Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
Would like to know what sort of price point they are looking at?
Is that many fans necessarry do you think? And are there any after market solutions for the large 200mm fan at the moment? |

Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
The price point is around £120 as per the review (based on the 209$ USD price point)
As for replacement 200mm they are available although taking a while to come to market - there really isn't anything wrong with the one that is currently fitted, especially as there is three possible fan settings. Matt.

Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
Great review guys.
 One thing bugs me though is that it isnt very deep for a case of its size.  Making the impossible, possible |

Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
Been waiting for this one to come out.
I have the 900 case and Antec appear to have listened to the customers and corrected some of the niggles with the 900 case. 1. Dust filters fited to the fans ( had to cut up a pair of tights to make some for my 900) 2. The ability to change the fan speed without opening the case or fitting a seperate fan controller) 3. Cable managment holes and water cooling holes predone. Love my 900 have the fans set of medium and my overclocked Opteron 185 and 8800GTS run very cool So this is going on my wish list for that watercooled multiterrabyte gaming monster rig .......

Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
been waiting for this for a long time
 Hopefully we can buy it this month like Scott Richards said. One problem I can see is that if it has 2 inches of clearance for a 2900XT what about a 9800GTX  I have the same thoughts as Azza as it's not been resized horizontally as it has been vertically.

Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
My 900 is now suffering from 'case envy'
Damned nice case, you could easily squeeze a double rad in the front along with plenty of drives.

Re: World Exclusive! - Antec 1200 (Twelve Hundred)
Im looking at the information and if I am reading it right the 2900XT is 22cm in length and the 9800GTX is approx 5cm longer than that - if that is the case it should fit without issues, although you would lose at least one of the HDD out of the 3 available in the drive module
