Antec Twelve Hundred Case Review

Capper · August 4th, 2008

Antec has certainly made a name for itself since its birth in 1986, and well it should, having provided quality computing solutions to enthusiasts for over 20 years. A leader in many different disciplines, Antec provides enthusiasts with a one-stop shopping experience that covers everything from power supplies to case fans. Committed to providing enthusiasts with superb products and customer service, Antec is primed to continue its legacy in being recognized as the number one supplier of computing components and accessories on the market today.

excellent review.. if it weren't for the price (and lack of $$$) I would pick up a few of them myself

I'm glad Antec listened to it's customers. They added motherboard cutouts and fan filters as well as external fan controls for certain fans.
There's only a little thing I could see added to the bundle and this would be an 8pin CPU power extension. Other than that, good job Antec. The 1200 is a real winner. :)

Great review and a nice case , i really like the built it fan controller . I wish my Armor + would have come painted on the inside. Maybe ill get around to doing it one of these days

Case is HUGE.
I was looking into it when I was looking between the Cosmos and this. In the end, went with the cosmos mainly because the 1200 just was too blocky for my taste.

loved the review!!! I have yet to put mine on the scale but im sure its close to 50lbs aswell... seems you guys touched on everything in regards to the case. Nice job!! Couldnt agree more about the handles. I placed those small round disc's on the bottom of the case that people put on furniture (to slide it along the carpet or floor) which helps in moving it around.

I had this problem when I was in New Orleans too. Thought maybe it was just my location, but it's doing it here at home as well.
