan mount on the right side panel, behind the motherboard, with an undervolted fan as an exhaust rather than an intake to avoid dust buildup better, but I'm sure my 8-pin power cable and some fan cables block the holes on the backside for a sufficient influx of fresh air; I still feel air coming in and going out, but not as much as I would expect with this fan, of course. I dislike the lack of fan mounting options on the top because this automatically takes out any option of topside radiator mounting, at least without some modifications. On the plus side of that, however, I do like the stock fan that comes in that mount. It's also a shame that the fan connector PCB in the upper-back of the case doesn't include the fan speed control options as the related P280 does. The only switch in the back of this is to turn the top 200mm fan's blue LED on and off.All in all, I really enjoy this case. The build was simple and neat, and most of everything is easy with this case. |

Cons: Lack of eSATA port connector.
Pros: Look great with big blue fan on top.Well build with cable hiding.Well vented and quiet. Comment:
This case is a very great buy. It is a little bit pricy but is well design, quiet and good looking even if the design is simple. There is a lot of place in this case and it's well vented. |

Cons: Annyoing 200mm fan blue LED at the top, why does it have to be blue. My color scheme is red. Rubber cable management grommets keep falling off, gotta keep putting them back on, I wish they glued them on or something.Obnoxious 120mm fan, good thing I'm using a Corsair H80 and replacing it.
Pros: Excellent Build Quality.I think this is one of the best bang for buck cases! Finger prints aren't really easy to see.Tool less optical drive, you just pop it in the frontTool less strong harddrive.Decent Ventilation.Very light weight empty.Huge back cpu cutout Comment:
4/5 stars. I really like this new case, although you have to go online to read the manual from the Antec Website, caused me a lot of headache to take out everything because it didn't include it in the box. The front bezel could be better, you would literally have to yank it towards you to open it to install your ODD, the front supports 2 120mm fans, although I believe it's going to be tough due to the foam blocking most of the air, it also has a fan grill and and a honeycomb plastic mesh to make matters worse, I would recommend getting static pressure optimized fans as it has to push the air through all that unnecessary blockage. |

I am RMA'ing this case due to the construction of the case. The steel side panels are fairly thin, and I was expecting a heavier duty case for the money. The is not what I am used to seeing from Antec. Opting for a Corsair... |

Cons: Cheap, parts missing..
Pros: Big, decent price Comment:
Very big case and good for cable management...however, comes with only 2 useless fans that are noisy and the cables are too short to plug them anywhere on the MB. No 3.5'' bracket for fan controllers or anything else that goes in front and that is 3.5''. Cheap, plastic pins break all over the place. Only 2 ssd slots and too many useless hdd slots....Next time i would go with coolermaster as their cases never disappointed me. Invest a bit more and get something else than antec, in the end itll cost just as much when you buy fans for the 1100. Antec used to be a good company but they cheaped out too much lately. |

Pros: BigLotsa room!!Great air flowgreat cable managementlots of HDD slots2 SSD slots Comment:
I bought this case for the sole reason that it was big. I needed create space between the full ATX mobo and PSU so I could fit a 3rd dual slot video card in. Even with all those heat sources (hottish i5 3570k too) the case still provides good air flow and keeps everything well ventilated.Thanks ANTEC!! |

Cons: No switch to change the speed of the top fan (200mm) while you can control the light.
Pros: Good finish, clean look, enough space for my need. Comment:
I was a bit worried about the window because of the 2 mount for fans but in the end it look good anyway.The case have a very clean look, not like it´s some sort of stange alien device like some other "gamer" oriented cases, i really like that.There is plenty of room for cable management, with a modular PSU you can definately do a clean job.That´s pretty much it, a good case! |

Cons: - Top fan makes a pretty annoying noise
Pros: - Price- Nice sturdy build- Nice finish- Cable Management- Roomy- Convenient Drive-Bays Comment:
After owning the Antec Nine Hundred (one of my favourite cases), I started buying all sorts of others from a plethora of manufacturers, and honestly, no one does it like Antec - this was definitely a pleasure to build a PC with.Only con I have is the top fan. Not sure how this passed their quality management because I noticed a few other people mentioning the same thing - but, it's not too big of a deal considering the price. Come winter time though I'll definitely be replacing it with a Blue Coolermaster Megaflow (the noise is masked by a bigger fan at the moment).Anyway, highly recommended! |

If you are going to buy this case then make sure you buy a power supply with long cables because I was unable to route the 4 pin power cable without it showing, and the molex cable that goes to the fan controller. I am using an xfx pro650w. This case is a absolute brick. It's amazing. However at the normal price of $120 I'm not sure I'd recommend it. I got mine on sale for 85$ and nothing at that price could beat it. However at 120$ I'm sure there are better options out thereMy system temperature stays under 50* Celsius even when gaming.In it I have:XFX 650W PRO650WMushkin Enhanced Blackline Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3Intel Core i5 2310Mushkin Chronos 120GBSapphire Radeon HD 4870 |

Don't know why its $119.98 online but I purchased this for $84.99 in store and after a $20 MIR its $69.99Other than that its a nice case. Make sure you have lots of room, its a big case and definitely a big improvement from the Antec 900 |

Cons: -top 200mm fan makes a rattling sound-top fan is connected to a fan controller that doesn't have a fan controller on some of the earlier batches.-fan controller might solve the constant rattling problem with the case-won't work with H100, but then i'm not using it-no front fans installed, I recycled my antec 900 front fans and used it as an exhaust too, quiet, but for more intake, the fans are too far away. Might be better to install more quiet fans at the closer set of intakes near the videocard and mobo. -the side panel fan thing blocks the view of the gpu unless you move gpu to the lowest slot, seeing half of it. The fans could potentially block the wiring of a gpu with side wiring to the window hitting the wires. -becareful with the pegs on the side window, they are flimsy
Pros: Almost everything is a pro, perfect cable management, big window, good cooling, 9 pci slots for quad or tri sli mobos, tons of room, easy to build, nice hardrive area and easy to install, top fan with blue led, has a fan controller on the back. Could fit any sized videocard no problem. Comment:
I have a love hate relationship with antec products. I used to have an antec 900, worst cable management ever. Top fan broke, thought maybe I should try the antec eleven hundred, could test if bottom slot works for pci-e since I have the room now. Also I would get a new top fan, could move my fans over to this case. That was the orginal plan. Well now the top fan makes a whrilling or ratting sound, it's not the vibration of the case, but maybe the ball bearings or cheap plastic moving at such high speeds. I noticed a similar sound using the highest fan setting with the antec 900. The batch I got didn't have a knob for the fan controller, connected to the fan. So you would only find an led switch not a low medium high setting on it. It's something to keep in mind, if your expecting this feature. I'm satisfied with it, but knowing this wouldn't purchase it again. That is why I am giving it three stars even if it deserves 4 or higher. If the top fan didn't make this rattling sound and had a fan controller, I probally would give it five stars. |

Pros: Lots of Space, nice black interior to match the outer case. Windowed side panel. Comment:
This case is a beautiful looking case. I like that the front panel has USB 3.0 and HD Audio. I do however miss the 3.5" bay for a card reader, so I just ordered a new 5.25" reader to fit in my third 5.25" bay.Overall this is a wonderful case. |
Overall, Antec 1100 is an awesome case. But, no intake fans makes you worry about which fan you need to buy, cable management, and something like that. Although this is not the key part of building a new pc, some perfectionists may be stuck in this point and stop thinking about this case. I think nobody will care the price rises a little bit if Antec adds 2 front intake fans.
