Antec 1200

[Medwynd]

Anyone ever heard about what happened to this case? I believe it was shown at Computex last year and never heard anything about it since.

Welcome to the forums!!

You have brought a great question with you. I need to know about this as well.

Welcome to AnandTech forums!

The Antec 1200 is one sexy case - lol Unfortunately, I have no info. It is a good question though, I pretty much forgot about this case.

I am really thinking about getting an Antec 900 case but if the 1200 is coming out soon...I'll wait!!!

I love my Antec 900. Such great airflow. The only con however, is that I live in a dusty house. LOL Definitely not the 900's fault though.

I have a 900 sitting boxed up for my next rig because I got a great price on it at Fry's, only $60 after rebate. I would have really liked the 1200 though because it was supposed to have filters on it. Although I could probably rig up something for the 900 in a pinch.

When is the 1200 coming out?

The original reports when it was shown was that they were planning on last Sept-ish. I dont know if its been abandoned or not because I really liked the improvements from the 900 and the fact that it was a full tower.

It's just like the Antec 900 but a little bigger.

It looks like it would be quite a big bigger, 12 bays instead of 9. Also it was to come with filters, unlike the 900, and was to come in two versions, one that supported water cooling and one that didnt.

Well, an extra 120mm fan for exhaust and 3 more bays would be "a little bigger" in my book. It's just taller, not wider or deeper.

The Antec 900 can support water cooling without a problem depending on what type of water cooling kit you use.
