Absurd case ... why on earth would you buy such a case? Because it's loud as hell, because it's ugly, or maybe because it's 21 century and this one can't even accommodate EATX mobo (forget about internal space) ...

IMO the top looks ugly

NaStY!!! Do you guys remember the car from aliens 2 I think. This case reminds me of it.

This is a lame pic of it, but it works. www.rccaraction.com/Media/BlogMembers/AlienAPC_1_0.jpg


I think i will stick with my Lian Li.

Still looks too short to me,same problem as the 900.

well at least it has a shitload of airflow... and in the right spots for once.

it seems.... short? makes me think a GTX wont fit in there. maybe its just a scale thing.

That top really is ugly, however a thermochill 120.3 would fit in the front...

I won't be so sure about Thermochill 120.3 fitting in front without any serious modifications, maybe regular 120x3 radiator, but not thermochill stuff. If I remember right, the Nine hundred could not fit any radiator at all at the front, this looks quite the same to me ... it's just a little taller than the old one.

is it just me or did they say something about "advanced cable management" all i see is a couple holes in the mobo tray :confused:

intel igentis it just me or did they say something about "advanced cable management" all i see is a couple holes in the mobo tray :confused:

Welcome to the world of marketing. :shadedshu

Wile EWelcome to the world of marketing. :shadedshu

it also comes with mounting holes for ATX and MATX mobos, drilled by the precision of skilled antec engineers. Each hole is backed by a 3 year warranty, and guaranteed not to stop being a hole at any time.

The main problem with cases and radiator setups is often that the fans dont line up in the same places, or that the barbs stick out too far and hit something.

its only got a couple homes more than the antec 900...an cable management on that sucks...:p

i need no introduction, i was being sarcastic :)

:toast:

I know, I was just emphasizing your comment. lol.

Black internals were cool, the case otherwise looked messy.

Doesn't look as well built as the nine hundred or as nice, but at least they've sprayed the interior black.

Looks like a functional but rather generic looking case.
I think I prefer the Armor series.

Um yeah... 8800GTX will fit...?



All because one guy badmouths the case, it does not mean everyone else is forced to as well.

Does Antec not realize people like to put reservoirs on top of their cases? Why can't Antec make a flat top case!?

Also, if you're comparing this to the Antec 900, it really does have advanced capable management lol.

not as many as you would think :p

most people use air cooling...only a handful of pc users go water cooling

tkpenaltyUm yeah... 8800GTX will fit...?

i wasn't bad mouthing... just saying that it doesn't have the best cable management

id prefer a coolermaster Cosmos S or a CM stacker 830/832 (I prefer the 832)

Cosmos looks much better then this case & it even has a slot dedicated for a triple fan rad kit.

The case is blatantly too short,the motherboard is gonna come right up to the front drivebays.Too short.

The black interior is an improvmet tho'

my x2 fits in the 900 barely..but what do you expect from a mid tower size case :p

theres a reasonable size gap, check out my uber mobo template

the top still looks poo though

malwareAbsurd case ... why on earth would you buy such a case?

That's the first time I've seen you so irrational. And that's why I'm writing this.
It could not be more apparent that you have something against it, that fills you with such hate.

malwareBecause it's loud as hell

On low, it's barely audiable while maintaining almost the same performance.
The Tri-Cool fans are the same ones used in the p190, and I could not be happier with it, and with them. Only my S-FLEX fans have an overall better CFM/dbA rating.

malwarebecause it's ugly

It would be hard to disagree on personal taste if only the Twelve Hundred wasn't so objectively sharp-looking, sleek and stylish. The front is excellent, the sides and window and great, the top part is much better than the Nine Hundred, and overall it's one of the best looking cases I've ever seen. Even better than my p190 or the infamous Stacker 810. Honestly, if you claim to find this case unattractive, I cannot trust a single word you say.

malwaremaybe because it's 21 century and this one can't even accommodate EATX mobo (forget about internal space) ...

Absolutely absurd comment.
1. The fact that it's the 21st century has nothing to do with people wanting to use two CPUs. Infact, due to Quad-Core CPU's, I'd say the fact that it's the 21st century makes EATX motherboards obselete, if not for serious, professional, multi-thread using CAD and 3D applications.
2. EATX is the least popular motherboard standard. I don't know a single person who owns an EATX motherboard. They are expensive, require registered RAM, and are mostly useless regarding my comment above.
3. Almost all cases support standard ATX motherboards only. Ragging on a case for not supporting EATX is like going down on the 790i Ultra SLi motherboard for not having PCI-X slots. Both are about equally used.. infact, it's an identical situation.
