antec 1200...

[dunn2953]

what ever happened to the antec 1200? I havent heard anything about it and am not sure if i should jump on the 900 for 70 bucks or wait for the 1200/

[cabbspapp]

I was wondering that too. I'm a 900 owner and I think it's a good case. It gets much better when you mod it though.

900 is a steal for 70 bucks, overclockers dream case, closed this thing is cooler than my open case.

[p0tter]

I like the look of the 900, but I find it too small for W/C. It it was slightly larger, it would be teh pwnz

£89

that is cheap for a full tower with very good features, Antec 900 costs about £70-80 in UK. I would expect the actual price to be slightly over £100.

Yes we get bent over for prices in UK.

I hope they paint the final black like in the pics.

Impressive
It must be cooler than he's brother 900 :]

[DTU_XaVier]

And I JUST got a CM690... Aw
Looks so bad-ass I want one, even after working with a 900 for a friend and hating every minute of it

Best Regards

i agree, its pretty bad. I also would prefer that the 200mm fan weren't there at all, but thats just me

your not alone mate

[Scubar]

Wow and the 900 looks crap enough, they have really gone to town on the 1200 to make it look like the biggest piece of crap ever

[eternaljammer]

Personally, I like the look.

[Den Leiw]

I find it to be an awesome case. Better than 900.

But it isn't even announced on any website or any possibilty of preorder so I guess this will be a 2008 release...

[Fenom]

I emailed Antec a few weeks ago to ask them when the 1200 would be released, but they didn't say anything.. just to wait for it to be announced on their website

[Jodiuh]

Are there any dimensions on this yet? I'd like to see:

-hdd suspension or grommets
-filters on all intake fans
-removable grills
-big boy side fan that fits over large tower heatsinks
-roller blade style wheels would be nice
-$150

well it looks like this compared to a P180 mini :



and there are filters on the intake fans apparently

Additional photos from another website :






That's the one with watercooling but there will also be a version without all that crap apparently...


Anyway I did some email spamming
I sent an email to Antec USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and "International" asking them for an approximative release date and additional information of the 1200

I wonder who will email me back first :P

[Den Leiw]

Ok I got some info.

O_o The European sales manager gave me an answer :

Dear Mr Leiw

Yes you are right. Our Antec Twelve Hundred case will be available in Europe in the first quarter of 2008.

We thank you very much for your interest in our products



With Best Regards,

Nice, now spam them all w/ info on this and ask for a date.

[mad_skills]

Looks like a winner to me.
Surely will be better than the Nine Hundred and that is awesome case.

[Den Leiw]

Got some updated information

Hello sir,

The release of Twelve Hundred will be January 2008 at this moment.

Thank you,

Antec
