    mmonnin I dont know what'd I do with all that room...

    I'd rather have a 900 v2.0 with the fan controls like the 1200.

    Leonardo Thanks for posting that, BJ. During CEBIT a couple reporters took pictures, but only from one or two angles. I've been waiting for details. That's taken care of now.

    Put a motherboard in it to make it lonely. :( No, seriously, assuming one has the space available, big cases are a luxury, in my opinion. They are so much easier to work in. If you're like me, you find yourself tearing apart and rebuilding computers often. (It's a hobby, a compulsion, an affliction? :eek: )

    Thrax Too god damn big. Would prefer a refit of the 900 chassis with the refinements presented in the 1200.

    Exactly. The size of the 900 is plenty big. I don't have time to be tearing apart computers as much as I used to anymore.

    Perfectly understandable. Big cases did not previously appeal to me. My daughter is married and out of the house; my son is in college and essentially runs his own show. My career has settled down and I work very little overtime. There is time for willy-nilly puter reconfiguring and building. I've become a big full tower case fan. Although I think the Antec 900 is superb in design and quality (my system no. 5 is housed in one), for me it has become the minimum size that I desire for a computer case.

    Harudath Antec 900 is the perfect size for me, although the new 1200 does look sweet. I just hope they improved cable routing... The 900's cables look ****, or it's very difficult to make them look tidy. Mine look like a crow's nest :(
  7. Thrax
    Thrax Yeah, cable routing is trash on the 900s. Namely because you can't.

    muddocktor All that room makes it much easier to watercool your machine too, if you want to try watercooling. And that 1200 would probably be a lot cheaper than what I'm presently leaning toward for my next case (MM U2 UFO).

    Qeldroma 30+lbs, about $250, attic storage volume in size? Sorry, not my computer case. If I'm going to start thinking in those terms, maybe think 6 foot, 19" rack with multiple CPUs ... la-de-da-de-doh ....

Howdy, Stranger!
