I just **** on the Antec 1200

[magomago]

It was such a pleasurable build experience....I extended it out over several hours because I never enjoyed putting things together so much. So much space to work with, oh my!!! Done so very well. My grudge? The big fan at the top, if placed on anything beyond low, makes a weird sound like it wasn't greased enough.

Haven't checked out temps yet, but my main concern is to see how well cooled those pair of GTX460s are...

Too bad I have to rip it all apart again come April

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Ew, why would you shit on your case?

 

[zagood]

I think he meant something a little more "spunky."

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Ohhh! I get it now... and he said his fan sounded like it wasn't greased enough... :hmm:

 

[Castiel]

Put the side panel on and the sound goes away.

 

[Krynj]

I agree. Building inside the Antec 1200 is a total breeze. I've been using one for almost 2 years, and I haven't any strange sounds from the top fan.

It's a great case, just wish there was more cable management room in there, and the HDD Bays we're sideways. Very hard fitting 8+ HDDs in there.

Especially with a large video card. Gets pretty cramped in there.

My point exactly (see pic).

Go with SAS/SATA mobile racks and you can do five 3.5" disks in three 5.25" bays.

Do they come in black, and does it fit the Antec 1200?

Yes they come in black and as long as you have sufficient 5.25" bays available they will fit.

 

[Smartazz]

Yeah, it's a total breeze to work with them. As someone already mentioned, the hard drive bays being sideways is annoying, particularly once your video card is already installed. The dust filters are also a nice feature.

Alot of fans seem to have issues when placed horzontal (normally not when they are new, but after time) I know I have my rad mounted int eh top of my case and the fans push the air up and out and have repalced those fans a few times (even when using good fans) but the same fans last forever mounted vertical... shrug...
