Anyone think temps would take a major hit compared to the 1200?

I would def stick with the antec 11200,i have been a sucker for antec cases since my first build back in 2006,mostly the 900 and the 1200,now using the df-85 based off the 1200 design.

The tri speed antec stock fans are piles of crap i believe being overrated in the cfm department,running my df-85 with 2 thermaltake 95cfm fans in the rear,two modded inside of the case and one on the door and my top gtx670 which simply never wanted to stay at 70cel or lower can not break 68cel now...with my ac unit now set up warmer.

The case is a bit louder now sorta like a 727 taking off and looking like something from the movie "Tron" with the blue and red led fans but like a hemi,performance usually can make some noise and i happen to like the mods,that and applying artic silver 5 to the top card,that helped lower temps 3 cel...maybe when it cures it would further reduce.:)

I don't think it would be a down grade, it looks like it has plenty of fans and provisions for airflow. I prefer the more conservative look of the Antec gaming line, the Storm Stryker has a period Star Wars apperance, but to each his own-May the force be with you!
