Introduction
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Antec Twelve Hundred is a full-tower case targeted to gamers, with an impressive number of cooling options (six fans with speed control for all of them and also a switch to turn the top fan LED on or off), twelve 5 ¼” bays with nine of them available for hard disk drives and several other minor features, like washable dust filters. Let’s take an in-depth look on this latest release by Antec.

Looking at the case for the first time we were impressed by its impeccable paint job.

On Figure 3 you can see the front panel from this case and, as you can see, this case doesn’t have a front door. This case has twelve external 5 ¼” bays and nine of them are used by three hard disk drive cages. As you can see, all covers are meshed for a better airflow and each cage has a washable dust filter. Each cage is also cooled by a 120-mm fan and on the front part of each cage you can find a potentiometer to control the fan speed. Of course we will talk more about the disk drive bays and possible configurations later.
