Antec 1200

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 7, 2008

I know the full tower case has been long awaited by most for most of this year and its only up until yesterday did I see it on newegg for 164.99 USD. Price jumped up $10.

Original price was $215.99. They have a promo code that you can use to get 20% off and it comes with free 3-day shipping.

I finally caved and I bought the case. Hoping it will get here before Friday since I had it shipped 2-day.

I cant wait to get my hands on this sexy looking case.

Its a nice case but watch how you grab it or move it around. First day I had mine I broke the top plastic. Its screwed on with plastic stand offs. Its no big deal top stays on and all but its loose now. :banghead:

Other than that I love the case. I also have three of the 900s and this is better. Has filters and front fan controls. But the thing is huge.

You will be please with case. IMO

After I ordered the case I realized that I really didnt check the dimensions of the case to see if it would fit under the desk. From the pictures, it doesnt seem as though it has feet on the bottom of the case. and it is 22" tall and my Armor is 20 but with feet and there is maybe another inch or two left for room. Im hoping it will fit.

When did you get your case?

johnspack · Oct 7, 2008

Got my antec 1200 a few weeks ago from NCIX for $179, loaded up the 2 spare fan bays, 8 case fans! My cpu ard nb temps sure went down though.
And it doesn't seem to have noticable feet, sits right on the ground... I don't want to tip my case right now, very heavy.

freaksavior · Oct 7, 2008

we (ok I) want pics when your done with it. never been to keen on the antec cases though.. still want the pics

viczulis · Oct 7, 2008

Looking at mine right now, has rubber feet but very low profile.
Good Luck with fitting. Dam that would suck if not.

johnspack · Oct 7, 2008

Yes, my computer room is ugly, and the cable nazis will get me, but see how low to the ground the case sits:

I will see what I can do.

As for johnspack - ew a floppy drive...

johnspack · Oct 7, 2008

Yes, but I need my ozc rally2 for readyboost, and, yes I can use that other old 2gig thing to boot from, but I hail from dos days, I like my floppy drive heheh!

Working on it right now actually. Unfortunately for me its an inch to high to fit under my desk. Figuring alternate places.

Ive heard the antec 1200 is good but isnt it loud with all those fans? Or they at low rpm?

Ill find out soon enough. Every fan has a controller built into the case.

The top and rear fans have switches on the back of the case for low medium and high. The front 3 case fans have dials that you can turn on the front of the case.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 10, 2008

Working on uploading pics. For now, here is a desktop screenshot with my 2x120mm rear fans, and top 240mm fan on high, including the front 3x120mm fans on high.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 10, 2008

(Im unhappy with the way the cables are in this one)

freaksavior · Oct 10, 2008

CrAsHnBuRnXp,

take the 8 pin and route it under the board or behind the tray if you can, that would help.

For the CPU? Cant, it wont reach the board.

freaksavior · Oct 10, 2008

eww, yes, that sucks.

Thats one reason i dont like cases with the psu at the bottom

I have this case with all fans installed. I have it on medium, and my computer room is quiet as heck. I don't hear it, besides my CPU fan (I OC'd to 3 GHz on stock voltage. I is king!). I do believe you will fall in love with the case. If you are suffering from heat problems, this is just what the doctor ordered.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 11, 2008

I have the fans on low atm and it is very tolerable. With them on high, I can get my CPU temp at 18*C. Right now with them all on low, I am idling at 25*C and have an overclock of 3.8GHz. I also have no CPU fan installed.

With my CPU fan at 75 (cant even hear it), my idle temp is 41*C with stock clocks.

Im trying like hell to find two more black Antec case fans with blue LED's but cant find them. I even tried Antec's website.

I say pull the card and route the cable in the gap, then replace the card.

Might want to try that for the fans. Just get some cheap blue led fan, or get a tricool and paint it black.
